Harsh Operating Environments

Infrastructure Asset Protection

Energy and infrastructure assets often operate in harsh outdoor environments where exposure to salt air, moisture and industrial contaminants can accelerate corrosion. Offshore cranes, lifting systems and mechanical components rely on consistent maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Prolan corrosion protection products are used to protect key mechanical components including wire ropes, hardware and moving assemblies. By forming a protective lanolin barrier that seals metal from air and moisture, Prolan helps extend the operational life of these critical systems.

TESTIMONIAL

Proven Protection for Offshore Crane Wire Ropes

“We selected Prolan to protect the 30 m galvanised wire rope on our offshore crane after trialling several alternatives. The offshore environment is extremely harsh on steel, but Prolan has proven reliable in protecting the rope between replacements. Reapplying it during annual servicing keeps the system well protected.”

APPLICATION

Lower Total Cost of Protection

Longer service intervals result in fewer reapplications, reduced labor requirements, less operational downtime, and lower overall product consumption.

When maintenance cycles are extended, site visits become less frequent, and environmental handling exposure is reduced. Protection that lasts longer supports both operational efficiency and long-term sustainability objectives.
