2025-04-26

Client Background 

A major Southeast Asian fishing company operating 35 steel-hulled vessels faced severe corrosion issues due to prolonged exposure to high-temperature, high-salinity waters. Frequent dry-docking every 1.5 years significantly impacted fishing operations and maintenance costs.  

Solution: EPZ-300 Marine-Grade Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer System  

– Superior Anti-Corrosion: Zinc content up to 82% for optimal cathodic protection  

– Tropical Climate Adaptability: Excellent curing performance in high humidity (≥85% RH) and temperatures above 30°C  

– High Construction Efficiency: 3-hour overcoating window significantly reduces maintenance time  

Project Results  

✔ Completed coating application for 12 vessels within 45 days during monsoon season  

✔ 40% reduction in dry-dock time compared to previous coating solutions  

✔ Zero corrosion detected after 2 years of service  

✔ ROI achieved within 18 months through reduced maintenance costs  

Client Testimonial  

“The EPZ-300 coating has extended our maintenance cycles by 3 times while withstanding our harsh operating conditions. We are now transitioning our entire fleet to this solution.”
