Long-Life Protective Coating Systems for Offshore Wind & Marine Works
Covering ISO 12944 C3–CX environments. Primers, intermediates and topcoats matched to your substrate and service conditions — with selection and quantity guidance across 1,300+ products from 9 leading brands.
Zinc-rich primers, MIO epoxies, glass flake, heat-resistant and fire-protection systems for tanks, pipelines, platforms and plant steelwork.
Nine leading brands, one point of contact
Kansai, Jotun, AkzoNobel International, Nippon, PPG, Hempel, CMP, Zindn and 3Tree — from marine coatings to heavy-duty industrial protection, matched to your project rather than tied to a single brand.

Atmospheric, splash and immersed: three coating problems
The same steel structure can sit in three corrosion environments at once. Each one loads the coating differently, and one system rarely covers all three well.
Read moreHow carbon intensity rules are reshaping hull coating decisions
Carbon rules and fuel penalties are pushing owners to treat hull coatings as a fuel-saving asset rather than a maintenance line item.
Read moreWhy 25-year coating specifications are becoming the norm
Newbuild and industrial tenders increasingly ask for 25 years to first major maintenance. What that shift changes in system selection, film build and shop-floor practice.

Cross-brand comparison, product-level selection support and field application experience — we deliver a coating system, not just a quotation.
Cross-brand comparison
No single-brand lock-in. We compare across nine brands to find the right system for your corrosivity category, application window and budget.
Product-level selection
1,323 products grouped by coating function — primers, intermediates, topcoats, antifoulings, specialities and auxiliaries — so you find the right one quickly.
Application expertise
Field experience from marine, offshore, petrochemical, power and steelwork projects — including surface preparation grade, film thickness and recoat interval guidance.
