Marine-Grade Coating Systems

Protective Coatings

Epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc-rich coating systems engineered for Guam's C5-M marine environment. The same brands used on Navy ships — specified, applied, and documented to ISO 12944.

The Problem

Cheap coatings fail fast on Guam

Hardware-store paint peels within 18 months on Guam. Salt, humidity, and UV break down generic resins — leaving metal exposed to corrosion.

P.01

Peeling & Blistering

Generic paints lack salt and moisture resistance. Osmotic blistering lifts the coating within months, exposing bare metal.

P.02

UV Chalking

Non-UV-stable resins chalk and crack under tropical sun. Each crack is a path for moisture to reach the substrate.

P.03

Wrong System

Using a C3 system in a C5-M environment guarantees premature failure. Proper specification matters more than brand or price.

Industrial-Grade Systems

Marine-grade coatings that actually last

We specify and apply coating systems from Carboline, Hempel, PPG, and Sherwin-Williams — engineered for offshore, marine, and industrial environments.

Zinc-Rich Primers

Sacrificial zinc provides galvanic protection. Even if topcoat is damaged, zinc corrodes first — protecting the steel beneath.

Epoxy Intermediate

High-build epoxy creates the primary moisture barrier. 6-12 mils of impermeable resin between metal and environment.

Polyurethane Topcoat

UV-stable polyurethane provides color retention and gloss. Resists chalking for 10+ years in tropical sun.

Carboline & Hempel

Products specified for offshore platforms, Navy vessels, and petrochemical facilities. Proven in C5-M environments worldwide.

DFT Documentation

Every layer measured with dry-film-thickness gauges. You receive a coating log with readings for each square meter.

Manufacturer Warranties

Systems carry 5-20 year manufacturer warranties. We handle the paperwork and warranty registration.

Process

Specify, apply, document

Every coating project follows a documented specification from primer to final inspection.

System Specification

Select primer, intermediate, and topcoat per ISO 12944 class. Specify DFT ranges, curing times, and application conditions.

Surface Prep

Blast to SP-5 (White Metal) or SP-10 (Near-White). Verify anchor profile with gauge. Clean and dry before application.

Layer Application

Apply zinc primer, epoxy intermediate, and polyurethane topcoat. Measure DFT after each layer. Respect recoat windows.

Final Inspection

Full DFT survey, holiday testing (if immersion), and visual inspection. Deliver coating log and warranty documentation.

FAQ

Protective coating questions

Common questions about our coating systems.

We primarily use Carboline, Hempel, PPG Industrial, and Sherwin-Williams. These brands are specified for offshore platforms, Navy vessels, and petrochemical facilities. We select the specific product based on your environment and application.

A typical three-coat system totals 12-18 mils (300-450 microns): zinc primer at 2-3 mils, epoxy intermediate at 6-10 mils, and polyurethane topcoat at 2-3 mils. Immersion systems may be thicker. We measure and document every layer.

A recoat window is the time range during which a subsequent coat can be applied without special preparation. Too soon and solvents trap in the film; too late and you need to roughen the surface. We follow manufacturer specs exactly.

Yes. For water tanks, pipelines, and submerged structures, we apply epoxy systems rated for continuous immersion. These systems include holiday testing to verify zero pinholes.
