Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium, Auckland

Kelly Tarlton’s required a waterproof coating that would bond to steel, concrete and epoxy, have anti-corrosion properties and must be suitable for marine life exposure.

• Kelly Tatlton’s had to remain opened to the public during construction – minimum disruption
• Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium, Craig Thorburn Consulting Zoologist Ltd and Thorburn Consulting Engineers required products that were safe to use in a marine environment

Sikagard-62 is a two-part, high build epoxy based protective coating. Its properties act as a chemical resistant protective layer to concrete, stone and cementitious mortars and renderings, epoxy cement, epoxy resin-based products and steel.

Having good mechanical and chemical resistance and being an easy to apply solution with potable water certification, it was the ideal solution for the lining of the exhibit.
