OVERVIEW<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The original coating located in the chemical cargo tanks on-board the chemical tanker had failed.<\/p>\n

As a result, the tanks were suffering from severe corrosion damage and had to be refurbished.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

CHALLENGE<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The existing failed coating had to be completely removed.<\/p>\n

Traditional phenolic epoxies would not have the necessary chemical and temperature resistance required to handle this vessel\u2019s cargo; therefore the new coating system had to provide full pH coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

SOLUTION<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The cargo tanks were grit blasted to Sa 2\u00bd standard.<\/p>\n

This was followed by one stripe coat and two full coats of RB 364<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To complete the coating system, one topcoat of RB 300TC<\/strong> was applied.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

OUTCOME<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Chemco system ensures that all tanks will have long term protection against high temperatures and chemicals covering the full pH range.<\/p>\n

This fast curing system also allows for efficient application and quick return-to-service.<\/p>\n

All the chemical cargo tanks were completed to class standard and certified accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
