Underwater Coating for Pipelines
Reliable Epoxy Protection for Submerged Assets
Underwater Coating for Pipelines Solutions
When marine pipelines face constant moisture, salt exposure, and bio-corrosion threats, conventional coatings fall short. ZDSpoxy offers a specialized epoxy coating system engineered to bond directly to wet or submerged surfaces, forming a tough, impermeable barrier against harsh marine environments.
- No middlemen
- Fast prototyping
- Private label available
Challenges Faced in Underwater Coating
- 🌊 Constant moisture undermines adhesion of traditional coatings
- ⚙️ Saltwater corrosion leads to premature failure of pipeline infrastructure
- 🧪 Chemical exposure in industrial outflows degrades standard paints
- 🛠️ Downtime restrictions often make dry-surface prep impossible
ZDSpoxy Solution: ZDS2186AB
Our proprietary ZDS2186AB Underwater Epoxy Coating is purpose-built for submerged application:
