Yes. Matkel industrial polyurethane finish coats are specified for factories, yards, and ports in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. They resist UV fading, Gulf humidity, salt spray, and rust, helping protect steel, concrete, and equipment in harsh outdoor conditions.
Industrial polyurethane provides a harder, glossier topcoat with better solvent, oil, abrasion, and chemical resistance, making it preferred for exterior facades and machinery. Alkyd coatings can be easier to apply and lower cost, but they often need repainting sooner in high-heat industrial areas.
Yes. Steel surfaces usually need a compatible epoxy, zinc-rich, or galvanized-metal primer before finishing. Remove rust, grease, dust, and loose material, then sand or blast to the recommended profile and confirm the surface is dry before applying the polyurethane coat.
Most specifications call for one primer coat plus two polyurethane finish coats, with total dry film thickness set by project drawings. Touch-dry time may be only a few hours, while full curing and safe operation usually take 7 to 14 days, depending on temperature, humidity, and substrate.
Airless or conventional spray is preferred for even film build on large structures, while brush and roller can work for small repairs. Matkel offers technical data sheets, heat-resistant grades, and color options suited to factories, warehouses, and marine sites across Saudi Arabia.
