Projects

Castle Hill Water Reservoir Townsville featured a mural depicting Queensland's diverse flora and fauna. Corrosion of the tank and severe fading of the original artwork required removal and repainting, which was carried out faithfully by local artist Garth Jankovic using Dulux Weathermax HBR. The tank was high pressure water cleaned and rusted areas abraded, before it was primed with Zincanode 402 and painted with a couple of coats of Durebild STE MIO for maximum barrier protection. The Durebild STE MIO also provided a great "canvas" for the mural.

Prevailing winds carrying salts and sand particles present a particularly aggressive and corrosive environment.

The City Beach Surf Club Perth is in a corrosive coastal location, and subject to intense UV radiation, corrosive salt laden air and the occasional "sandblast" on windy days. As with all public spaces, protection against graffiti is also important. A high durability high build epoxy intermediate barrier coat and polyurethane topcoat tick all the boxes.

All Victorian motorists and many visitors too know this giant column towering over Melbourne's CityLink toll road. But here's something you might not know: it's painted in its very own Dulux Protective Coatings colour.

In May 2012, The CityLink Red Sticks, part of the Melbourne Gateway, were repainted in Dulux Durebild STE and Weathermax HBR in a special process colour called CityLink Cherry Red. On September 11, 2017, over 5 years after the coating system was applied, the retained colour standard was measured in several areas on the north facing side of the Red Sticks. The largest ΔE value recorded was a mere 2.35. According to AS/NZS 2728:2013 Table 2.4, an "acceptable colour change" over a four year period is a ΔE of 5.0.

The CityLink Vent Stack is protected from car exhausts, acidic airborne pollution and UV radiation with Durebild STE and Weathermax HBR.
