REDUCES MAINTENANCE

TIME, COST & RISK

NutriSkin™

Working closely with the shipping container maintenance and repair industry in Australia and New Zealand, AQUIO™ has developed a water-based floor coating that reduces the cost, time, and risks involved in maintaining shipping containers for food quality shipments.

This coating, NutriSkin™ requires only a single coat which takes 10-15 minutes to apply and leaves no residual odours. In contrast, solvent-based products may require up to 3 coats, taking 3 hours to apply in addition to days of airing to remove the solvent’s harsh residual odour. In the time it would take to coat one box using a solvent-based product, a good operator could coat 12 boxes using the NutriSkin™ shipping container flooring paint.

Additionally, NutriSkin™ is applied by a roller. This allows upgrades to be conducted in virtually any location in the world with no capital investment in application equipment, reducing the need to ship empty units from the container depot and greatly reducing cost.
