Valspar Awarded
Contract to
Supply Coating for
Hongkong-Zhuhai-
Macao Bridge
The Valspar Corporation has been selected as the major supplier of concrete reinforcing steel coatings for the
Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge in
China. When completed in 2016, the
length of the bridge will span nearly 50
kilometers ( 30 miles) and is expected
to be the world’s longest sea-crossing
structure.
“Valspar is honored to be appointed
the primary supplier of protective coat-
ings for this major infrastructure proj-
ect,” said Roeland Polet, senior vice
president of Valspar Global Industrial.
“As a global leader in protective coatings
backed by our unique Valspar Greenbar
fusion-bonded epoxy, we are well posi-
tioned to partner with steel contractors
and have the broad experience to support
large-scale global projects of this nature.”
Valspar Greenbar fusion-bonded ep-
oxy (FBE) coating meets the rigorous
requirements of bridge building. The
coating provides optimum long-term cor-
rosion protection for the bridge’s steel-
reinforcing bar, dowel bar and related
bridge components; maximum flexibil-
ity for bending fabrication; and abrasion
and impact resistance.
