MarineLine 784

 

The industry leading cargo tank coating for chemical and product tankers.

MarineLine® 784 from Advanced Polymer Coatings, is the premier cargo tank coating system available for chemical and product carriers, and the only high performance lining that withstands all IMO approved chemical cargoes.

 

Key Coatings Benefits

  • MarineLine® is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food grade cargoes. MarineLine® 784 coating complies with the FDA and all applicable food additive regulations.
  • More chemical resistance than stainless steel, phenolic epoxies and zinc silicate coatings
  • Superior resistance to acids, alkalis and solvents; maximum versatility to carry CPPs, PFADs, Bio-Fuels, and Methanol
  • Non-permeable for assurance of product purity
  • Superior bond strength and adhesion
  • Very low VOC - 99 grams/liter (0.80 lbs./gal.)
  • Excellent flex stressing
  • Resistance to wear, abrasion and impact
  • Thermal shock resistance -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F )

Key Performance Benefits

  • Shipowners generate strong Return on Investment (ROI)
  • Faster, easier, more efficient cleaning due to non-absorption, low surface energy and smooth surface
  • Inspection of tank coating application and curing by MarineLine professionals
  • Easy tank cleaning with less slops, and fast drying
  • Minor tank touch-up repairs done easily
  • Support offices in Korea, China, Turkey, Singapore, UK, Japan, and the USA
  • ABS ISO 9001:2008 Certification
  • MarineLine® 784 is ABS Type Approved

Why MarineLine® 784 is a Better Coating

Potential Problems with Conventional Coatings

As shown here, both phenolic epoxy and zinc silicate coatings have problems with various cargoes, leading to potential cargo contamination issues, and corrosion.

Limitations of Phenolic Epoxy Coatings

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

Limitations of 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

 

The MarineLine 784® Solution Utilizes Polymer Technology

MarineLine® 784 is formulated with a polymer designed and engineered with 28 functional groups per molecule. When heat cured, MarineLine® 784 coating forms 3-dimensional, screen-like structures with up to 784 cross-links. This far surpasses Epoxies that only deliver 2 functional groups with only 4 cross-links.

This more densely cross-linked molecular structure delivers:

  • Higher Chemical Resistance
  • Higher Temperature Resistance
  • Higher Reactivity at Lower Temperature
  • Higher Resistance to Absorption
  • Greater Toughness
  • Faster Tank Cleaning

The Greater the Distance Between the Cross-links, the Greater the Permeation Causing Chemical Attack and Absorption
