Chemco Receives Norsok M-501 Approval

Chemco’s revolutionary wet & rust tolerant coating system has recently received NORSOK M-501 Approval. This NORSOK standard gives the requirements for the selection of coating materials, surface preparation, application procedures and inspection of protective coatings to be applied during the construction and installation of offshore installations and associated facilities.

Chemco’s NORSOK M-501 approved coating system consists of three unique products:

• RS 500P – solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant universal epoxy primer/finish
• RA 500M – solvent-free, wet tolerant, glassflake epoxy single coat/topcoat
• RC 500GTC – highly chemical and UV resistant epoxy/acrylic topcoat

This is yet another excellent achievement for Chemco products RS 500P & RA 500M which, when combined, have already been approved by IMO for sea water ballast and oil cargo tanks, and NSF for potable water applications.
