As they are exposed to the atmospheric conditions throughout the year and face a variety of complex corrosion factors, it is essential to take effective measures to prevent corrosion and rust in steel structure power transmission towers. Next, manufacturers of acrylic polyurethane paints will explain how to choose the appropriate anti-corrosion paints for such towers, as well as the corresponding anti-corrosion solutions. For the surface preparation of steel structure towers prior to painting, there are generally two methods. One is sandblasting, which is a commonly used approach that enhances the corrosion resistance of steel components; its drawback is that it is susceptible to influences such as environmental conditions as well as the size and shape of the steel components. Another method is manual rust removal, which is often used in situations where sandblasting is not feasible. To achieve a SAT3 level with manual rust removal, it is necessary to remove weld residues, oil, dust, and other contaminants from the surface of steel components. Common anti-corrosion solutions for steel structure towers: 1. Epoxy zinc-rich primer + epoxy ferrochrome intermediate coat + fluorocarbon paint. This combination offers strong anti-corrosion properties and can be considered a high-level anti-corrosion solution; it is suitable for steel structure towers located in areas subject to marine environmental influences, with an anti-corrosion lifespan of up to 20 years. 2. The combination of epoxy zinc-rich primer + epoxy ferrochrome intermediate coat + acrylic polyurethane paint offers good performance in terms of weather resistance, aesthetics, and wear resistance. The acrylic polyurethane paint provides a hard coating with excellent decorative properties, and together with the zinc-rich primer and ferrochrome intermediate coat, it delivers solid protection against corrosion and rust. 3. Red lead anti-rust primer + alkyd varnish: For general anti-rust and corrosion protection requirements, using red lead anti-rust paint in combination with alkyd paint is sufficient. Manufacturers of acrylic polyurethane paints advise that when choosing anti-corrosion paint for steel structure power towers and determining the corresponding anti-corrosion solutions, it is necessary to take into account factors such as the required service life and the operating environment. It is important to be clear about one’s own requirements when purchasing paint, so as to select an appropriate anti-corrosion solution.
