Polar Dry Ice Cleaning Limited provides specialist coatings, surface preparation and protective finishing services for commercial and industrial environments across the UK. This sector focuses on protecting structural assets, plant and buildings through correct preparation, high performance coating systems and compliant fire protection finishes. The goal is long term durability, safety and reduced lifecycle maintenance.
Specialist coatings for industrial and commercial environments
Specialist coatings go far beyond decorative painting. They are engineered systems designed to protect steel, concrete and composite surfaces from corrosion, chemical exposure, weathering and operational wear. In many settings they also form part of a wider compliance and safety strategy, especially where fire protection or anti corrosion performance is required.
Our team works across factories, warehouses, commercial buildings and industrial facilities, delivering coating solutions that are matched to the substrate, environment and performance requirement. Each project is approached as a system rather than a single product, ensuring compatibility between preparation method, primer layers and final coating finish.
Surface preparation that underpins coating performance
Successful coating performance always starts with correct surface preparation. Without the right preparation profile and cleanliness standard, even the best coating systems will fail early. We select preparation methods in line with manufacturer specifications and recognised industry standards so adhesion and durability are not compromised.
Preparation methods include abrasive media blasting for the removal of heavy coatings, corrosion and contamination, plus dry ice blasting where a non abrasive, residue free process is better suited to sensitive or specialist environments. This ensures coatings are applied to stable, properly prepared substrates with reduced risk of premature breakdown.
Industrial painting and protective coating systems
Our specialist coatings capability includes industrial and commercial painting systems applied to both new and existing structures. This covers internal and external façades, cladding, steelwork, plant and high traffic operational areas. Protective systems are chosen based on exposure, usage and expected service life.
Projects often include façade resprays, cladding refurbishment, resin based floor coatings and anti corrosion systems for structural steel and equipment. Work is carried out in live commercial and industrial settings with careful planning around access, safety and operational continuity. The focus is always on achieving a durable finish that performs in demanding conditions.
Intumescent fire protection coatings
Intumescent coatings form an important part of passive fire protection strategies in many buildings that contain structural steel. When exposed to high temperatures, these coatings expand and form an insulating char layer. This slows heat transfer to the substrate and helps maintain structural integrity for the required fire resistance period.
Application requires careful control of film thickness, substrate condition and environmental factors. Our technicians are trained in intumescent coating application and quality control, with each stage monitored from preparation through to final finish. This supports compliance, consistency and reliable long term fire protection performance.
Quality, safety and accredited delivery
All specialist coatings works are delivered by trained, competent teams using compliant access equipment and approved working practices. Health, safety and quality management sit at the centre of delivery, supported by recognised industry accreditations and internal quality controls. This gives clients confidence that projects are completed to the required standards in both performance and safety.
