PROTECTIVE AND MARINE COATINGS

SYSTEM GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
Wattyl Industrial Coatings has a wide range of Protective and Marine Coating products that may be used in
combination to make hundreds of different coating systems. This guide is designed to assist in the selection of the
correct coating system for your application by providing Wattyl Industrial Coatings’ most common coating systems for
typical substrates and exposure environments.
System selection is a function of: exposure environment, expected life, substrate material, substrate condition,
previous coating (if present), surface preparation method, application method, application conditions and structure
design.
Correct surface preparation is critical to the longevity of any coating system. For details of surface preparation
methods refer to the surface preparation sections (I-10 to I-14) of the Wattyl Protective and Marine Coatings Manual
along with the appropriate Australian Standards. For further assistance with system selection for a specific project
please contact your local Wattyl Industrial Coatings Sales Representative or contact Valspar Customer Service on
132 101.

MAINTENANCE – WATTYL SYSTEM

Remove all surface contaminants and degrease where present using biodegradable degreasing solution. As in normal
docking/slipping practices, fouling, loose paint, residues from degreasing and/or other contaminants should be removed by high-
pressure water cleaning (HPWC) (using fresh and clean water) at 34-70 MPa (5000-10000 psi). Any fouling and/or loose coating
remaining after HPWC must be removed by scraping or sweep blasting. Any corroded areas should be spot blasted in accordance
with AS1627.4 to a minimum Sa 2½ (AS1627.9), have edges feathered and spot primed and coated with a Wattyl recommended
system.

MAINTENANCE – PREVIOUSLY APPLIED UNKNOWN SYSTEM

Following degreasing and surface preparation, apply 3 x 75 microns spot coats of SeaPro TC90 Tiecoat to all bare areas, followed
by one full ‘seal coat’ of SeaPro TC90 Tiecoat to a dry film thickness of 50 microns. Allow to dry and then apply the appropriate

MAINTENANCE – WATTYL SYSTEM

Remove all surface contaminants and degrease where necessary using biodegradable degreasing solution. As in normal docking /
slipping practices, residues from cleaning, salt, loose paint and/ or other contaminants should be removed by high-pressure water
cleaning (HPWC) (using clean and fresh water) at 34-70 MPa (5000-10000 psi). Loose coating remaining after HPWC must be
removed by scraping or mechanical sanding. Any bare areas should be mechanically sanded, edges feathered and spot primed
with Epinamel PR250 followed by the originally applied system.
