The range.
Every product is a two-pack kit — Part A and Part B, Australian made, supplied direct. Six products, one system — from the first coat down on blast-cleaned steel to the colour that faces the weather. Your number and lead time are confirmed on your volumes, before you commit to anything.
Zinc Core 685
Zinc-rich epoxy primer — the first coat down on blast-cleaned steel.
MIO Core 516
High-build MIO epoxy — the barrier coat in the middle of the system.
Thane Core 750
Two-pack polyurethane topcoat — gloss and colour that hold outdoors.
Epoxy Core 519
Surface-tolerant high-solids epoxy for less-than-perfect prep.
Fluor Core 890
Premium fluoropolymer topcoat for long-life, high-exposure assets.
Direct Core 570
One-coat direct-to-metal polyurethane for equipment and fast turnaround.
We are the only supplier in this market that sells to steel fabricators and no one else.
Every coating rep who calls you is also looking after marine, mining, architectural and retail. That is how the majors are built, and it is not going to change — breadth is the business model. It means your shop is one line in a territory. Steel fabricators are the only people we supply, so yours is the only set of problems we have ever had to learn.
The person who answers is the person who decides.
Price, credit, a technical answer on a Friday afternoon — none of it travels up a line and comes back next week. You can test that in a single phone call, which is more than can be said for most of what a supplier tells you.
- Structural steel only
- AS/NZS 2312
- Australian made
- Trade supply only
Every state. Every capital. The yards in between.
Orders leave on a pallet and land at your shop — Sydney to Perth, Darwin to Hobart, and the regional towns most reps never visit. Wherever your steel is coated, we supply it there.
Three groups of problems.
Service, compliance, cost. None of this will be news to you. It is written down here so you can see we already know it.
Service & support
You are one customer in a territory, and the rep is a messenger rather than a decision-maker. Price, credit or a technical answer all travel back to someone else and return days later.
Read moreCompliance
Failed inspections and the rework behind them — adhesion failure, flash rust, slow cure. And switching feels like re-qualification risk, so the price goes unchallenged for years.
Read moreCost
Trade pricing sits behind an account application, so you cannot get a number without becoming a customer first. Rises arrive unannounced, and you buy a drum at a time, so nobody ever adds up the year.
Read moreEvery other supplier sells to everyone.
Marine, mining, architectural, retail and structural steel, all out of the one catalogue and the one territory. Those trades do not share a specification, a certifier, or a way of failing. Steel headed for a coastal industrial site is judged against AS/NZS 2312, by people looking for different things to anyone inspecting a tank lining. We only supply structural steel fabricators, so there was only ever one trade's problems to learn.
You'll get a price. You just won't have to become a customer to see it.
Everywhere else, trade pricing sits behind an account application — a form, a credit check, a wait on a rep's diary. We do it the other way round. Tell us what you coat and how much of it, and your number comes back quickly. We don't publish one, because your price is built on your volumes — and a figure printed on a website isn't yours.
Worried about switching? Before you order anything, you get a written like-for-like comparison against whatever you're on.
Seven questions about how you coat steel today.
You get a read back on screen the moment you finish — your environment class, your spec position, and the questions your own answers raise. Then a call, in business hours, within the hour.
