Wall coating and coving in Ludhiana, Punjab

Ludhiana's dyeing and processing houses have some of the worst wall conditions in the city. Steam from machines condenses on walls all day, dye splashes stain them permanently, and caustic and acidic chemicals attack paint and plaster. Many walls in these units are black with mould and dye within a year of painting. Dairy and food units face milder but similar problems, and the city's large hospitals need walls that can be disinfected constantly. The right wall coating depends on which of these you are dealing with.

Dyeing and processing houses

Walls near dyeing machines face:

• constant steam and condensation
• splashes of dye liquor, often hot
• caustic soda and sometimes acids used in processing
• mould growth on damp, porous surfaces

Standard hygienic wall coatings may not survive this. For these areas we specify chemical resistant epoxy wall coatings, chosen for the chemicals your process uses, at least up to the splash height around machines. At the floor, a cove joined to the PU concrete or chemical resistant floor stops liquor from getting into the wall base.

Ventilation matters too. A coating can resist condensation, but a room that is permanently dripping will still have problems at every joint and fitting. We point this out where it applies.

Dairy and food units

Milk, food and snack units in Ludhiana need washable, light-coloured walls with coved floor junctions to meet hygiene expectations. Hygienic epoxy or PU coatings handle daily washing and food spills. Bump rails protect walls from trolleys and crates.

Hospitals

Ludhiana's large hospitals use hygienic coatings in OTs, ICUs, labs, dialysis units and corridors. Walls must tolerate disinfectants without breaking down, and coves at the floor and corners make cleaning faster. Low-odour products allow work in operating wards.

Winter and condensation

Cold Punjab winters make condensation worse, especially in processing houses and kitchens. Coatings applied to wet or cold walls fail. We check wall moisture and temperature, and schedule coating when machines are off and walls have dried, often during planned stoppages.

Preparation steps

1. Remove dye-stained, mouldy and damaged plaster and paint
2. Treat mould with a biocidal wash
3. Repair plaster and cracks
4. Let walls dry, then check moisture
5. Prime, form coves and apply the chosen coating system
6. Seal around pipes, machine connections and fittings

FAQs

Will a coating stop mould in a dyeing unit?

A non-porous coating resists mould far better than paint, but ventilation also needs attention if the room is constantly wet.

Can walls be coated while dyeing machines run?

The area being coated needs to be dry and free of steam, so machines nearby must be stopped during coating and drying.

How high should a dyeing unit wall be coated?

At least to the height of splashes and condensation, and often full height.
