Power industry
Bearing structures of buildings and installations, equipment located at power engineering and nuclear facilities are exposed to serious corrosive effects. At the same time, high standards are applied to the safety and service life of these facilities. Therefore, a necessary stage of construction or reconstruction of power engineering and nuclear facilities are works on corrosive protection of metal and concrete structures. At the same time, it is required for nuclear power facilities to apply protective coating resistant to the effect of decontamination solutions.
VMP produces a line of industrial protective materials for a wide range of applications, on the basis of which complex systems of anticorrosive coatings for power facilities have been developed. The VMP range includes materials with decontamination capability, water resistance, weather resistance, radiation resistance (at least 1 mGy), resistance to technical media and other important performance characteristics;

VMP coatings scope of application
- Protection of power generation facilities (CHP, GRES, HPP, TPP, NPP small-scale power generation). Protection against corrosion of metal, concrete and reinforced concrete, as well as the equipment indoors, in open atmosphere, in soil, at increased temperatures, in pressurized area and controlled access area of NPP.
- Protection of power transmission and distribution facilities. Protection against corrosion of supports of power lines, outdoor switch gears, substation portals and piles foundations in open atmosphere and soil.
- Protection of heat networks facilities. Corrosion protection of accumulating tanks, equipment and pipelines indoors, in the open atmosphere and in soil.
VMP materials are approved and recommended for use by the State Committee for Construction of Russia.
VMP coatings have been successfully tested and have the conclusions of leading industrial institutes and research centers: Research Institute of Concrete and Reinforced Concrete (NIIZHB), LKM-KHOTKOVO-TEST, Central Research and Design Institute of Building Metal Structures (TsNIIPSK) named after Melnikov, Moscow State Construction University.

Protection of power generation facilities
due to a wide range of products, VMP Holding can offer coating systems for corrosion protection of different power generation facilities (CHP, GRES, HPP, TPP, NPP small-scale power generation). The selection of coating is based on the operating conditions of the protected facility. Special radiation-resistant and decontaminable coatings have been developed by VMP for the steel structures of nuclear power facilities.
VMP coatings are used for the protection of metal, concrete and reinforced concrete structures and equipment operated:
- in an open environment
- indoors
- in soil
- at increased temperatures (up to 350 ℃)
- at running level area or during full immersion
- in a pressurized area and controlled access area of NPP
Distinctive features of VMP anticorrosive coatings
- high service life
- wide selection and application range
- application convenience
- a number of coatings allow all-season application
- available coatings tolerant to surface preparation
Protection of power transmission and distribution facilities
The construction of new and maintenance of existing power transmission lines and power distribution lines is of strategic importance for the country. The strength and durability of high-voltage lines and substation portals are ensured, among other things, by their reliable protection against corrosion. Cold galvanizing is a common technology for corrosion protection of power transmission line supports. Application of paint coatings with high zinc content ensures reliable and long-term protection of steel structures.
VMP Holding has developed coatings with the use of zinc-filled primers for the protection of power transmission line supports. The most common coating system is ZINOL+ALPOL. Distinctive features of the coating are long service life, all-season application (from – 15 оС to + 40 оС), and quick material drying. Other VMP coatings are also used for painting power transmission line supports.
Protection of heat networks
Heat network facilities are operated in the environment with high corrosive activity. Accumulating tanks, pipelines, as well as tanks and vessels for water storage in domestic water supply systems are exposed to the most intense corrosion and, consequently, accelerated destruction.
Heat networks are characterized by two types of corrosion: external and internal. It is allowed to use anticorrosive paintwork materials for the protection of the external surfaces of pipelines.
Protection of heat networks pipelines
For protection against corrosion of external surfaces of new and repair of pipelines of heat networks that were in operation, VMP recommends using epoxy based primer enamel ISOLEP-mastic and vinyl-epoxy based VINICOR. VMP coatings have the required level of corrosion resistance and ensure fault-free operation of heat supply facilities for a long time. Distinctive features: long service life, manufacturability, and possibility to apply on tightly adhered rust and old paint residues.
Protection of vessels
Regarding the protection against corrosion of containers and tanks in heat supply systems, hot water storage tanks, VMP recommends using zinc-filled ethylsilicate composition – ZFES for corrosion protection of tanks and vessels in heating supply systems and hot water accumulating tanks. Distinctive features: accelerated drying time, all-seasonal application, stability in fresh water, and manufacturability.
Protection of steel piles
The use of ISOLEP-mastic primer enamel was approved for the protection of metal piles against corrosion and frost heaving by OAO Fundmanetproekt. The coating reduces frost heave forces by 20-60%, it is resistant to mechanical impacts, and allows obtaining the required thickness of 0.35 μm per one layer which leads to a reduction in labor costs per area of the protected surface.
