The bold, gold tone of the Blygold stand immediately drew the eye at ARBS 2024, and then, on arrival at the booth, there is a face
immediately familiar to anyone who loves their racing.
Blygold sponsors Will Brown, who drives with the Redbull Ampol team, and who has been enjoying an exceptional run this year with three first places and another six podium finishes.
He was there to sign caps and otherwise represent the standards of quality and precision that Blygold is renowned for.
Mark Weir, managing director of Blygold Oceania, explained the reasons for the enduring popularity of the core Blygold solution.
“It is a specialised protective coating, with a film thickness of only 25 microns, which offers maximum protection with minimal impact on an HVAC unit’s operating efficiency,” he said.
This innovative solution is not just a barrier against corrosion, but also delivers significant cost savings by as much as tripling the lifespan of the units and slashing energy costs by up to 30 per cent across the entire lifespan of the unit.
In other words, it’s not just a solution that will mean you need to cut down on maintenance and end-of-life refreshes, but it’s also there as an effortless way to bolster their sustainability commitment.
The convention floor was also buzzing over Blygold’s ability to maintain operating efficiency over the lifespan of new units and restore and maintain it for existing ones.
“Beyond the condensers and coils, we can treat all of the casings, panels, internal pipework, compressors, and even PC boards,” Weir added, painting a picture of a fully coated, fully protected HVAC unit post-treatment.
These weren’t the only qualities that helped Blygold stand out.
“Our polyurethane coating offers excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals and environmental factors,” he said.
A standout feature is the product’s UV resistance, which is crucial for equipment exposed to the harsh Australian sunlight on rooftops.
Weir also emphasised the product’s adherence to international testing standards, including the rigorous ASTM B117 salt spray test, which simulates long-term exposure to corrosive environments.
For anyone installing units with an ocean view, this feature adds a critical level of additional resilience to the unit, given that Australian ocean climates are notorious for the wear and tear they place on anything left outside.
In addition to its capabilities in residential settings, Weir noted that the Blygold solution has found compelling use cases in both industrial and rural settings where gases, pesticides, and other corrosive elements are prevalent.
This is another reason that the sponsorship of Will Brown made such great sense to Blygold, Weir added.
“Supercars operate out of every capital city in Australia and Auckland, New Zealand, and that aligns perfectly with where our products deliver value,” Weir said.
As the convention wrapped up, it was clear that Blygold had left a lasting impression as an opportunity to add value.
Thanks to its unique, sustainable, and high-quality solution that extends the lifetime and efficiency of HVAC units and all their components, Blygold represents something simple, but crucial: asset longevity and energy efficiency.
