corrosion protection : Steelpaint

The brochure by Steelpaint introduces the SP-PUR-ZINCING system as a highly reliable solution for long-term cathodic corrosion protection in shipbuilding and port construction. It is specifically designed for high-stress steel areas such as cargo holds, tanktops, deck areas, and hatch covers, where cheap standard coatings typically fail after brief exposure.

Steelpaint emphasizes that practical, real-world performance is what counts – not just lab tests or certificates. Numerous reference projects, including vessels from Oldendorff and Berge Bulk, as well as infrastructure like the Columbus Quay in Bremerhaven, demonstrate exceptional corrosion resistance even after 9+ years, often without requiring recoating.

SP-PUR coatings maintain performance even when surface preparation is limited to high-pressure water jetting, proving robust under mechanical stress, saltwater, and UV radiation. Unlike cheap mass-market alternatives, SP-PUR systems do not become brittle or flake, avoiding costly repairs.

The core message is clear: Those who buy cheap pay twice. While SP-PUR-ZINCING may be more expensive upfront, it significantly reduces maintenance, repair cycles, and long-term costs, offering peace of mind and sustainable value.

Bottom line: Once used, SP-PUR-ZINCING proves its quality — and is used again and again by those who prioritize durability and reliability in tough environments.
