From bridges and tanks to one of the worldโs most iconic scientific structures โ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ง๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ยฎ continues to support demanding surface preparation projects across the industrial coatings industry.
CoatingsPro Magazine recently featured the recoating of the ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐. ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐ง๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ, the worldโs largest fully steerable radio telescope. The project required wet abrasive blasting, strict dust control, challenging access, and careful planning in a remote West Virginia location.
As part of the surface prep process, ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ง๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฎ was added to the blast water to help minimize flash rusting on newly exposed steel.
This is exactly the kind of project that shows why surface preparation matters.

Proud to see HoldTight play a role in helping preserve this incredible structure.
