PWENT’s painting packages provide a complete external refurbishment of gas cylinders: from the removal of old paint to a new paint finish in accordance with the ADR colour code — all in a single package. New category — previously, the individual steps (cleaning, painting, marking) could be ordered separately; now they are also available as an integrated solution.

Contents of the package
The standard painting package includes the following steps: (1) External cleaning using shot blasting or a wire brush — complete removal of old paint and rust. (2) Surface preparation and application of primer — the basis for a durable finish. (3) Top coat with colour code in accordance with ADR regulations — oxygen white, acetylene chestnut brown, hydrogen red, nitrogen black, argon dark green, CO2 grey. (4) Drying. (5) Re-labelling — manufacturing data, test print, gas type marking. (6) Official report.

Two types of service
Workshop painting: the customer delivers their bottles to the PWENT workshop, where the entire painting process takes place in an optimised environment. Typically more cost-effective and faster. On-site painting: at the customer’s premises, using a mobile painting unit — there is no need to transport the bottles. More expensive, but does not disrupt the customer’s operations.

Package dimensions
The painting packages are available for quantities of 10+, 50+, 100+ and 500+ cylinders, with volume discounts. Larger quantities result in a proportionally lower unit price. We particularly recommend this to gas plant partners who wish to refurbish their cylinder fleets.

Other surface treatments
In addition to painting, we also offer specialist surface treatments: anti-corrosion coatings, heat-resistant coatings (for high-temperature applications) and anti-static coatings (for potentially explosive environments). Request a quote for a painting package tailored to your cylinder fleet.
