Our background coupled with our extensive knowledge of polyurea and polyurethane technology enables us to provide expert tailoring of our coating services to our clients' needs. Pioneering the application of polyurea and polyurethane coating from our base in South Wales, we are helping to change the face of marine, industrial, commercial and domestic coating in the UK. We have strong connections with the world's leading experts in our field and close professional relationships with specialists in the various industries in which we work. We deliver a first-class service and bespoke solutions to meet our clients' needs and exceed expectations.

AV COATINGS: MARINE We work in the marine sector to enhance the life-span and safety of our customers' assets and infrastructure in a way that is cost-effective, environmentally friendly and lasting. The durability and versatility of our coatings make them superior alternatives to traditional materials such as vinyl, fibreglass, epoxy and paint. Their solvent-free composition also ensures that our coatings cause no harm to marine life. Our rapid application processes and cure times (a matter of seconds) result in minimal operational downtime.

THE AV COATINGS ADVANTAGE - Extensive engineering knowledge - Rigorous quality control - Unique global contacts and professional links with industry experts - Second-to-none expertise - On-site and mobile capabilities - Wide geographical reach - Entirely bespoke service - Unwavering commitment to quality POLYUREA & POLYURETHANE Polyurea and polyurethane technology provides the ultimate coating solution, owing to its superior durability, flexibility and versatility. Applied in liquid form using high-pressure, non-aerosol spray apparatus, and curing to the touch within seconds, they form an almost impenetrable membrane.

- Extremely durable - Rapid return to service - No CFCs, VOCs or other solvents - Wide range of applications - No hotworks permit required

VESSEL PROTECTION AV Coatings offers mobile and on-site services and will travel anywhere. Your coated vessels and equipment will be fit to withstand any weather conditions, ranging from extreme heat to blistering cold, and will be protected from freeze-thaw effects and thermal shock.

Our coatings have many uses in vessel protection. We offer specifically developed and purposetested coatings for hull reinforcement, decking protection and many other applications.

Decking We offer a specifically designed coating which reduces slippage, prevents leakage and provides a cool surface on which to walk. With a textured finish, our decking coating provides a non-slip surface. Available in any colour and UV light resistant, it will retain its aesthetic qualities for many years. Its fire retardant properties render it a safer alternative to wooden decking, carpet and painted surfaces.

Hull Reinforcement Hulls can undergo severe impact and abrasion stresses and harmful corrosion. Commissioned by a national lifeboat charity, we subjected all of our products to rigorous testing. Our final product offers robust protection from impact and abrasion wear, chemical corrosion, salt and fresh-water corrosion and microbial growth. Forming a monolithic membrane, it provides a watertight coat, eliminating the potential for seam leaks. Our coating will not peel, flake or chip and, due to its elastomeric qualities, is very resilient upon impact and will not crack like harder coatings.

SECONDARY CONTAINMENT Our specifically developed coatings dramatically reduce the risk of hazardous leakages from secondary containment facilities. Forming a durable, impermeable and chemical-resistant membrane, our coatings are proven to prevent corrosion of steel and concrete tanks, thereby preventing leakages and reducing the risk of environmental contamination.

Containing no solvents, CFCs or VOCs, your secondary containment facilities will be protected with a 100% ecofriendly coating.

Our coatings are chemically resistant to jet fuel, wastewater, salt brine, sulphide gas, acid solutions, strong alkaline solutions and many solvents, and our application processes are designed for application in volatile environments. They are ideal for application in the oil, chemical, nuclear and water treatment industries and can be applied on-site. This, coupled with a rapid cure time, ensures minimal disruption to operations.

OFFSHORE AV Coatings can help to extend the life-span of assets and structures that spend their operational life-times at sea, protecting them from harsh marine conditions.

AV Coatings' polyurea and polyurethane coatings help to reduce maintenance and repair costs. After coating, you can rest assured that underwater or exposed assets are protected from the most extreme damage. No hot-works permit is required as we only use spray apparatus which poses no harm in sensitive environments such as oil rigs. They are also fire-retardant and have an NSF/ANSI Standard 61 potable water rating. Our coatings' resistance to freeze-thaw effects make them ideal for remote offshore sites.

STRUCTURAL PROTECTION AND RESTORATION Salt-water corrosion, microbial growth and mechanical stresses all serve to damage and dramatically shorten the service life of piers and other marine structures.

Our coatings area ideal for the fortification of: - Piers - Oil rigs - Ship structures - Dock structures

AV Coatings provides the ultimate protective solution with our polyurea/polyurethane coatings, especially formulated for the fortification and protection of galvanised steel. Our coatings are proven to protect from salt-water corrosion, chemical attack, biological growth (due to their anti-fouling properties) and impact stresses. They also provide cosmetic enhancement to steel structures, and are available in any colour. What's more, they are 100% ecologically friendly, containing no CFCs, VOCs or other solvents.

Client case study

We are currently working on the coating of Mumbles pier as part of a large-scale restoration and redevelopment of the Mumbles seafront. Here, our product is ensuring that the pier is resistant to rusting by seawater salts and protecting its supports from tidal wear and abrasion, strengthening the pier for years to come.
