Five phases stand between bare steel and 25+ years of service. Scroll and walk the same journey every Polyflake system takes, from the first inspection to decades in the water.
Corrosion works around the clock on every hull, tank and pipeline on the planet. It doesn't take weekends, and it doesn't care about your maintenance budget. Here's what it has cost the world just since you opened this page:
Every job starts with an engineer, not a sales pitch. We inspect the asset, document the corrosion, the environment and the service conditions, then specify the exact system the steel needs. No guesswork makes it past this phase.
Grit-blast to SA 2.5 with the right anchor profile, soluble salts controlled before a drop of resin comes out. Most premature coating failures are really surface-prep failures. That's why this phase has no shortcuts.
Our own crew applies the system in controlled coats to NACE/SSPC procedures, with verified timing between every layer. Thousands of overlapping glass flakes force water and chemicals into a detour they never finish.
DFT measurement, high-voltage holiday testing and cure checks, documented at hold points until each one passes. The numbers behind the confidence:
In 2008, Disney Magic and Disney Dream were the first ships to carry the Polyglyde® hull system. It worked well enough that both vessels later had it taken across their full hulls and rudders. Applied correctly, our systems protect for 25+ years and are repairable on-site.
01
Our own vinyl ester glass-flake systems. 800+ aggressive fluids, acids to alkalis.
02
Underwater hard-coating, 25+ years in constant seawater. On Disney hulls since 2008.
03
A new pipe cured inside the old one, 2"–24", nothing taken apart. Around 85% cheaper than replacement.
04
Cylinders to 350 bar, pumps back to factory spec. Miami, since 1992.
