Requirement
Six dockyard cranes, in a marine/coastal environment, were showing the usual corrosion problems associated with salt and moisture attack. In a competitive tender situation, it was apparent that non-Corroless™ bidders were quoting on three and four coat systems.
Preparation
Surfaces were degreased and then hand prepared to St2 standard of EN ISO 8501-1:2007, washed with fresh water and allowed to dry.
Coatings
By using one coat of Corroless™ SHB High Build, followed by one full coat of Corroless™ RF16, substantial labour savings were made, enabling Corroless™ to win the contract whilst still providing the protection required. Corroless™ EPF provided the ideal coating for the chassis areas due to its excellent durability and toughness.
Comments:
A life to first maintenance of 10 years was expected. Corroless™ SHB no longer available.
