Techcoat Services Pty Ltd was conceived in July 1991 when the principal, Mr Carl Montgomery, recognised the need in the specialised coatings market for an organisation which provided customers with tailored solutions to their specific and often unique corrosion problems.

After a long and successful career in the Industrial Protective Coatings Industry where he held senior technical and managerial positions, Mr Montgomery saw that the traditional contracting modus operandi tended to provide standard blanket systems for corrosion prevention/control. Techcoat Services adopts a fresh approach by focusing on the problem from a technical perspective before recommending a custom designed, cost effective solution.

The main objective of Techcoat Services is to provide it’s customers with the independent technical expertise required to solve their corrosion problems. In essence Techcoat Services acts as an extension of the customer to objectively appraise, recommend and carry out required work.

This pro-active approach enables Techcoat Services to fully discuss and clarify all aspects of a job in an open and honest manner prior to costing. This ensures that work undertaken is completed without unnecessary overruns or delays and virtually eliminates extras.

Since it commenced operations Techcoat Services has steadily expanded and has developed into a well respected innovative contracting company which has earned a reputation for solving coating problems where others have failed. In particular they have demonstrated the ability to successfully tackle projects with severe constraints such as highly corrosive chemicals, limited down times and restricted access.

In recent years Techcoat Services has focused on developing systems for some of the most challenging coating problems facing industry and this has led to a range of products offering outstanding resistance to scaling and fouling combined with extreme chemical resistance and high overal durability. The core products are:

• Techplast Antiscale Coatings
• Techplast Antifouling
• Testplast Fastprop
• Techcoat Insitu Electroless Nickel Plating

Accustrip Blasting
Accustrip Blasting using ArmexR ( a sodium bicarbonate based media) is a patented soft grit blasting technique offering the unique benefits of an environmentally friendly, silica and blast residue free process, suitable for use while normal production continues without dismantling or masking items/components. Techcoat Services can complement this revolutionary surface cleaning/preparation method with all forms of coating application.

Abrasion Resistant Coatings
Techcoat Services offer a range of abrasion resistant linings for both dry and immersed applications. These linings include high build polyurethanes and epoxies.

Concrete Repair
Techcoat Services are involved with many aspects of concrete and concrete rebar repair, these repairs include the use of rapid setting epoxies, crack injection epoxies and chemical mortars.

Non-Slip and Seamless Flooring
Techcoat Services offer a wide range of seamless highly durable flooring for food and chemical industries which can be applied with a range of non-slip textures at thicknesses up to and over 8mm.

Waterproofing
Techcoat Services can waterproof buildings (above and below ground level), swimming pools, storage tanks, commercial planter boxes and suspended concrete slabs.

Pipeline Coatings
Techcoat Services can internally and externally coat pipe sections/lines with a variety of systems suitable for exposure to a range of chemicals for use both in a buried and immersed exposure.

Pipeline Repairs
Techcoat Services manufacture SRC Pipeline Repair Compounds. These compounds are used to repair high pressure gas pipelines without the need to shut down the gas flow during repair.

Fibreglass Drains, Sumps and Bunded Areas
Techcoat Services can protect and reconstruct drains, sumps and bunded areas with fibreglass reinforced Combined-Ester Resins. This work can be either completed with minimum downtime or “on the run” working around normal production

Expansion Joints
Techcoat Services can apply sealants to new expansion joints or fully reconstruct degraded expansion joints to a standard higher than that of the original specification.

Fibreglass Fabrication
Techcoat Services can fabricate a wide range of components with both Combined-Ester Resins and epoxy resins for use in a multitude of chemical and heat exposures.

Industrial Blasting and Painting
Techcoat Services specialised equipment and labour enable them to complete all forms of industrial blasting and heavy duty coating application.

Vaqua/Vapour/Slurry Bead Blasting Cleaning

“Vaqua Blasting” also known as “Vapour Blasting” or “Slurry Bead Blasting” is abrasive blast cleaning using a slurry of glass beads, water, degreaser, corrosion inhibitors all accelerated with compressed air. This is a system used as a superior alternative to dry glass bead blast cleaning, with it offering degreasing, cleaning, and protection of delicate and polished surfaces.

Slurry Blast Cleaning is used on aluminium components, offering an outstanding finish to both new and old motor vehicle engine parts. The gentle nature of the process insures that valve seats, bearing housings and cylinder bores are not damaged in anyway. The in built degreaser greatly facilitates the cleaning of beads from threads and oil ways with reassembly accomplished far easier than following dry bead blast cleaning.

Techcoat Manufacturing (a division of Techcoat Services Pty. Ltd.) manufactures and distributes a superior “Safety Yellow” range of Stair Nosings and Ladder Rung Covers. These products are based on highly durable “Fused Alumina” with the Ladder Rung Covers constructed from a preblasted, ready for adhesive aluminium substrate (rather than Galvanized Steel).

Stair Nosings come in 5 standard sizes all 50mm wide and lengths of 580mm, 730mm, 880mm, 1030, & 1180mm. Ladder Rung Covers are manufactured to suit 20mm, 25mm, 30mm & 35mm diameter ladder rungs and are cut to length required.

			Techcoat nosings
	Nosings based on Silicone Carbide	Nosings based on Sand, Quartz or other silica based grits	Nosings based on Fused Alumina
Colour and general appearance	A base coat of yellow speckled with black grit	Generally an even yellow colour	An even yellow colour
Non-slip grit hardness	Moh hardness of 9-9.5	Moh hardness of 7-7.5	Moh hardness of 9-9.5
Non-slip grit shape	Man made grit, sharp edges	Mined grit, more rounded edges	Man made grit, sharp edges
Non-slip grit durability	Highly durable	Fair durability	Highly durable
Advantages	A highly durable non-slip finish	Cheaper than either Silicone Carbide or Fused Alumina Nosings.	A highly durable non-slip finish that is a solid safety yellow colour and will retain its contrasting colour longer under conditions of heavy fouling
Disadvantages	A Nosing that is not uniformly yellow and as dirt collects in between the grit becomes even less yellow.	A Nosing of reduced initial non-slip properties and one that then deteriorates faster than either Silicone Carbide or Fused Alumina Nosings.	None

The core product of the coating range is Techplast 502 and this can be used in most applications up to 115 degrees Celsius and is unaffected by all concentrations of caustic liquors and periodic caustic washing. Other products are being developed for use up to 150 degrees Celsius and one version has been tested at over 200 degrees Celsius.

This entire product range has an extremely low “Surface Free Energy” with results in the applied coating resisting the adherence of scale and being inert in caustic liquors, this low Surface Fee energy is maintained over a number of years.

Our clients have informed us that in case studies the coating has a pay back period of 12-18 months and an effective life of 4-6 years.

The coatings are being trialed throughout Australia and in many different areas in refineries, these areas include:

• Thickener Tanks
• Washer Tanks
• Pipeline Spools/manifolds
• Precipitation Tanks
• Sand Classifiers
• Feed Wells
• Launders Cyclones
• Flash Tanks
• Digesters
• Slurry Tanks
• Rakes

After 10 years of development and 8 years of trials, Techcoat Services is ready to fully commercialise this product range. It will be applied by fully trained and licensed applicators, each applicator license will cover a specific refinery site, involve full product training, application and mixing equipment and entitle the applicator to exclusive onsite application at that refinery site

Techcoat Services extensive work in the resistance of scale adherence has enabled Techcoat Services to develop Techplast Antifoul and this has led to the development of Techplast Fastprop.

Techplast Fastprop is a new and innovative non-toxic, non-leaching, non-ablative coating intended for the application to marine propellers.

This coating works on the principal of low Surface Free Energy combined with an extremely high cross link density coating resulting in a uniform, hard, smooth coating that resists fouling and is not consumed.

Surface Free Energy is determined by measuring the “critical surface tension”, a product with low critical surface tension has a low surface free energy.

Techplast Fastprop is based on a modified converted 2 pack epoxy and results in a coating that is more durable than that of single pack silicone coatings.

Techcoat Service’s is ready to commercialise this product and it will be applied by fully trained and licensed applicators. Each license will cover a specific geographic area, involve full product training, application and mixing equipment and entitle the applicator to exclusive application within that geographic region.
