Bright colours are often a popular choice for cranes that will be seen for miles across a city landscape. Occasionally a company asks for restraint on colour to blend into the industrial setting and look highly functional and purposeful.
For this particular project Ultrimax have been asked by a regular customer to keep the system to a high specification and the colour within muted industrial tones.
After some collaboration a recommendation for a system was submitted. The decision to stay with one brand for the system in Jotun ensured that all paints would be designed to work in collaboration and would not react against each other causing paint issues.
Using the same system is always a code of best practise in paint to minimise paint problems, diagnosis issues and re-work later down the line.
For stage one of the system as a primer Jotun Penguard ZP primer was suggested.
Jotun Penguard Express ZP Primer is a fast drying, high solids, two pack zinc phosphate pigmented epoxy coating which may be applied in high film thickness and at lower temperatures.
For use as an anti corrosive primer and/or intermediate coating for corrosion protection of steel and other substrates in atmospheric exposure where fast dry-to-recoat and dry-to-handle times are desired. Can be used alone or in various systems of primers and topcoats.
To finish off and following the same system principle Jotun Hardtop XP was recommended,
Jotun Hardtop XP is one of the most trusted products in marine building and vessel maintenance. One reason is it adheres to strict IMO/Solas directives and ISO standards. Additional benefits of this topcoat include:
Ideal for exposed offshore buildings and maritime uses thanks to its long-lasting protection against corrosive atmospheric environments
Recommended for use on large structures thanks to its optimum viscosity
Can be applied using airless spray, roller or brush
Requires just two coats for a maintenance cycle of four years
Good application properties with low dry spray
Excellent 5mý per litre coverage
Choice of colours to match any surface
Quick drying time (six hours at 10øC/2 hours at 40øC for touch; 14 days/three days respectively for service)
