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

Advanced Polymer Coatings, the company that pioneered the breakthrough tank coating MarineLine® 784 for chemical and product tankers, is now introducing the latest tank coating innovation for oil tankers and FPSOs... MarineLine® X.

New MarineLine® X is formulated to serve these markets:

  • Oil Tankers
    - ULCC
    - VLCC
    - Suezmax
    - Aframax
    - Panamax
    - Seawaymax
  • FPSOs

This new coating provides a safe and effective tank lining system for oil tankers and FPSOs. This coating does not require
forced hot air heat curing.

MarineLine® X Delivers ...

  • low surface energy
  • a smooth surface
  • fast cleaning and drying
  • consistent product purity
  • greater corrosion resistance than Phenolic Epoxies
  • higher elongation giving greater toughness and durability for long service life
  • substantial operational savings over the life of the ship

 

AND MARINELINE® X IS OFFERED AT A COST COMPARABLE TO PHENOL EPOXIES

MarineLine® X is resistant to acidified moisture (Sulphuric Acid) of wet Inert Gas systems, providing long-term coatings performance.

Application Data

Note: The following application data is provided as a general guide only. Detailed instructions are provided for MarineLine® 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 are obtained. Be sure that any solids that may have settled through storage have been put back in suspension.
(2) Slowly combine the con tents 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 10° C (50° 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 proper ties, bring material to 21-30° C (70-86° F) prior to mixing and application. In creased 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, ONLY thin with Toluene or Xylene.

Recoat Time
Based on temperature, the recoat window for MarineLine® X could range from 16 hours to 3 days. Refer to the most current application specification for MarineLine® X for more detailed information.

Handling Precautions
Solvents and chemicals are contained in this product. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for details. Adequate safety and health pre cau tions should be taken during handling, application and drying of this product. The material should be applied under local, state, federal regulations and in accordance with OSHA and ANSI bulletins on safety re quirements.

Packaging
Available as:
5 gallon (19 liters) kit with catalyst
1 gallon (4 liters) kit with catalyst

 

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® has a history of success. 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® X represents a quantum leap in tank lining technology.
