The Hong-Kong Electric Lamma Power Station planned to expand their generating capacity and due to limited space within the existing site, land was reclaimed from the sea. DuPont Abcite was selected as one of the coating materials for the cable supporting system of Unit 9 in 2005.

     “The subtropical climate of Hong Kong, with seasonal high temperatures around 35 degree.C, accompanied by high UV, humidity, and salinity, is very aggressive and the selection of Abcite protective coatings was considered suitable for this project" comments Nick James, business development consultant for DuPont Polymer Powders in Asia.

     “Its technical features, such as VOC free, UV tolerance, durability, mechanical, impact and chemical resistance, salt water and fire resistance and the fact that no adhesive primer is needed makes it an ideal coating solution for demanding construction projects above and below ground in the region. In addition, Abcite can be easily repaired in situ. The alternative would have been stainless steel but at treble cost vs the current solution”.
