Melbourne Icehouse, VIC

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 a highly corrosive, moist and cold environment using Zincanode 402 zinc‑rich primer, Duremax GPE barrier coat, and a Luxathane® R two‑pack polyurethane topcoat, now superseded by Luxathane® HPX. The ceiling was painted in Dulux Professional Total Prep and Industrial Aluminium.
