Belford Dolphin ( Singapore - 2015 )
Hardtop AX was the chosen topcoat on Belford Dolphin to save time and cost during maintenance and eliminate the traditional limitations with other polyurethane topcoats.
Hardtop AX ensured a hassle-free application and perfect finish on the topside.

When spot blasting, one would expect a difference in colour of the previous paint and the need of an additional coat to reach full opacity. However, with Hardtop AX we reach full coverage with 1 coat. This is a major cost benefit when taking all aspects into the equation:
- Full opacity in 1 coat in signal colours
- No thinner needed
- High volume solids and minimal dry spray
