|---|---|
| Product Type | Solvent-based, waxy corrosion inhibitor with VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (15–20 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, hydraulic rams, boom joints, track links, exposed steel |
| Film Thickness | 50–75 µm (dry) |
| Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) | >500 hours |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable solvent wash or steam cleaning |
| Shelf Life (pre-treatment) | 90 days (indoors) |
Compliance: Meets ISO 9227 (Corrosion tests in artificial atmospheres) and MIL-PRF-16173E (Grade 2)
3.3. Application Protocol
- Pre-cleaning: Degrease and dry all metal surfaces.
- Mask sensitive areas (e.g., tires, sensors, air intakes).
- Apply wax spray in cross-hatch pattern; ensure full coverage.
- Allow 2-hour cure before loading.
- Reapply if storage >7 days pre-shipment.
4. Recommended Transport Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet export (10+ units) | RO-RO | Cost-effective, faster turnaround, minimal handling damage |
| Remote destination (no RO-RO port) | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, compatible with container logistics |
| Budget-constrained project | Bulk Cargo (with caveats) | Lowest cost; must include wax protection and strict lashing protocols |
| High-value or precision models | Flat Rack + Wax Spray | Optimal protection for sensitive hydraulics and electronics |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct IEC/ISO-compliant inspection prior to loading.
- Lashing & Securing: Use ISO 1496-compliant twist locks and lashing bars (min. 4-point tie-down for Flat Rack).
- Desiccant Use: Place silica gel bags (min. 2 kg/unit) in enclosed cabs and engine compartments.
- Documentation: Provide CMR, Bill of Lading, Packing List, and Certificate of Conformity (CE/GB).
6. Conclusion
For excavator loader exports from China, Flat Rack shipping with wax-based corrosion protection offers the highest integrity for equipment longevity and performance upon delivery. While RO-RO provides operational efficiency for large fleets, Flat Rack is superior in environmental protection and damage mitigation. Bulk cargo is viable only under strict risk controls and should be avoided for high-utilization machinery.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax spraying as a standard pre-shipment process across all transport modes to ensure compliance with international durability standards and reduce post-delivery maintenance costs.
