Fortunately, the national team at Dulux Protective Coatings is here to help you extend the life of assets and reduce maintenance costs. Our technical experts are located all over Australia and New Zealand, offering advice and support that is tailored to your project.
From mine sites to marine and coastal environments to major transport infrastructure, here's how we can help you deliver the right coatings solution:
Tailored specifications
Dulux PC’s national team of coatings specialists are specification experts. To provide robust protection for your asset, they will tailor a specification that takes into account:
- The environment: is it in a harsh coastal setting, located fully or partially under water, or subject to corrosion, chemicals or UV exposure?
- The substrate: how old is the substrate and what condition is it in?
- The location, industry and use: is the asset in a setting where graffiti protection or low VOC is important?Is it a commercial or industrial asset that needs to be returned to service quickly?
- The desired finish: do you require a particular colour or a high gloss or matt finish?
“Clients value our ability to tailor systems to their unique environments, which can include extreme temperatures, high UV ratings and chemical exposure,” says Dulux PC NSW Business Development Executive Adam Hockey.
Check out these recent examples of our tailored specifications:
- See how our specification is protecting critical infrastructure from highly corrosive magnesium dust at the Queensland Magnesia (QMAG) mine.
- This low VOC specification was perfect for a busy retail setting in Toowoomba.

Expert application support
Dulux PC’s coatings experts take a hands-on approach to every coatings system.
“We’re often on site, providing surface preparation and application advice. We support applicators to achieve the high standards of asset protection that owners expect,” explains Adam.
“We also work closely with applicators to deliver the right product quantities on time and in full, ensuring project timelines are met.”
Our Australian manufacturing facilities proved particularly valuable during COVID-19, enabling us to continue supplying products to tight project timelines.
Here are some great examples of Dulux PC's proactive application support:
- See how our team provided technical application support to repaint four steel tanks storing diesel and lubricant.
- Coated in Tasmania but constructed in NSW, the steel bridges at Sydney's Rozelle Interchange required a four-product system and application advice to ensure a smooth interstate collaboration.
- To manage Melbourne's wintery conditions, our application advice informed the successful upgrade of a much-loved bridge.
Vast product range
From single pack primers and topcoats to fluoropolymers, floor coatings, high performance epoxies and micaceous oxide (MIO) coatings, our world class technologies can protect practically any asset.
