Pipe Coating Specialists
Since the 1980’s Northpoint has been delivering fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) pipe and pipe fittings coatings solutions, servicing a number of industries including water supply and treatment, offshore, and gas and oil pipelines.
Akzo Nobel Resicote is the preferred FBE coating option for these sectors and holds a comprehensive range of approvals combined with a worldwide track record. Resicote can be applied to external and internal surfaces of pipes and fittings and exceeds all industry pipe coating standards.
Sheet Metal Coatings
Northpoint is an expert in sheet metal and metal component powder coatings, providing a vast array of colours, alongside solutions for textured or leatherette finishes. Sheet metal can be finished in a range of coatings including:
Polyester powder coatings, where long lasting colour retention is paramount. Usually applied to parts for outdoor use.
Epoxy powder coatings, which is ideal for corrosion protection on sheet metal and other components. Epoxy’s are used on parts for indoor use and/or aggressive environments.
Epoxy/Polyester, a combination for those environments where both the above points are priority.
PPA 571 a ‘warm to touch’ plastic type coating normally used on handrails and similar high touch products.
Thermal Stripping
Northpoint is a specialist in the removal of powder, paint and other coatings through thermal stripping. This service provides an effective substitute for stripping paint and coatings from metal, which can be very time consuming. Our expertise and in-house facility allow us to ensure strict quality control and provide a complete solution to customers, from stripping to re-coating.
The stripped metal will have a smoother base, meaning the powder coating application will be much more effective; creating a more polished look and ensuring longevity of the new coating. This service ultimately improves the product finish after coating.

Shot Blasting
Located in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, Northpoint delivers two types of shot blasting services; hanger type and booth. Our dedicated shot blasting booth is ideal for larger parts, fittings and pipes to be treated by our trained professionals. Hanger type shot blasting is a semi automated process, where complete descaling and reconditioning of smaller metal parts is required.
A smooth finish is not the only benefit of shot blasting; after the metal part has been cleaned, the engineer can also identify any structural issues such as compromised weld joints and corrosion. These issues can then be addressed to provide reinforced reliability and longevity of the part before powder coating. In addition, shot blasting provides an environmentally friendly, cost effective solution to the reuse of metal parts.
Northpoint can provide shot blasting services to a commercial grade finish, meeting the ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5 or ISO 8501-1 Sa 3 standards as per client specification.

Protective Coating for the Automotive Sector
In the automotive industry, durability and aesthetics are equally important. Components must endure constant exposure to road conditions, temperature changes, and environmental factors while maintaining a flawless, professional finish.
With projects ranging from vehicle trailers to small complex components, it is imperative that we understand the required level of protection that your item needs. ISO 12944 is a good place to start when determining what level of protection you require. You should also think about the thickness of the item, substrate and location where it will be going as these can all influence what the recommended coating specification is.
At Northpoint, we deliver sustainable advanced protective coating for automotives tailored to the specific demands of the automotive sector, ensuring superior protection, longevity, and visual appeal for vehicles and parts.
Protective Coating for the Fencing Sector
Fencing plays a crucial role in providing security, privacy, and aesthetic value across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
