Of what is it made?
What are the requirements? Corrosion resistance, wear resistance, appearance, etc?

Protection is expected from atmospheric corrosion, the plant location is coastal and weather remains rainy for 6 months.

At one time CR was our site standard based on similar requirements as yours, located on salt water bay. We tried a straight epoxy system based on our at the time our paint supplier's recommendation, no good chalked rapidly. We then went to EU system based on KTA panel results. Our first supplier of the EU system was Carboline. They are other good suppliers out there. R was phased out quickly after adoption of the EU system mainly due to some issues with CR solvent at the time. In KTA testing the only monocoat coat epoxy that stood up to our environment was Sears epoxy deck paint.
I've heard that there are now some very good monocoat epoxies on the market.
Here are the systems we used for a number of years.
