ALKA · AUSTRALIAN COATINGS MANUFACTURER
Industrial coatings for equipment, steel and production.
Protective systems for equipment, production and plant.
MANUFACTURER SYSTEM GUIDANCE
Start with the application.
ALKA manufactures protective coatings for fabricated steel, machinery, manufacturing facilities and containment areas. Choose a complete system around exposure, preparation and the finish your operation needs.
Explore the asset pages below for relevant coating builds, selection guidance and product information. Each page separates external protection, maintenance and specialist lining requirements.

Explore systems & guidance →SYSTEM SELECTION
Three routes to the right protection.
| System | Why select it | Coating build | Total DFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALKA-9931 General Industrial | Balanced protection, appearance and cost without requiring a zinc-rich primer Prepared steel; moderate internal or external industrial atmospheric exposure | Alka 416 epoxy zinc-phosphate primer → Alka 413 high-build epoxy → Alka 421 polyurethane finish | 225–275 µm |
| ALKA-9934 Industrial Finish | Efficient two-coat system with attractive finish, cleanability and UV resistance Prepared steel in moderate atmospheric exposure where appearance and cleanability are important | Alka 416 or project-approved Alka epoxy primer → Alka 421 polyurethane finish | 150–200 µm |
| ALKA-9936 Chemical-Resistant Lining | Higher chemical resistance than standard epoxy systems for demanding process environments Prepared steel or concrete in tanks, bunds, process areas and secondary containment | Alka Tanklin 100 and/or Alka Tanklin Chem system selected to suit the chemical service | 450–600 µm |
DFT = dry-film thickness. These are nominal system totals; individual-coat thicknesses and application conditions belong in the final coating schedule.
PLAN THE SPECIFICATION
Define the duty before choosing the coating.
New steelwork
Match the primer, barrier and finish to the exposure. Include preparation, fabrication details and the required appearance.
Maintenance
Assess the existing coating and achievable preparation. Set repair boundaries and plan application and cure within the shutdown.
Linings & containment
Define the liquid or chemical, temperature, contact duration and substrate. Agree the complete lining and inspection schedule.
PRODUCTS & TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
Go directly to the product information.
Read the published technical data sheets below, or open a product overview. Request the current SDS set and confirm the document revisions for your specification before procurement.
MANUFACTURER TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Turn the service conditions into a coating specification.
Send the asset, substrate, exposure and maintenance window. ALKA can help define the coating build, preparation and technical documentation for your review.
Industrial coatings — Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne
ALKA manufactures coating products and helps build specifications for industrial steel, equipment and maintenance. Compare single-pack primers and alkyd enamels with epoxy barrier coats and polyurethane finishes according to preparation, exposure and the required appearance.
Industrial coatings in Sydney
For Sydney fabrication and maintenance projects, discuss steel condition, workshop application and delivery of products with ALKA. Provide the preparation method and target dry-film thickness for review.
Industrial coatings in Brisbane
For Brisbane industrial assets, identify sheltered, weather-exposed and coastal conditions separately. Specify atmospheric corrosion protection independently from chemical immersion or tank lining duty.
Industrial coatings in Melbourne
For Melbourne machinery and plant refurbishment, provide existing-coating details and the available shutdown. Compare compatible maintenance systems, recoat windows and finish requirements.
