TOUGH ENVIRONMENTS - NO PROBLEM

Kulorthene Corrosion protection in C5M

Case Study

Project: Corrosion Protection in Coastal and

Marine Environments – C5M

Substrate: Steel

Location: Bream Bay, New Zealand

Environment: Coastal aquaculture

Products used: X45 Yellow 9232152S

and 500es White 9231191S

Problem: Corrosion is an issue

encountered by many coastal and

marine facilities throughout New

Zealand. Prolonged exposure to Salt

Water and Ultra Violet Light accelerates

substrate oxidation and corrosion.

Replacement and repair in these

environments can be costly and

eliminated by using Kulorthene.
