This 25m aluminium patrol boat was built in Western Australia for the Tasmania Police Force. This was a great opportunity for Transocean Coatings products to shine. The applicator, being experienced in yacht paints, took great care during surface preparation and application to achieve a high grade finish. The TO2.19 Transpoxy Intermediate epoxy was sanded as part of the process to achieve the level of finishing the client expected. This extra step is not commonly seen in coating for commercial shipping. Yacht-grade thinner (To 6.14) was specified to optimise the flow and sheen of the polyurethane topcoats.

Transpoxy Barrier FF (2.16FF) at 100µm, Transpoxy Masterbond BT (4.68) at 125µm and 75µm polyurethane topcoat were used for 300 microns of protection on these crane parts in Azerbaijan.
As no zinc primer was used, this system is in line with the dry film thickness requirements of ISO 12944-5 for a C4 (very high) and C5 (high) corrosive environments, making it very suitable for use in coastal areas such as a harbour.

Transurethane Finish HB polyurethane topcoat can be applied at a dry film thickness up to 100 micron in a single coat without affecting gloss properties. This high build property makes that it can be used for diverse projects and that is exactly why it is a popular choice for Transocean Coatings customers in Australia as can be seen in these pictures.

Further adding to its flexibility in specifications are the tough film, with good resistance against the spillage of oils and chemicals and the fact that it can be applied direct to various metals for protection in a mild industrial environment.

All and all, Transurethane Finish HB is a durable topcoat with excellent gloss and colour retention for use in coatings systems for C2 to C5 and CX environments (ISO12944, ISO 9223).
