Industrial projects relate to non-architectural items and materials. Examples can be furniture, aftermarket automotive equipment, electrical switchboards, lighting, gym equipment and signage.
It is important to define your project correctly to ensure the most suitable product is selected. To help in this process we utilise:
1. Industry standards for powder coatings
2. Environmental condition utilising AS4312 as a guide
Use the following table which references AS2312.1, SNZTS 3404 and ISO 9223 to identify the environment, conditions and atmospheric corrosivity categories
Use the following table which references AS2312.1, SNZTS 3404 and ISO 9223 to identify the environment, conditions and atmospheric corrosivity categories
1. Geothermal environments greater than 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source with a pH between 5 and 9. For pH outside this consult Dulux.
2. Geothermal hot spots within 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source.
3. All offshore islands including Waiheke Island, Stewart Island, Fraser Island and Pacific islands eg PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Noumea
4. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium and Carbon (Mild) Steel are determined by the following standards:
SNZ TS 3404 – Standards NZ Technical Specification – Durability requirements for steel structures & components
AS 2312.1 – Guide to the protection of structural steel against atmospheric corrosion by the use of protective coatings. Part 1: Paint coatings
ISO 9223 – Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
5. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium are determined by the following standard:
ISO 9223 – Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
