4. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protection System

4.1. Technical Specification

To counteract saltwater-induced corrosion during maritime transit—particularly critical in RO-RO and Bulk Cargo methods—SEA LION International mandates the application of industrial-grade wax-based anti-corrosion treatment prior to shipment.

• Product Type: Solvent-based synthetic wax emulsion (e.g., Dinitrol AVA 30, Waxoyl CR14)
• Application Method: High-pressure spray (minimum 35 bar) to undercarriage, chassis rails, wheel wells, and suspension components
• Coating Thickness: 30–50 µm (measured via magnetic gauge)
• Coverage Areas:
• Chassis frame and crossmembers
• Brake lines, fuel tanks, exhaust systems
• Suspension arms and pivot points
• Wheel hubs and brake assemblies

4.2. Performance Benefits

• Forms hydrophobic barrier against chloride ion penetration
• Self-healing properties under minor abrasion
• Resists wash-off during port handling and rain exposure
• Compatible with post-arrival degreasing protocols (alkaline or citrus-based)

4.3. Application Workflow

1. Pre-treatment: High-pressure wash and degrease
2. Drying: Forced-air drying (minimum 2 hours at 25°C)
3. Wax spray: Full underbody coverage using robotic or manual applicators
4. Inspection: Coating thickness and continuity verified per ASTM D4541
5. Documentation: Certificate of Protection issued per unit

Note: Wax treatment is strongly recommended for RO-RO and Bulk Cargo. For Flat Rack units, waxing is mandatory due to prolonged exposure.

---

5. Recommended Deployment Strategy

Use Case	Recommended Method	Rationale
Operational trucks, standard dimensions	RO-RO + Wax Spray	Cost-effective, rapid loading, reduced handling damage
Non-operational or damaged units	Flat Rack	Enables secure transport without self-mobility
Oversized or modified trucks	Flat Rack	Accommodates height/width beyond standard limits
High-volume, low-budget consignments	Bulk Cargo (with strict waxing & lashing)	Only advised with full corrosion protection and insurance hedging

---

6. Compliance & Certification

All export shipments must adhere to the following standards:
– IMO CSS Code – Cargo Securing Manual compliance
– IMSBC Code – For bulk vessel loading (when applicable)
– CTU Code – Containerized Transport Unit guidelines (Flat Rack)
– National Vehicle Import Regulations – Destination-specific (e.g., GCC, EPA equivalency)

SEA LION International provides full Cargo Inspection & Pre-shipment Certification (PSC) services, including:
– Dimensional verification
– Functionality assessment
– Corrosion protection audit
– Lashing plan validation

---

7. Conclusion

For the export of used trucks from Sacramento via Chinese transshipment hubs, RO-RO shipping with industrial wax spraying offers the optimal balance of cost and operational efficiency for functional units. Flat Rack containers are superior for non-standard or inoperable equipment, providing enhanced protection when combined with full underbody wax encapsulation. Bulk Cargo is discouraged except for budget-constrained operations with full risk mitigation protocols.

SEA LION International recommends integrating automated wax-spray systems at consolidation yards in California or upon arrival in Chinese staging zones to ensure consistent, auditable corrosion protection across all shipment types.
