Note: Flat Rack offers superior control over securing and environmental protection, critical for precision drill components.
4. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Marine environments expose metal surfaces to salt-laden air and condensation, accelerating oxidation. To mitigate corrosion during transit (typically 4–6 weeks), SEA LION International recommends a multi-stage wax-based protection system:
4.1 Wax Spraying Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic corrosion-inhibiting compound (e.g., Cosmoline-type or Lanolin-derived) |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (20–30 bar) with full coverage |
| Coverage Areas | All exposed steel surfaces, hinge joints, hydraulic cylinder rods, drill bit threads |
| Film Thickness | 50–75 µm (dry film) |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours (ambient 25°C) |
| Removability | Biodegradable solvents or hot alkaline wash (pH 9–11) |
4.2 Application Workflow
- Pre-treatment: Degrease and dry all surfaces; remove machining residues.
- Spraying: Apply wax using automated boom or handheld HVLP system.
- Secondary Protection: Wrap critical zones (e.g., bit housing) with VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) paper.
- Final Sealing: Shrink-wrap entire unit or enclose in breathable polyethylene if containerized.
Compliance: Meets ISO 9227 (salt spray testing) and MIL-PRF-16173E (preservation class 3).
5. Recommended Logistics Strategy
For excavator drill attachments exported from China, Flat Rack containerization combined with wax spraying is the optimal solution due to:
- Structural integrity during handling
- Compatibility with anti-corrosion treatments
- Visibility and inspection access
- Reduced insurance claims from moisture damage
RO-RO may be considered for cost-sensitive, high-volume shipments where units are mobile or easily towed, but requires additional protective wrapping.
Bulk Cargo is not recommended due to unacceptable risk of corrosion and impact damage.
6. Conclusion
Fleet managers and construction logistics teams should prioritize Flat Rack shipping with industrial wax preservation to ensure drill attachments arrive in operational condition. This method supports stringent OEM quality standards, reduces field rework, and enhances equipment lifespan. SEA LION International implements this protocol across all export consignments from Chinese manufacturing partners.
