Why choose R3-rated systems?

R3 classification targets environments with moderate salt exposure typical of urban coastal locations. We combine marine-grade primers, anti-corrosive undercoats and polysiloxane or high-build acrylic topcoats to extend cycles between maintenance.

  • ASTM / AS/NZS-compliant surface prep and coatings
  • Rust arrest and galvanic isolation for metal substrates
  • Breathable systems for rendered masonry and fiber cement
