Barnecutt Bakery –Wadebridge, Cornwall

Client: Barnecutt Bakery — Location: Wadebridge, Cornwall — Date: September 2023

Project Overview

Blast Clean & Coatings was contracted to deliver a complete fire protection and decorative coating system to the structural steel framework of the new Barnecutt Bakery facility. The project involved both intumescent fire protection and a high-quality topcoat finish in RAL 7016, delivered in full accordance with PPG’s system specifications.

Objectives

  • Apply a compliant intumescent coating system to pre-primed steel
  • Ensure inter-coat adhesion using a tie coat
  • Achieve a durable, decorative finish in RAL 7016
  • Deliver the project on time and to technical specification

Our Approach

The steel arrived pre-primed by the fabricator. We applied SigmaCover 280 as a tie coat to ensure excellent adhesion between the primer and the intumescent layer. Following this, we applied PPG Steelguard 851 as the fire protection coating. Once cured, a topcoat of PPG Steelguard 2458 in RAL 7016 was applied to achieve a durable and visually uniform finish, in full compliance with PPG specifications.

Results

• Full compliance with PPG fire protection requirements

• Clean and consistent decorative finish in RAL 7016

• Delivered on schedule with smooth on-site coordination

• Enhanced safety and long-term durability for steel structure
