- Coating Thickness: 50–70 µm (measured via magnetic gauge)
- Drying Time: 4–6 hours at 25°C ambient
- Performance Standard: 1,000-hour salt spray resistance (ASTM B117)
Note: Wax film remains intact for up to 60 days at sea. Post-discharge removal via biodegradable solvent wash is recommended prior to commissioning.
5. Method Recommendation Matrix
| Use Case | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Exporting 50+ units to Middle East | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, lower handling risk, cost-effective at scale |
| Mixed shipment with excavators, loaders | Bulk Cargo | Maximizes vessel utilization; lower cost if crane available |
| Oversized dump trucks (>2.6m width) | Flat Rack | Only viable method for non-standard dimensions |
| High-humidity routes (Southeast Asia, West Africa) | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Superior environmental protection |
6. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must include:
– Certificate of Conformity (Euro 3 Emission Standard)
– Bill of Lading (B/L) with Incoterms 2020 (FOB Shanghai recommended)
– CT-PAT / C-TPAT certification (for US-bound units)
