Worcester, MA Industrial Painting & Coatings Abrasion Resistance Guide Released
Oct 21, 2026
Arthur Cole Painting (508-799-9019) has published a new guide on abrasion resistance in industrial and anticorrosion coatings, aimed at facility managers and asset owners across Southern New England whose protective systems are failing prematurely in grit chambers, walkways, and other high-wear environments.
Worcester, United States, October 21, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Arthur Cole Painting, a family-owned contractor serving Southern New England since 1960, has published a new guide on abrasion resistance in industrial and anticorrosion coatings. The Worcester company examines why protective systems that perform well on paper can fail within months once friction and foot traffic begin wearing down the film.

The guide is aimed at facility managers, asset owners, and designers responsible for industrial infrastructure. It tackles a problem the company often sees on site: shiny spots, bare metal, and fresh rust returning to busy areas soon after a recoat. Wastewater grit chambers, metal walkways, industrial floors, and pipework in confined spaces are named as frequent trouble spots.
Corrosion remains one of industry’s costliest maintenance challenges. According to NACE International’s IMPACT study, the global cost of corrosion is estimated at approximately $2.5 trillion annually, equivalent to roughly 3.4% of global GDP. The same research found that applying established corrosion prevention practices could reduce that cost by between 15% and 35% each year.
Arthur Cole Painting’s guide notes that capturing those savings depends on selecting coatings that resist mechanical wear as well as chemical attack. It explains how abrasion gradually thins a coating until water, salts, and chemicals can reach the metal beneath, and outlines how resin technology, additives, film thickness, and curing conditions all influence how long a system holds up.
“Facilities often invest in a quality anticorrosion system, only to see it worn through in a grit chamber or along a walkway within a year,” an Arthur Cole Painting spokesperson said. “Corrosion and abrasion resistance have to be considered together. This guide is intended to help managers ask the right questions before their next coating project.”
The guide also compares four common coating types. Polyurea is rated highest for abrasion resistance and recommended for grit chambers and confined spaces, while polyurethane suits metal structures and epoxy is paired with industrial floors. Zinc-rich systems are noted for marine environments. Further sections cover surface preparation, Taber abrasion testing, and a five-step application process that concludes with regular inspection.
