Mipa silicone remover in liquid or spray format removes grease, oil, silicone, wax and dirt from dock railings and waterside ladders. Clean before sanding and again before coating so contamination is not trapped under the primer.

Dock railings and waterside ladders are handled, stepped on and splashed more often than normal exterior metal. Waterside metal needs careful cleaning, surface keying, corrosion resistant primer and a durable 2K topcoat because splash, hand contact and weather can quickly punish weak paint work.
Mipa silicone remover in liquid or spray format removes grease, oil, silicone, wax and dirt from dock railings and waterside ladders. Clean before sanding and again before coating so contamination is not trapped under the primer.
MP Sanding Sponge gives hand control on curves, rungs, brackets and edges. Use it to dull sound paint, feather old edges and prepare steel, zinc coated metal, aluminium or mixed metal before primer.
Mipa EP 100-20 is the corrosion focused 2K epoxy primer stage. Use it with Mipa EP 950-25 hardener and Mipa EP Thinner where the product information calls for that system.
Mipa PU 240-90 gives the visible 2K polyurethane gloss finish for prepared parts exposed to weather and use. Mipa PU 912-25 hardener and Mipa 2K Thinner Normal V25 support the compatible PU topcoat stage.
Clean the dock railings and waterside ladders, then remove loose rust, old loose paint, salt residue and chalked coating. Sound paint should be dulled rather than left glossy.
Sand the surface evenly and pay close attention to welds, bolt areas, rungs, corners and water holding edges. These areas lose coating first when preparation is weak.
Apply Mipa EP 100-20 with the correct EP hardener and thinner method. The primer stage builds adhesion and corrosion resistance before the gloss coat is applied.
Apply Mipa PU 240-90 with the matching PU hardener and thinner. Keep the film even across edges and shaped parts so the finish protects as well as it looks.
Let the coating cure before regular use near water. Recheck contact points on dock railings and waterside ladders because ladders, rails and hardware often wear at touch and impact areas.
Use the epoxy primer stage first so the topcoat is not relied on as the only barrier against corrosion.
Clean, sand and coat only after the old paint is firm enough to stay in place. Any loose edge should be taken back to a stable boundary.
Use the PU 240-90 gloss topcoat when a durable colour finish is needed on railings, ladders, brackets or hardware above the waterline and splash zone.
On ladders and railings, give extra coating attention to rungs, hand contact zones and lower fixing points. Those are the first places where water and abrasion break a weak finish.
