Proterium® is part of GMD Metal Coating.
What is Proterium®?
Proterium® is a metalization with aluminum and has ideal characteristics for large scale, industral use. One single layer of Proterium® protects optimal against corrosion – according to ISO 12944-9 on C5-level 25 years or more. With two layers you will even achieve CX-level for offshore-purposes. Other systems (traditional coatings) need three to even five layers to reach similar results.
Advantages Proterium®
-
Twentyfive years life time cycle | at a layer thickness of 200 mµ – equal to C5 VH (one layer).
-
Efficiency regarding man-hours, time, material and logistics.
-
Cathodic principle: the metalization (anode) sacrifices itself (substrate remains intact) and has a self-repair ability
-
The base-color is grey, but any top-coating color is possible, if nessecary.
-
The application of Proterium® is done with conventional equipment, no high investments needed, like with TSA or Powder Coating
-
In difference to TSA (Thermal Spray Aluminum) is the application of Proterium cold. ‘Cold’ means lower than 30 °C (TSA is applicated at 500 °C)
-
Much more durable in comparison with other (metal-)coatings; low VOC and een low particle release (7,5 mU p/a)
Industries & Consultancy
Proterium® is applicable in virtually any business and sector, both onshore ánd offshore:
• Construction (installations and (new-)build)
• Transport sector (Land, Water and Air)
• Offshore & maritime (Platforms, Tubes, Turbines etc.)
• Mining and Agri (yellow goods sector)
In combination with other GMD-products is Proterium able to perform in decorative (outdoor) needs, as well. The Roofing and Facades could be an example.
Tested by Element
Proterium® has been in several physical tests at Element Materials Technology – to be sure the product meets the highest industrial levels and norms. The Element-test at CX-level, acoording to ISO 12944-9, is succesfully achieved. However testing goes on: the Element-test for ISO 19277 CUI (corrosion under insulation) is pending.

The name says it all: Proterium is a compound of the word protection and the Latin word metallicum (metal).
