Projects

The Melbourne Icehouse has three notable areas that required protective coatings: The exterior features a bright metallic blue band that breaks up the white facade. The blue is Quantum FX bright metallic polyurethane, sealed with Quantum Clearcoat to highlight the metallic lustre and protect against graffiti. The Henke Rink includes exposed steelwork and compressed particle board ceiling panels. The steelwork was protected against the highly corrosive moist, cold environment with Zincanode 402 zinc rich primer, Duremax GPE intermediate barrier coat and Luxathane R two pack polyurethane for aesthetics and protection. The ceiling was painted in Dulux Professional Total Prep and Industrial Aluminium.

The Rod Laver Arena required a massive rigging truss in a black satin polyurethane that would recede into the background and be abrasion resistant. Luxathane SPX satin polyurethane fulfilled the brief perfectly.

The Geelong Football Club's home stadium, Skilled Stadium, is protected against defacement by graffiti with Surfaceshield HD, an invisible surface treatment that prevents the penetration of graffiti, allowing the graffiti to be removed with moderate pressure hot water wash and graffiti removal agents.

For the externals, Durebild STE and Weathermax HBR, both with the addition of MIO, enabled cost effective application with rope access. Durebild STE in White provided protection and a bright refresh for the internals. Powerful anti-corrosion protection combined with a smooth gloss finish for these giant poles.

The Sydney Olympics Memories Poles were erected for the Sydney Olympics to honour our past sporting heroes, particularly those with indigenous ties. The poles with are blast cleaned steel poles protected with Zincanode 402 zinc rich primer, Duremax GPE intermediate barrier coat and Quantum FX bright metallic polyurethane, sealed with Quantum Clearcoat to highlight the metallic lustre and protect against graffiti and ensure the Olympic memories stay with us for a long time.

The Victoria Park Grandstand refurbishment required a simple and practical coating system that would offer good protection of steelwork in a sheltered and mild environment. Luxaprime ZP is a single pack primer formulated with zinc phosphate for corrosion protection. The topcoat used was Metalshield Premium, a single pack silicone enamel that offers superior gloss retention than conventional single pack enmels.
