Our Services
Surface Preparation, Metallizing, and Industrial Paints
Peinture d'Hauterive Ltée offers complete anti-corrosion coating services performed at our facility in Henryville, in a controlled industrial environment. Steel manufacturers, specialized contractors, or project owners, our team is available for you.
We coordinate our work with your manufacturing sequences to meet your timelines.
Surface Preparation
Rigorous preparation is the foundation of any high-performance coating system. Without it, even the best coatings won't hold.
Our Abrasive Blasting Process
Our dedicated 32 ft x 175 ft shop is designed to accommodate large structural components. The process is based on manual blasting with recycled steel grit, also commonly known as sandblasting. Our sandblasting services in Quebec are available to clients in Montreal and throughout the province.
Up to four blasters work simultaneously, allowing for fast execution without
compromising the quality of the preparation.
The result: a surface ready to receive a durable coating, with optimal adhesion from the first application.
Thermal Spray Metallizing
Thermal spray metallizing is one of the highest-performing corrosion protection systems for steel structures. Its service life is measured in decades, typically 20 to over 50 years depending on the exposure environment.
A Dual Protection Mechanism
The effectiveness of metallizing relies on two complementary principles:
- The metal coating forms a physical barrier that isolates the steel from moisture and its environment
- The zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, corroding preferentially to protect the underlying steel
This galvanic protection continues to work even in the event of an impact or localized damage. This is what makes it a preferred choice for bridges, viaducts, and structures exposed to severe conditions.
Our Application System
Our semi-automated six-gun electric arc system ensures fast, uniform, and precise application in a 28 ft x 185 ft shop.
A cold-applied process, metallizing requires no extended drying time, allowing for quick handling of parts.
Depending on your project's requirements, it can be used alone or covered with a paint system.
High-Performance Industrial Paints
Our application areas total 20,250 sq. ft. and accommodate parts up to 185 feet in length. A reference in industrial painting in Quebec, Peinture d'Hauterive selects each coating system based on your specifications, contract quotes, and technical standards.
Systems and Applications
Our services include:
- Industrial paints: zinc, epoxy, polyurethane, alkyd
- Bimagrip non-slip membranes
- Hydro-Québec SN-29.3J system (approved applicator)
The choice of system depends on exposure conditions, contractual requirements, and the desired durability. Your project dictates the solution, not the other way around.
Quality and Inspection
Quality is not a goal at Peinture d'Hauterive. It is a documented, measurable, and verifiable process at every step.
Certifications and Standards
- ISO 9001:2015 certified management system
- AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspector (NACE Level 3) certified inspector
- Inspection equipment calibrated in a laboratory, certificates available upon request
Project Follow-Up
At the start of a project, a detailed work and inspection procedure is provided to you. At the end of the work, a complete inspection report accompanies delivery. This traceability reduces the risk of rework and contributes to the reliability of your timelines.
Capabilities and Equipment
Our facility meets the requirements of the most demanding projects:
- Lifting capacity of up to 170,000 lb
- Safe handling at every stage of the process
- Equipment suited to heavy and complex structures
