Cranes

Ports are generally classified as extreme C5M environments so everything needs to be protected and maintained.  To make matters worse, there is never a lot of time between vessel mooring times to apply protective coatings.  MCU-Coatings work really well in these situations because they only require 2 coats, they dry quickly and can be recoated 45 minutes after being applied, so it is now possible to complete essential maintenance within a single shift.

Our standard product specification for cranes is 150µm DFT MCU-Zinc primer and 75µm DFT MCU-Miotopcoat:

Other system features:

• Single-component system that can be brushed, rolled or sprayed
• Unlimited open times in a closed pot
• It is not weather restricted:
  • can be applied between 6% – 99% relative humidity
  • can be applied at -15°C and even onto 70°C steel surfaces
  • no dew point restrictions; and
  • are not troubled by rain events 15 minutes after application
• Our universal primers are surface tolerant
• It can be over-coated in 45 minutes, which is useful when carrying out maintenance works
• They remain flexible and are not affected by vibrations and steel flexing
• The coatings do not embrittle over time and have excellent UV resistance
• MCU-Coatings bond tenaciously to good ‘old’ coatings

This 2-coat paint system guarantees faster project completion times and application savings up to 50% as it is not subject to climatic weather restrictions like traditional polyurethane and epoxy coatings. It will also reduce the annualised cost of maintenance because of the extended life of the coating.
