Surface Protection that Extends Service Life

Corrosion, abrasion, and environmental exposure can rapidly degrade high-pressure equipment in the oil and gas industry.
At NorthStar Technologies – Oil & Gas Division, our blasting and industrial coating services are designed to restore, protect, and preserve the integrity of flow iron, valves, manifolds, and other pressure-bearing assemblies.

Performed under our API-Q2 Certified Quality Management System, these services ensure that every component leaving our facility is clean, coated, and ready for reliable field performance.

Purpose of Blasting & Industrial Coatings

In harsh oilfield environments, moisture, chemicals, and abrasive media attack unprotected metal surfaces.
Blasting and industrial coatings remove existing corrosion, prepare surfaces for coating adhesion, and apply durable protective finishes that resist wear and weathering.

The result is a longer-lasting, corrosion-resistant piece of equipment that maintains both performance and compliance with OEM and API-Q2 standards.

Our Process

All blasting and coating operations follow a controlled procedure within NorthStar’s API-Q2 certified system.

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Components are cleaned and blasted using approved abrasives to achieve the proper anchor profile for coating adhesion.

Step 2: Inspection
After blasting, surfaces are inspected for pitting, defects, or contamination. Surface cleanliness is verified before coating application.

Step 3: Coating Application
Industrial coatings are applied in one or multiple layers according to specification, including epoxy, urethane, or zinc-based systems for maximum protection.

Step 4: Curing and Quality Verification
Coatings are cured under controlled conditions. Film thickness, adhesion, and coverage are measured and recorded.

Step 5: Final Documentation
Each component receives identification and documentation confirming coating type, batch, and inspection results.

Benefits of Certified Blasting & Coatings
