Nautilus by Arlo, located on beautiful Miami Beach, was dealing with corrosion of the structural steel supporting the AC cooling towers. The hotel was repeatedly re-coating the structure with little success. The engineer was alerted to AMP-UPTM coating systems, powered by the AMP-UPTM 100 Self-Healing Hybrid Epoxy Primer, and decided that it would be the ideal solution to combat the ongoing corrosion problem.
A trial installation area was selected to see how the coating performed over a period. ASTM D3359 Adhesion Tests were completed and once it was determined that the coating was meeting criteria, the rest of the structure was prepared to SP3 and coated in 2 coats of AMP-UPTM 100 Self-Healing Primer and a coat of AMP-UPTM Urethane topcoat.
The AMP-UPTM system provides our clients with a tough, durable coating to stand up to the aggressive environment surrounding the cooling towers. Patented self-healing technology gives the coating system the unique ability to respond to damage without intervention, maximizing adhesion and performance.
