PMD Coatings (Malta) Ltd

Business Overview

Marine paint in Malta has to cope with sun, salt and constant moisture. PMD Coatings (Malta) Ltd was founded in 1960 as a joint venture with Hempel A/S Denmark. Its aim was to manufacture and distribute Hempel products in Malta. The company was formerly Hempel (Malta) Ltd, so if you know it as Hempel Malta, you are in the right place.

Today PMD Coatings produces and distributes Hempel products under licence. It supplies decorative, protective and marine coatings to local markets. The marine side of the business serves Malta and Gozo, from private yachts to commercial vessels.

Yacht paint is one part of the range. It is used on hulls, decks and superstructures. A good finish protects the surface and keeps a boat looking smart. Different areas of a vessel face different conditions, so ask the team which product suits which area.

Rust protection is another important area. Epoxy coatings and protective primers Read Morehelp to shield metal from corrosion. Preparing the surface properly makes a big difference to how long a coating lasts. The team can advise on product selection and surface preparation.

Antifouling paint helps to prevent marine growth on hulls. Growth can slow a boat down and increase fuel use, so owners treat it seriously. When it is time to repaint, paint remover products can strip off old antifouling before a fresh coat goes on.

PMD Coatings also offers marine application services. It can inspect work at shipyards during dry docking. This helps boat owners and yards to check that coatings are applied as planned. If you are planning a dry docking, speak to the team early.

Choosing a marine coating system takes planning. Start with the vessel, its material and how it is used. Check the condition of the existing paint. Decide whether you need full stripping or a repair. Ask about compatible primers, topcoats and antifouling. Using products from one system helps them work together.

Timing matters too. Coatings need suitable weather and enough drying time. A rushed job can shorten the life of the paint. Plan the work around your haul out dates and the conditions at the yard. Ask how long each stage takes before you book your slot.

Safety is part of any coating job. Read the product data and follow the instructions on the tin. Work in a ventilated area and wear suitable protective equipment. Ask the team if you are unsure about handling or disposal.
