Save Time with Tesla NanoCoatings’ Two-Coat System Coating application is more often than not a time consuming process. Not only does the application itself require the attention and energy of skilled personnel, but operations come to a halt as areas are shut off for extended periods of time during the application and dry times of a coating. In our previous article we discussed how Tesla NanoCoatings’ patented 2×1 Wet Edge™ technology eliminates the need for stripe coating when painting steel structures. While Wet Edge technology plays an incredibly significant factor in reducing coating application time, [...]

Eliminate Stripe Coating with TESLAN

Eliminate Stripe Coating with TESLAN The Challenge: Edge Retention When it comes to protective coatings, one of the biggest challenges of the application process is the principle of edge retention. Loosely defined, edge retention is the notion of sufficient, evenly distributed coating thickness over sharp edges and inside of crevices. These shapes are incredibly common in steel structures, in the form of welded joints, angle steel, and many more. These corners, while not necessarily difficult to apply a coating to, tend to be the source of many offshore paint system failures. Why is that? The application [...]

Tesla NanoCoatings Revolutionizes Offshore Wind Protection

Protective Coatings for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations Offshore wind turbines are becoming an increasingly popular source of renewable energy, with the potential to power millions of homes. However, these structures are constantly exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including saltwater, high winds, and extreme temperatures. This makes it crucial to have protective coatings in place to ensure the longevity and efficiency of these turbines. Historically, protective coatings for offshore wind turbine foundations have been riddled with compromise. However, Tesla NanoCoatings has set its sights on the offshore wind industry to deliver a solution that is cost-effective, [...]

Tesla NanoCoatings for Non-Skid Applications

Admin2025-01-02T05:33:54+00:00September 7, 2023|

The Role of Non-Skid Deck Coatings in Offshore Safety Offshore oil platforms are faced with a unique set of safety-related challenges that can be attributed to their setting: namely, the risk of slip-and-fall injuries. Slip-and-falls are one of the most commonly reported types of injury on offshore oil platforms. It’s easy to understand why when you consider the near constant exposure to ocean spray that offshore platforms are subjected to. The moisture that makes its way up onto any deck or walkway can create a slippery surface, which puts personnel at increased risk of falling. To counteract the [...]
