🔧Naval flooring processing – Holson Impianti

When it comes to ship maintenance, one of the most critical areas is exposed metal flooring. Wear and tear, atmospheric agents, salt water and mechanical stress can compromise the integrity of surfaces. For this reason, Holson Impianti has intervened with a complete cycle of restoration and waterproofing on sheet metal surfaces on board ships, ensuring durability and high performance.

1. Inspection and initial preparation of the sheet metal 📸

Objective: identify damaged areas and remove all contaminated layers

The process begins with localised mechanical brushing, focusing on areas subject to corrosion or damage. Existing paint and contaminants are removed down to the bare metal. This step is essential for the proper adhesion of subsequent materials.

2. Sanding and uniform preparation of the entire area 📸

Objective: to ensure uniform, rough support for adhesion

Using professional grinders, the entire surface is treated to even it out, clean it and create controlled micro-roughness. This phase allows for optimal anchoring of the subsequent resin, preventing premature detachment.

3. Timely repairs and corrosion protection 📸

Objective: restore continuity and prevent further oxidation

The damaged areas are treated with two-component structural resins. Where necessary, fibre reinforcements and epoxy fillers are applied to stop the spread of corrosion and restore the original mechanical properties.

4. Manual application of the base resin📸

Objective: to create an adhesive and waterproof base barrier

An experienced operator manually applies a high-adhesion, moisture- and sea salt-resistant base resin. This layer prepares the surface for finishing and prevents infiltration.

5.High-performance waterproofing finishing cycle for naval flooring📸

Objective: to ensure durability and ease of maintenance

The cycle ends with the application of two-component epoxy or polyurethane resin, with a glossy, elastic and waterproof finish. The final layer is resistant to mechanical loads, UV rays and chemical agents.
