New Kent Coatings is an industrial coatings and corrosion control expert that helps clients protect their most critical equipment and assets from harsh environments. The Virginia-based company provides a comprehensive suite of industry-best coating solutions. Founded in 2010, New Kent Coatings began providing solutions for petrochemical storage facilities and grew organically to now specialize in complex corrosion mitigation solutions in every industrial space.

“Our expertise and longstanding relationships with industry-leading players help us serve as a go-to provider for all of the coating needs of a wide range of industry verticals, including pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, and mining,” says Jesse Clark, the President of New Kent Coatings. The company prides itself on being the frontrunner in leveraging new technologies and solutions—that are often yet unknown to the industry—to help enhance the longevity of clients’ equipment and assets.

New Kent Coatings’ portfolio encompasses a wide range of services, ranging from sandblasting, concrete restoration, corrosion surveys, floor coatings, industrial cleaning, industrial coatings, intumescent and cementitious fireproofing, surface preparation, tank coating, and tank lining, to name a few. “We offer UHP water blasting and dry-ice blasting that is best-fit in environments where traditional media blasting is not applicable or to help clean delicate parts, setting us apart from the competition,” says Clark.

What gives New Kent Coatings an edge is its ability to work on any substrate material out in the market. “There’s nothing that we shy away from,” adds Clark. “We’re SSPC QP1 certified and have NACE Level III Certified Coatings Inspectors on staff who’ve worked in every environment imaginable.”

From media blasting to cleaning and surface preparation to specialized coatings application, the company strives to meet the most rigorous engineering standards and ensure safety while offering cost-saving solutions and addressing clients’ corrosion concerns. The team at New Kent Coatings is trained to ensure professional integrity, technical excellence, innovation, quality workmanship, and extraordinary customer service.

Unlike an average painting contractor, New Kent Coatings excels in solving all complex coating use cases by leveraging its highly specialized products and uniquely skilled workforce. For instance, the company recently collaborated with a leading manufacturer to help them with a simple coating solution. However, in its further conversation with the client, the team at New Kent Coatings identified other issues that plagued their operation and, oftentimes, lead to downtimes. They had a stainless steel ducting system that got clogged in every six to eight months, primarily due to its shape and nature of material flowing through. Dedicated to helping them, the company deployed a team of experts to blast the duct and then apply a coating that could lower the coefficient of friction, allowing the material to slide through without building up. Post-collaboration, the client was able to significantly increase their uptime and reduce expenses pertaining to duct maintenance.

Several such success stories stem from New Kent Coatings’ dedication to building sustainable relationships with customers and serving as the indisputable leader in the industrial coatings space. Moving ahead, the company continues to grow organically by focusing more on technological enhancement and infrastructural development. “We always strive to improve our value proposition and continue to be the premier industrial coatings contractor, bringing value and longevity to customer’s assets,” concludes Clark.
