Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 sustainable surface protection
Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 (or BUP 1000) is a unique surface protection suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It is unique in its scope, composition, and corrosion resistance, making it a sustainable solution for fixing or supporting mechanical installations, solar systems, and other installations.
The benefits of Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000:
- Withstands at least 1000 hours of salt spray test
- Suitable for C1-C4 environments (ISO12944-2)
- Up to 55% less resources than the hot dip galvanising process
- The finish is smooth and visually appealing
- Can be combined with products of other finishes
A more sustainable alternative
Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 utilises a more sustainable production process than hot-dip galvanising.
- Seven times less energy use
- No use of tap water
- Own water cleaning system
- Emission of cleaned air
- Up to 55% less resources used
The alternative to hot-dip galvanising
The products protected with the Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 system have high corrosion resistance. Effortlessly, they withstand a salt spray test of at least 1000 hours (according to ISO 9227), whereas hot-dip galvanised products normally withstand only between 300-600 hours.
Despite a relatively thin protective layer, the corrosion resistance is high. Products coated with the Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 system have a smooth, beautiful finish and can be used in industrial applications where aesthetics are important. An additional advantage of the relatively thin protective layer is that products with threaded holes or rods are also well protected against corrosion.
Installation tips
Design the system in such a way that there is no possibility of water or waste – organic or otherwise – stagnating around metal Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 products. Use, for example, a Walraven Rooftop Feet to lift the Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 System.
To make sure water runs off freely, place the Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 parts at an angle of at least 2°.
Because the Walraven RapidStrut® channel DS 5 has self-repairing properties, you can cut the rail to length to meet your needs. The cut edges remain protected against corrosion. We strongly advise that you do not cut the Walraven RapidStrut® Cantilever Arm as this will leave the cut edges unprotected.
Fit the channel or cantilever arm with a Walraven Rail End Cap for a clean finish at the channel end and to cover any burrs. To prevent the accumulation of dirt inside the rail, use the Walraven RapidStrut® PVC Profile to close the slot (when fitted on top).
To comply with the warranty terms and conditions*, use only Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 (BUP100) products within the installation. Combining BUP100 products with other metals may reduce the system lifespan and can lead to galvanic corrosion. Do not combine Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 products with aluminium, stainless steel, copper, or untreated steel.
