DRY PLATE PRESERVATIVE (DPP):
DPP, the abrasive cleaning and coating of plate with specially formulated inorganic primers prior to fabrication, is cost effective and environmentally responsible, and eliminates the use of oil to preserve the abrasive cleaned surface.
Prior to processing the plate, we enter each plate into a database, recording all plate markings for re-marking on completion of the process. The plate is abrasive blast cleaned to SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2, Near White Metal specification, through horizontal centrifugal blasting wheels using steel abrasive to provide a controlled profile of 1.5 - 2.5 mils. The steel grit is cleaned and recycled in a closed loop system. Plates can be cleaned on one side only or both sides as desired.
The fabricator is able to flame, plasma or laser cut, shape and weld the processed plates to classification society standards with demonstrable cost benefits obtained from improved production and minimal surface preparation. The DPP fabricated product can then be coated with virtually any topcoat system.
Take advantage of this new service to North America and enjoy the savings associated with the use of DPP while avoiding the cost of environmental compliance associated with surface preparation and oils at the fabrication facility,
Benefits of DPP by Blastech:
- Eliminates blast and oil procedure
- Eliminates oil contamination of plate
- Reduces cost of blasting and priming plate
- Eliminates cost of removal of oils prior to coating
- Computer controlled application to ensure a high quality standard
- Ability to process one side or both sides of plate
- Ease of cutting, shaping, welding and reduction of weld splatter removal cost by the fabricator
- Reduces need to clean rolling equipment
