Guide to painting industrial pipework and supports

Industrial pipework and supports need degreasing, rust removal, corrosion primer and a durable topcoat, especially around brackets, welds, clamps and exposed steel edges.

What do you need to paint industrial pipework and supports?

Cleaning and degreasing

Mipa silicone remover and Mipa silicone remover spray remove wax, grease and silicone before sanding, priming or coating.

Rust removal

MP Rust Remover Rust-Off removes rust from ferrous metal and flash rust from many substrates before the primer stage.

Sanding pad

MP Sanding Pad helps key curves, edges and awkward metal shapes so the primer has a cleaner mechanical grip.

Epoxy acrylic corrosion primer

Mipa EA 100-20 gives steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, GRP and e-coated surfaces a strong primer layer before the industrial topcoat.

Semi-gloss chassis topcoat

Mipa PU 265-50 is a 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint for durable semi-gloss colour on frames, guards and exposed steel parts.

PU hardener and thinner

Mipa PU 912-25 normal, Mipa PU 914-10 short and Mipa 2K Thinner Normal V 25 support correct curing and spray viscosity for the compatible 2K PU coatings.

How to paint industrial pipework and supports

1
Confirm the pipe is safe to coat

Work only on cool, dry and accessible pipework, and keep identification marks, gauges and functional labels readable.
2
Clean and remove corrosion

Use silicone remover for grease and Rust-Off where ferrous metal has rust or flash rust.
3
Key the surface

Use the sanding pad on brackets, curves and support edges so the primer bonds to a prepared surface.
4
Prime the metal

Apply Mipa EA 100-20 to prepared steel, galvanized steel, aluminium or other suitable listed substrates.
5
Apply the industrial finish

Finish with Mipa PU 265-50 using the compatible PU hardener and thinner, then inspect clamps, underside sections and weld edges.

Which pipework coating products should you choose?

Choose Rust-Off for ferrous corrosion

Use rust remover before primer where pipe supports or brackets show rust that would weaken the coating.

Choose EA 100-20 for the primer

The epoxy acrylic primer is suitable for steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, GRP and e-coated substrates.

Choose PU 265-50 for the finish

The semi-gloss chassis topcoat gives pipework supports and exposed steel a durable industrial colour finish.

Technical details

Mipa EA 100-20 is listed as a 2K zinc phosphate epoxy acrylic primer for steel, galvanized steel, GRP, e-coating and aluminium.
Mipa PU 265-50 is listed as a semi-gloss 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint in 5 kg and 20 kg options across price groups.
MP Rust Remover Rust-Off is listed for rust on ferrous metals and flash rust on many substrates.
Hot pipework, insulated pipework, pressure labels and safety markings need separate checks before coating work starts.

Practical suggestion

Keep flow arrows, inspection tags, valve labels and safety colours readable; repainting should improve protection without making the pipe system harder to identify.
