Power Plants
Although the service requirements of coating systems are dependent on the type of energy generation method, all power stations have in common that they should be reliable and as little out of service as possible. This fact determines the initial choice for highly durable paint systems aiming at a long service lifetime.
Maintenance not often has to be carried out when the station is in full service or has to be carried out in the time reserved for general maintenance of the whole operation. Exterior esthetical requirements are of minor importance, although perhaps there is one exemption in case of water pipes of hydroelectric power stations where Transurethane Finish is widely used.
