- Application Method: High-pressure spray (150–200 psi)
- Coverage Areas: Undercarriage, frame rails, suspension components, wheel hubs, exhaust systems
- Coating Thickness: 50–75 microns (measured via DFT gauge)
- Drying Time: 2–4 hours (ambient 25°C)
- Performance: Provides 6–12 months of protection in marine conditions
Note: Wax treatment is non-removable at destination without chemical stripping. Clients should factor in post-delivery cleaning or repaint prep.
4. Operational Recommendations
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet of 20+ operational trucks to Nigeria | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid loading, minimal handling damage |
| Damaged or non-running units to Philippines | Bulk Cargo | Lower cost; suitable for salvage-grade units |
| Oversized dump trucks to Indonesia | Flat Rack | Accommodates width/height beyond standard limits |
| High-value, low-volume units to Chile | Flat Rack + Wax + Tarping | Maximum protection and control |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments from Chinese ports must comply with:
– IMSBC Code (for Bulk Cargo)
