Industrial Coatings & Abrasive Blasting
Adler Collins Group, a division of Adler Insulation is a best in class abrasive blasting and protective coatings company with the capacity to service across Canada and Internationally.
Our NFPA Certified coatings facility sits on a 3.5 acre fenced and secured lay down yard and has 20,000 sq. ft. of operational space. It is fully equipped with a heated blast bay that significantly reduces the time required to complete any project. Steel temperature is a critical component in the abrasive blasting and protective coatings process, and removing the risk of flash rusting by utilizing our heated bay ensures that the quality of each blast is at the highest standard and is always inspection ready. The facility also houses a fully heated coating and painting bay, which has exceptional lighting and air makeup to allow our technicians to apply the specified coatings with extreme precision and attention to detail in a safe and controlled environment. The air makeup units drastically reduce overspray and aid in the curing process by limiting the amines present. Running the span of the facility is two 20-tonne cranes and one 10-tonne crane, with a combined total of 110,000 lbs of lifting capacity, and an additional 100 ft. exterior crane way as well. Having these overhead cranes makes the offloading and on-loading of materials fast, safe, efficient, and reduces the risks of damages occurring during this process. Adler Insulation has been in operation since 1984, and our protective coatings management team has over 90 years of combined experience. Our installers have over a decade of experience within the industry and with various types of material coatings, products, and systems. Whether applying material for Nuclear, Industrial, Infrastructure, Commercial, or other markets within the construction sector, our goal is simple – To deliver great results through safety, quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

Blasting & Coatings FAQ
Find answers to the most common questions we get about our abrasive blasting and protecting coating services.
Plural components are two or more materials, that when mixed, bond together to create a monolithic barrier. Some materials range from 10% solids all the way to 100% solid.
Volatile Organic Compounds are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquid products and processes. VOC’s include a variety of chemicals which can pose short and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of VOC’s can be up to ten times higher in indoor environments vs. outdoor environments.
The cleaner the substrate is, the better corrosion barrier you will have. If rust pockets or mil scale are present the coating will be compromised in those area. If the bond to the substrate is not strong enough the coating will suffer adhesive failure.
Cathodic protection is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded “sacrificial metal” to act as the anode. The sacrificial metal then corrodes instead of the protected metal. For structures such as long pipelines, where passive galvanic cathodic protection is not adequate, an external DC electrical power source is used to provide sufficient current.
Anodes are the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave a device. Cathodes are the negatively charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device. Anodes sacrifice themselves to the cathodes which results in corrosion.
