25 years of corrosion protection expertise, industrial coatings, rubber lining and abrasive blasting delivered on time, on spec.

What We Do

Duplex Coatings (Pty) Ltd is a young and dynamic company in the corrosion protection industry. We offer a full range of services relating to specialized corrosion protection and solutions.

Industrial Corrosion Coating

We use industry standard corrosion resistant paint and application methods to protect metal components against degradation due to moisture, salt spray, oxidation, or exposure to a variety of environmental or industrial chemicals in a range of industries.

Rubber Lining

We work hand in hand with multiple liners to suit our customers needs. We offer rubber lining as an application method used to protect multiple types of systems by lining corrosion and abrasion-resistant rubber upon the surface or inside of pipes and tanks to significantly increase its wear life.

Abrasive Blasting

We offer grit blasting, microblasting, shot blasting and glass bead blasting to smooth rough surfaces, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants.

Tank Lining

We offer tank lining that cure at low temperatures and is applied inside and outside a tank to provide the ultimate protection of the substrate material from chemical attack.

Galvanising

We work hand in hand with hot dip galvanizers to deliver abrasive blasted & galvanized material to international standards in which the parts are submerged in a bath of molten hot zinc to create a protective zinc coating on steel or iron.

Transportation

The efficient transport of goods has become key to our ever more globalised economy. We can transport your steel between fabrication, corrosion protection and get it onto site.
