WB-18's quick drytime allows for easy application in tanks, voids, superstructures, ships and causeway systems (as pictured), and will last for many years.
Since multi-coat systems are not required, considerable savings advantages for the shipping industry can be realized in both the short and long-term, while remaining far within environmental guidelines as well.
WB-18 chemically bonds to the steel and prevents any undercutting should the structure be damaged while in use.
WB-18 also has anti-fouling properties: barnacles, zebra muscles, oysters, etc. will not adhere to the coating.

The underside of this coastal NJ bridge was coated with a single coat of WB 18 at 3-4 mils without a top coat of any paint and is still protecting the steel after almost 20 years.
WB-18's minimal cure, silicate chemistry is not affected by road salts or acid rain.
Since WB-18 is 100% water-based, there is no danger of overspray damaging surrounding buildings or cars and no costly solvent-disposal issues to deal with.
WB-18's single-coat system is lower in cost than galvanizing or painting, however, top coats can be easily applied if desired.

WB-18's easy mixing, application and minimal cure time allows for use in high production environments with low down-time of equipment and easy maintenance in the field.
Structures may be placed back in service in as little as two hours after application.
The abrasive-resistant finish of WB-18 will protect structures from harsh marine environments, as well as tremors from everyday stress.
