A project requiring thirteen ballast tanks to be completely refurbished resulted in huge time and cost savings being achieved by utilising our revolutionary\u00a0solvent-free, wet & rust\u00a0<\/strong>tolerant coating system.<\/p>\n

The ballast tanks were showing signs of deterioration and required a new coating system which would cause no disruption to other on-going work within the vicinity. The client also required a system offering a 10 year guarantee.<\/p>\n

Each tank was abrasive blasted to SA 2.5 standards. One stripe coat and primer coat of\u00a0solvent-free, wet & rust\u00a0<\/strong>tolerant epoxy\u00a0Epo-chem\u2122 RS 500P<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>was then applied, followed by one stripe coat and one topcoat of\u00a0solvent-free, wet\u00a0<\/strong>tolerant epoxy\u00a0Epo-chem\u2122 RA 500M<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0solvent-free\u00a0<\/strong>properties of this\u00a0Chemco<\/strong>\u00a0system allowed all other work being carried out within the vicinity to continue without disruption or delay, resulting in substantial time and cost savings being achieved.<\/p>\n
