Anybody know exactly what this is?

[Johnnybravo]

Got this sent to me by a customer. Anybody know exactly what it is and any recommendations on a company that could do it? It’s an industrial apparatus,mostly stainless steel tubing that needs coating.
Cheers
Johnny

MIO miocrde iron oxide
It seems to be a bonding coat.

Micaceous Iron Oxide is a paint. Used it as a top coat before, you can get a nice colour by mixing silver and black.

Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) Primers For Steel | Rawlins Paints

Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) paints provide long-term protection for steel in aggressive environments, forming a dense, weather-resistant barrier.

Top coat is something like jotun Hardtop with Aluminium powder for corrosion resistance or durability.

I'd get on the blower to jotun or sherwin Williams. Or one of their agents. Whatever you use, you'll need a system of paints that all work with each other.

I'd be going back to the customer and ask them for their preferred paint supplier and then go ask them.

Anythings else and who gets the blame when someone decides it's not good enough . . .

Are they painting the stainless?

That's not a proper specification, you should be given a standard (eg C5) and an expected life to first maintenance say 15 or 20 years.
From that any industrial paint supplier will provide a system that will meet the specification.
It will also include , acceptable salt levels, surface prep and cleanliness etc. (probably sa2.5)

There are many ways to achieve the spec, but what they have asked for sounds like a system they are used to and happy with.
I'd guess it's an International (PPG) system but all the big boys will have something that complies.

Not that kind of customer unfortunately. Good people and I have no issue helping them out. No comeback at all as long as it’s to those specifications

I would imagine it’s an order from an overseas customer. Seems a bit redundant in my book seeing everything is certified 316ss….no cert and you cannot use it

Unless environment has chlorine, weak acids, or lack of oxygen. Then you need a paint system on even the most exotic materials.

You can paint stainless fine but will need to blast it to get a key.
It depends if it "needs" to be painted or if it's just a decorative finish.

I’ve walked away from this. My customer’s customer doesn’t really know what he wants or needs, so best not to get involved. My customer agrees.
