The Baltoflake RangeA choice of tough protection whatever your needsProven technologySince 1979 Baltoflake and 1995 styrene free BaltoflakeEcolife have been leaders in providing the verystrongest protection against the most aggressivechemical, mechanical and environmental attack insome of the most testing and hazardous environments inthe world.The glassflake reinforcement provides enormous strength,presenting a virtually impermeable barrier that keepsmoisture and oxygen blocked. Added to this, Baltoflake’sremarkable adhesion properties have resulted in avirtually maintenance free protective system that will lastfor the lifetime of most structures.Proven successes throughout the world show the highcompetitive power of Baltoflake compared to all otherknown, well proven corrosion protection systems. Proven in the world’s harshestenvironments Enormous strength Virtually impermeable barrierkeeps moisture and oxygenblocked Remarkable adhesion properties Provides a virtually maintenancefree system for the design life ofmost structuresUltimate protectionwhatever man & naturecan throw at themBaltoflakeThe original Baltoflake has more than 20 years’ practicalexperience of providing exceptional protection ofsteel against abrasion and corrosion in the harshestenvironments. Where areas painted with ordinaryadvanced paint stystems have been repainted one orseveral times, Baltoflake is still in service giving theneeded protection. Up to 1500 microns in a single coatcan be applied. Because Baltoflake is fast curing and hasshort overcoating intervals, downtime is minimised. Inthose special cases where the very toughest protection isrequired, Baltoflake is unbeatable.Here’s a typical example of the benefits of Baltoflake’s combinationof speed, high levels of protection and minimum disruption.Offshore platform North Sea.Grit blasted during the night.0500 hrs Netting on, helicopter landed.0700 hrs Netting off, blast cleaning to Sa 2½ continues to completion.1245 hrs Painting commenced.

Baltoflake S2000The latest product in the Baltoflake range of products.Baltoflake S2000 is built on the well proven technologyof specially formulated polyester with unique glassflakereinforcement having built an enviable record ofproviding exceptional protection of steel against abrasionand corrosion in the harshest environments.Baltoflake S2000 gives a smooth and durable surfaceBaltoflake EcolifeStyrene free Baltoflake Ecolife provides all the advantagesof Baltoflake with the added benefit of less odour and areduction in VOC emissions of approximately 60% overa 25 year lifetime when compared with epoxy systems.Baltoflake Ecolife cures even faster than Baltoflake andcan be used down to 5°C. Maximum overcoating time is2 weeks.and can be applied up to 1500 microns in a single coat –one coat and the job is finished.

TheMulticolor Industry tinting systemprovides a wide range of colours,whatever volumes needed, withouttime-consuming in-factory production.

The Baltoflake RangeSaves up to 50% on maintenance costs.Lower investment. Higher return.Because Baltoflake cures quickly, a full protectionsystem can be completed in a single day. The area coatedcan be used within a few hours, meaning less downtimeand substantial cost savings at maintenance. Overall,maintenance costs can show a saving of up to 50%compared with a good epoxy system!Investment in Baltoflake provides a higher return thanlower cost coatings. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis, wheretaking into account all costs incurred over the lifetime ofthe project or construction, also concludes that ‘cheappaint is expensive to maintain.’ Then all cost elements atnew construction stage and each maintenance interval aretaken into consideration, including scaffolding, surfaceProtecting one of theworld’s largest FPSOsIn 1998, the FPSO Schiehallion was built at the yardHarland and Wolff in Ireland. The vessel isoperating at the Schiehallion field locatedin the North Sea, west of Scotland. At thattime the biggest FPSO in the world, being 246 metreslong (dead weight 154,000 tonnes). The design lifeof the vessel was 25 years in operation and the fatiguelife 50 years. A system of 1500 microns Baltoflake waschosen for main deck, heavy wear areas, hull, splashzones and outside bulwark.pre-treatment, transport, application, coating material etc.This means Baltoflake provides you with a higher returnon your corrosion protection investment.COST SAVINGS – MAINTENANCESAVE25%–50%High solids epoxy/polyurethane systemBaltoflakeUltimate protectionwhatever man & naturecan throw at them

BaltoflakeProtecting pipe piles at Malaysian jettyThis jetty built in 1996 by Ethylene(Malaysia) Sdn Bhd was the first, butnot the last one, where Baltoflakewas chosen as the main corrosionprotection system. Conditions in theSouth China Sea, high temperaturesand salt sea water giving the highestcorrosion rate, is a major challenge forprotection of steel in splash zones.Mission impossible…?In 1992, it was due time formaintenance work on the 20 yearsold piles on the GDF (Gaz de FRANCE)NLG Terminal. The challenges wereto remove old coal tar epoxy by blastcleaning, apply the new coating anddo the job during tide level. What othercoating than Baltoflake could havedone the job?First inspection 1994; nothing todeclare. Second inspection 2000;nothing to declare. Last inspectionSeptember 2004; General commentthat everything is in very goodcondition. There is no flaking, noblistering, no cracking. Some rust isevident due to very strong rag effect.However – no repair required.
