High Performance Protective Coatings For Industry,
Formulated With Patented Polymer Technology

MarineLine 784

Description
MarineLine 784 delivers significantly improved product performance and anti-corrosion resistance. Marineline 784 is formulated with patented breakthrough polymer, designed and engineered with 28 functional groups per molecule. This translates into 784 crosslinks far surpassing Phenol Epoxies which only deliver 2 functional groups (4 crosslinks).

MarineLine 784’s Higher Cross-Link Density Means:

  • Higher Chemical Resistance
  • Higher Temperature Resistance
  • Higher Reactivity at Lower Temperature
  • Higher Resistance to Absorption
  • Higher Toughness

MarineLine 784 is low temperture forced air cured for immediate service. When cured, MarineLine 784’s high 28 functionality delivers an extremely dense cross-linked molecular structure. Unlike other coatings, MarineLine 784 cross-links predominantly through an ether (carbon-oxygen-carbon) link-age. This eliminates high concentrations of hydroxyl groups (found in phenol epoxies) and precludes formulation of ester groups which are subject to hydrolysis and acid attack.

Product Highlights

  • Superior bond strength and adhesion
  • Maximum cargo flexibility, product cycling
  • Repairable
  • Very low VOC - 108 grams/liter
  • Can be applied to pitted corroded steel
  • Can carry food grade cargoes
  • Resists all IMO cargoes
  • Non-permeable for product purity

More Chemical Resistance than:

  • Stainless Steel
  • Phenol Epoxies
  • Zinc

Increased Return on Investment for:

  • Product Carriers
  • Chemical Tankers
  • Oil Tankers
  • Smooth Surface Finish (Ra 0.7 vs. Ra 1.8) for Phenol Epoxy
  • Faster Cleaning and Drying
  • Faster Turn-Around

MarineLine 784 Provides Superior Resistance To:

  • Acids, Alkalis and Solvents
  • Thermal Shock (-40° C to +200° C)
  • Flex Stressing
  • Wear and Abrasion
  • Product Absorption
  • Impact
  • Under-Creep Corrosion

 

The Technology; Epoxies, Vinylesters and MarineLine Form 3 Dimensional Screen-Like Structures when Cured

Problems with Phenolic Epoxy Coating

  • Absorbs cargoes to high levels (depending on cargo)
  • Absorbs cargo
  • Releases absorbed cargo very slowly
  • Small traces may be retained
  • Subsequent cargo contamination

Problems with Zinc Silicate Coatings

  • Absorbs cargo quickly
  • Retains oil like cargoes
  • Subsequent cargo contamination
  • Limits back hauling capability
  • Not resistant to acids, caustics, and acid containing oils and urea

Application Data
Note: The following application data is provided as a general guide only. Detailed instructions are provided for MarineLine 784 coating systems. Only full detailed application specifications are to be used during actual application of any MarineLine system.

Surface Preparation
Steel: Grit blast to Sa 2.5 - 75-100 micron blast profile most desired.

Mixing Instructions
Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied.
(1) Thoroughly mix the contents of Part A with a power agitator until uniform consistency and color is obtained. Be sure that any solids that may have settled through storage have been put back in suspension.
(2) Slowly combine the contents of Part B with the previously mixed Part A.
(3) Thoroughly mix the two parts until a uniform consistency and color is obtained.

Clean Up Solvent
Acetone, Xylene, Toluene

Limitations
Apply when the air and surface temperatures are above 15° C (59° F). Relative humidity must be kept at 60% or lower. The substrate temperature should be at least 3° C (5° F) above the dew point and rising. For optimum application properties, bring material to 21-30° C (70-86° F) prior to mixing and application. Increased temperatures will result in shorter pot life.

Application
Airless spray equipment with minimum 60:1 pump ratio @ 80-100 lbs. to achieve 2500-3000 p.s.i. tip pressure: Reverse-A-Clean tip .019 to .023, with 3/8" fluid hose, and 1/4" whip hose. This coating is a low VOC compliant material. If conditions require a viscosity adjustment, thin with ONLY Toluene or Xylene.

The following excerpts are taken from the independent technical report titled “Suitability of MARINELINE for Cargo Tank Coatings,” prepared by Dr. Norbert Ackermann of Anticorrosion Service.

“MARINELINE coating resists, without limitations, virtually all common sea-trade cargoes, including also products unsuitable for stainless steel.”

“For chemical carriers of all IMO classes, MARINELINE, owing to its unlimited cargo range as well as owing to easier cargo handling and tank cleaning, offers significant advantages over traditional coatings.”

“Compared to stainless steel tanks, MARINELINE offers the same cargo range (limited only by the equipment material) at a much lower cost.”

A History of Performance
MarineLine coatings and linings have been proven worldwide under the most arduous operating conditions, from resisting the most aggressive cargoes to handling hot cargoes in the sub-freezing arctic. MarineLine-coated ships have withstood the tremendous stresses and extremes of changing chemical cargoes almost on a weekly basis. Based on this experience, the development of MarineLine 784 represents a quantum leap in cargo tank lining technology.
