Cameron County is one of the toughest places in Texas to keep metal looking and performing like new. Humid, salty Gulf air goes after every scratch and weld seam. PF prepares and coats parts for that environment at our Harlingen facility, close enough for same-day drop-off.
/ 01
Starbase-area supplier work
Fabricators and suppliers supporting the Boca Chica launch area build ground-support equipment, fixtures, carts, enclosures and structural steel on tight timelines. We blast, mask and coat those parts so they arrive on site protected, with critical faces and threaded holes kept clean.
/ 02
Port of Brownsville & marine equipment
Shipbuilding, ship recycling, energy and cargo operations around the port put steel in constant contact with salt spray. Properly blasted and coated handrails, gratings, skids, brackets and equipment housings last far longer between maintenance cycles.

Sandblasting first, then coat
Most coating failures near the coast start underneath the finish. We remove rust, scale and old coatings with abrasive blasting to SSPC surface-prep standards, then apply the powder or liquid system your environment calls for — all in one trip.
