BRIDGE CABLE

Bridge cables

With a single 60–80 μm coat, the supplied literature reports field salt-spray cycling exceeding 15,000 hours, a corrosion rate of 0.014 mm/year (92% lower), and design life increasing from 10 to 25 years, reducing lifecycle costs.

Solution highlights

  • Exposure: coastal and sea-crossing salt spray, structural loads and prolonged UV exposure.
  • Protection system: a nano inorganic single coat against salt spray, structural loading and UV exposure.
  • Substrates: bridge cables, structural steel, highway guardrails and other transport steelwork.
  • Recommended thickness: a single 60–80 μm coat.

COASTAL / MARINE

Coastal facilities · Offshore engineering · Ships

The fully inorganic structure resists marine fouling, including barnacles. Self-growth, barrier protection, cathodic protection and passivation provide four mechanisms of protection, with reported salt-spray resistance exceeding 20,000 hours.

Solution highlights

  • Ships: after a 60–80 μm application, no underwater peeling or marine fouling was observed in the supplied records.
  • Nano inorganic single-coat technology can reduce multi-coat application during conventional hull maintenance and help limit marine fouling.
  • Ship applications: hull coating validation on multiple domestically built coastal workboats and container ships, as described in the supplied literature.
  • Applications: coastal facilities, port machinery, offshore platforms, hull plating and ship sides.

PETROCHEMICAL

Petrochemical

A 40–60 μm spray application addresses coating failures under high-temperature, high-pressure oilfield conditions that can cause equipment corrosion and seized valves, reducing maintenance, replacement costs and unplanned production losses.

Solution highlights

  • Challenge: combined heat, pressure, salt spray and corrosive media can cause conventional coating failure.
  • Coating system: 40–60 μm spray application to maintain coating integrity under heat and pressure.
  • Application compliance: zero solvents; the supplied literature states full compliance with explosion-proof application requirements.
  • Benefits: longer corrosion protection service life and fewer annual maintenance shutdowns.
