Dura-Plate® SW-501 Series
An advanced solvent-free epoxy technology for extreme offshore service
Based on a technology platform with over 20 years of proven track record protecting offshore wind, inland waterways and sheet-piling assets, the Dura-Plate SW-501 range of products has evolved to set a new bar in modern performance and emissions requirements.
The Dura-Plate SW-501 range serves a widening landscape of pre-qualification and design requirements for corrosion protection of offshore assets. Dura-Plate SW-501, Dura-Plate SW-501 GF and Dura-Plate SW-501 GF20 share the same chemistry backbone, proved over decades in service, with variable levels of lamellar glass flake adapting to specific project requirements. The same level of user-friendly application and finish quality is a hallmark feature of the entire range.
