The air in the marine environment contains high concentrations of salt, and salt spray is extremely corrosive to metals and other materials. Ships, offshore platforms, dock facilities, etc. are exposed to this environment for a long time and are prone to serious corrosion. With its excellent salt spray resistance, epoxy resin paint has become the preferred anti-corrosion coating for facilities such as ship hulls, dock steel structures, and offshore platforms.

Epoxy resin coating is mainly divided into three stages: surface drying, hardening and complete drying: 1. Tack-free usually takes 2-4 hours. 2. Cured Dry generally requires 24-48 hours of curing time. 3. Fully Cured usually takes 7 days or more.

When it comes to abrasion resistance, epoxy is far superior to regular concrete coatings. Due to its extremely high hardness, epoxy resin can withstand frequent mechanical friction and the pressure of heavy loads, and is particularly suitable for use in industrial sites, garages and other places that need to withstand heavy equipment or frequent access by vehicles.

Common metal protective coatings are: 1. Electroplating coating (galvanizing/nickel plating/chrome plating), 2. Thermal spray coating (aluminum thermal spraying/alloy thermal spraying), 3. Paint coating (epoxy resin coating/polyurethane coating/fluorocarbon coating).
