Transport construction
Transport infrastructure facilities, especially bridges, are subject to the corrosive effects of different environmental factors and climatic conditions inherent to the location. To ensure the durability of the operating structures, one needs long-term corrosive protection with materials resistant to variable temperatures, increased humidity, salt spray, solar radiation and other factors. Bridges are often part of the architectural appearance of territories, therefore paint coatings of such facilities should also have high decorative characteristics.
VMP coatings are used in the construction of railway, highway, cycling and pedestrian bridges, flyovers, clear pathways and other transport infrastructure facilities. A wide range of materials allows you to select anticorrosive coating ensuring the required level of transport facility protection and complying with all the Customer’s requirements.

Industrial certification
Based on the results of numerous tests, VMP anticorrosive systems are included in the main Russian industrial regulating documents, such as Company standard STO-01393674-007-2011 “Protection of metal structures of bridges” by painting of TsNIIS OJSC, Company standard STO-01393674-008-2014 “Concrete and reinforced concrete structures of transport facilities. Protection against corrosion” TsNIIS OJSC, GOST 31384 - 2008 “Protection of concrete and reinforced concrete structures against corrosion” General technical requirements, Process Guidelines for painting metal structures of railway bridges, “Russian Railways” JSC, MGSN 2.09.-03 “Protection against corrosion of concrete and reinforced concrete transport facilities”. Their application is approved by the AVTODOR State Company by coordination of the Company’s standard STO 12288779-001-2013 “Protection against corrosion of metal, concrete and reinforced concrete bridge structures by VMP coatings”, as well as by the State Committee for Construction of Russia – the coatings are introduced into SNiP 2.03.11-85 “Protection of building structures against corrosion”.
VMP coating systems have been fully industry-certified and entered into all main regulatory documents
Bridge protection
For corrosion protection of bridges, VMP recommends using complex coating systems consisting of one or several layers of paint and varnish materials. The anticorrosion coatings for bridges developed by the holding have the following advantages:
- long service life (up to 30 years);
- weather resistance;
- high decorative characteristics (variety of colors, UV-resistance);
- for metal: using materials with special pigments decelerating corrosion processes;
- for concrete: using materials that reduce the water absorption of concrete and increase its frost-resistance, preventing the penetration of corrosion-active substances into the body of concrete.
Protection of friction joints
For the protection of friction joints, VMP recommends using ZFES zinc-filled compositions. It is recommended for use by “Mosty” research and development center in process procedure IS-385-06.
Main advantages of ZFES composition:
- High friction coefficient of painted joints;
- Accelerated drying time;
- High zinc content (protective mechanism of corrosive protection);
- All-season application (от – 15 оС до + 40 оС).
Road fences protection
Road fences come into contact daily with corrosive media, therefore the coatings used must have an appropriate set of performance characteristics: water resistance, chemical resistance and resistance to abrasion. The necessary level of protection is provided by materials containing zinc powder or anticorrosive pigments.
Protection of concrete supports and pillars
VMP anticorrosive materials protect concrete against penetration of moisture and corrosive components, prevent or significantly slow down the process of reinforcement corrosion. Only with the help of paint, concrete and reinforced concrete structures can be given a certain color. To protect concrete, VMP coatings have been developed based on penetrating primers that penetrate the porous concrete surface and create a reliable substrate for subsequent layers. According to the conclusion of VNIIZHB, polyurethane-based coating has a high adhesion to concrete, significantly (by 7 steps) increases the concrete grade in terms of water resistance, reduces water absorption and increases frost-resistance of concrete by 2 times, it is recommended for secondary protection of concrete and reinforced concrete structures, as well as for water proofing of underground structures.
Coating systems “ISOLEP-pro + IZOLEP-mastic + POLYTON-UR (UV)”, “FERROTAN-pro + FERROTAN + POLYTON-UR (UV)”, “FERROTAN-pro + POLYTON-UR + POLYTON-UR (UV)”, “ALISTERUS 310” belong to IVaht group according to GOST 31384, have the TsNIIS conclusions, confirming service life of more than 20 years.
In addition to concrete protection, ALISTERUS 1702 antigraffiti varnish with the use of silicone components ensures anti-vandal coating characteristics.
