The Challenge

Located directly on the Massachusetts coast, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution operates in a demanding marine environment where steel structures are continuously exposed to salt air, moisture, and changing weather conditions. These conditions required a durable coating system capable of providing long-term corrosion protection while maintaining a high-quality appearance.

Why Wasser

Wasser’s moisture-cured urethane technology was selected for its proven performance in aggressive marine environments. The system provides strong adhesion, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability, making it well suited for protecting steel exposed to the challenging conditions found along the Woods Hole waterfront.

Wasser's Solution

A multi-coat Wasser system was applied beginning with MC-Miozinc at 3–5 mils DFT for corrosion protection, followed by two coats of Eco-TR at 4–7 mils DFT each to build a durable protective barrier. MC-Luster at 2–4 mils DFT completed the system, providing a tough, weather-resistant finish designed for lasting protection and appearance.
