Automotive, Defense, and Nuclear Special Coatings
Explosion Protection, Decontamination, and Wear Resistance Specialty Coatings
Polyurea special coatings for defense, nuclear, and automotive sectors requiring explosion protection, radioactive waste containment, and abrasion resistance.
Why do specialized industries require dedicated coatings?
Because conditions such as explosion-proof, seismic, and chemical resistance are required, which general coatings cannot address.
Defense, nuclear power, energy generation, and marine facilities are exposed to environments that general architectural coatings cannot withstand, such as explosions, ballistic impacts, seawater and salinity, radioactive materials, and high-concentration chemicals. HIGHCOATIC provides specialized industrial coating solutions for five sectors—Marine/Shipbuilding, Construction/Infrastructure, Defense, Power Generation, and Life—tailored to these conditions.
How are they applied across the five specialized industrial sectors?
The application effects vary across the Marine/Shipbuilding, Construction/Infrastructure, Defense, Power Generation, and Life sectors.
Marine/Shipbuilding Industry
- Anti-abrasion coating against corrosion, impact, and erosion caused by seawater on ship interiors and exteriors (optimized for seawater corrosion resistance)
- Solutions for marine organism adhesion (anti-fouling coatings)
- Anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coating for marine structures (bridges, mooring facilities, etc.) against seawater and marine organisms
- Ultra-fast curing products enable immediate service resumption after application, shortening construction periods and reducing costs
- Provides the longest warranty period due to superior adhesion and defense performance against seawater compared to paints and other coating materials
Construction/Infrastructure Industry
- Provides structural protection systems for roads, railways, bridges, and other structures subject to severe vibration or impact, thanks to high elongation and tensile strength
- Collapse prevention solutions for buildings due to earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters (strengthening the structure of facilities)
- Special coating solutions to prevent carbonation (neutralization) of concrete
- Applied for waterproofing buildings and facilities such as swimming pools and water parks, with stronger waterproofing performance than FRP
- Special solutions for moisture, which significantly impacts construction, shortening concrete curing periods and enabling work during rainy seasons
- Applicable as high-performance flooring compared to epoxy and urethane floorings (longest warranty period)
Defense Industry
- Possesses products dedicated to military facilities (passed US explosion-proof certification TEST)
- Special coatings for impact protection against explosions and ballistic impacts (bulletproof vests, ammunition depots, military boots, etc.)
- High tensile strength and high-performance anti-abrasion products are applied as special protective coatings for armored vehicles, aircraft exteriors, military facilities, etc.
- Application of specially designed high-strength flooring for airport and military facility floors
- Applied to chemical-resistant facilities (pipes, components, etc.) in the defense industry
Power Generation Industry
- HIGHCOATIC's products are currently applied in nuclear power plants overseas, including in the US, Europe, and Japan
- Anti-corrosion and protective coating for the interior and exterior of piping in the tertiary system of nuclear power plants
- Containment coating for radioactive waste treatment facilities
- Provides solutions for preventing marine organism adhesion and corrosion in cooling towers, waterways, etc.
- Our products are currently being applied by Framatome, a global nuclear power plant company
Life Industry
- Special fabric coating for membrane structures (saving time and cost compared to existing Teflon and PE coatings)
- Flame-retardant coating for wooden houses and fire-risk facilities
- Durability-enhancing coating for camping gear and outdoor sports equipment
- Thermal insulation for buildings (achieving over 3 degrees Celsius of insulation and heat shielding effect compared to external temperature with just the coating)
- Anti-corrosion coating for vehicle undercarriages, bedliners, truck beds, container exteriors, etc.
- All other products requiring waterproofing, strength, and durability
Which products are applied in each sector?
Special primers, structural linings, and anti-corrosion/rust-preventive products are selected based on site conditions.
| Sector | Applied Products |
|---|---|
| Marine/Shipbuilding Industry | Special primers, chemical-resistant functional products, high-hardness and tensile strength specialized products, etc. |
| Construction/Infrastructure Industry | Structural lining products, high-strength, high-elongation, weather-resistant, concrete-specific primers, and many other products |
| Defense Industry | High-performance products with excellent tensile strength and elongation, chemical-resistant products applied |
| Power Generation Industry | Anti-corrosion, rust-preventive, high-performance waterproofing products applied |
| Life Industry | Consultation based on application environment and purpose |

What are the differences between SIPP, CIPP, and PVC lining methods?
CIPP is a cured-in-place method for large pipes, SIPP is a spray-in-place method for small pipes, and PVC lining involves adhering an internal sheet. While most companies specialize in only one rehabilitation method, HIGHCOATIC can handle all three, allowing us to select the optimal method tailored to specific site conditions.
What is polyurea?
It is an elastic coating material developed by Texaco in the early 1980s in the United States. It boasts an elongation of over 400%, concrete adhesion of over 3.0 N/mm², and heat resistance of 120°C for gases and 85°C for liquids. It is widely used for waterproofing, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and corrosion protection.
Do you hold environmental certifications?
All products have received eco-friendly certification for use in drinking water and food facilities. They contain 0% volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and have completed certification for use in drinking water and food facilities from relevant authorities in the US, Singapore, Canada, China, and other countries. Additionally, they hold ASTM E84 Class 1 flame spread certification.
What is HIGHCOATIC's relationship with NUKOTE?
HIGHCOATIC is the exclusive distributor of NUKOTE in South Korea. NUKOTE is an industrial protective coating manufacturer headquartered in Texas, USA, supplying over 140 countries worldwide and boasting a product lineup of over 80 types.
