Projects

Industrial estates demand as much aesthetic creativity as residential and commercial developments and public spaces, as workers spend a significant amount of time commuting to, and working in, these industrial environments. Colour, therefore, plays an important role, as do durability, corrosion resistance and protection against defacement by graffiti in the choice of a protective coating system. The system chosen for the Merrifield Industrial Estate Entrance Wall is Dulux Duremax GPE ZP and Weathermax HBR.

These steel and timber shades were erected in the Mildura Town's beautiful parkland. The steel sections are adequately protected in Mildura's warm, dry and relatively low corrosivity environment with Metalshield HB ZP primer (a zinc phosphate single pack primer) and Ferrodor 810 single pack micaceous iron oxide enamel topcoat.

The Monash Public Transport Interchange located on Wellington Road, Clayton, features 21 striking bus shelters for the comfort of university commuters. The steelwork is protected with Zincanode 402 zinc rich epoxy primer, Duremax GPE MIO high build epoxy barrier coat and topcoated with Weathermax HBR two pack polyurethane. Graffiti can be readily removed from surfaces painted with Weathermax HBR using propriety graffiti removing agents. The structures were painted in shop and touched up on site using Weathermax HBR. Feedback about the ease of use of Weathemax HBR and the ability to successfully touch up minor imperfections after erection were noted.

At Mt Coot-Tha lookout, Dulux PC worked with the asset manager to solve multiple challenges with one product range. Our Duration products provided low-odour application, fast return to service and excellent durability.

Prevailing winds carrying dust and salt particles present an aggressive and corrosive environment.

Munro Martin Park Cairns features massive steel pergolas which are protected from corrosion by a zinc-rich primer and a high build barrier coating. A polyurethane topcoat was added to give long term UV protection and graffiti resistance.
