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

Phenolic Epoxies Form 3 Dimensional Screen-Like Structures With
Hydroxyl Formation Inside the Crosslink Structure When Cured

Absorbs cargoes to high levels (depending on cargo) Absorbs cargo Releases absorbed cargo very slowly Small traces may be retained Subsequent cargo contamination (1) Reason for swelling: Hydroxyl groups are hydrolizable (Hydrolysis – chemical decomposition in which a compound is broken down and changed into other compounds by hydrogen and/or oxygen) (2) Absorbed cargo plus other compounds

MarineLine® is cross linked by an ether (c-o-c) structure, one of the strongest in chemistry, meaning there are no Hydroxyl groups available for Hydrolysis in MarineLine®

Absorbs cargo quickly Retains oil-like cargoes Subsequent cargo contamination Limits back hauling capability Not resistant to acids, caustics, and acidcontaining oils and urea Difficult to pick up spot cargoes

The Ultimate Tank Coating Solution is MarineLine®   MarineLine® X (Non-Forced Hot Air Heat Cure) Provides product/parcel and oil tanker owners who trade in the CPP, Bio Fuels, Vegetable and Edible Oils, Crude Oils, and DPP markets, a product that offers them greater versatility and chemical resistance than any phenol epoxy or zinc coating on the market todayand at a comparable cost. Combine this with the ease of application and cleaning and the owner can maximize return on investment in a short period of time. MarineLine® 784 (Forced Hot Air Heat Cure) Outperforms stainless steel and all other coatings providing the highest chemical resistance available on the market today. Being heat cured in the shipyard enables MarineLine® 784 coated tanks to carry aggressive cargoes immediately out of the shipyard without restrictions, allowing the ship owner to earn premium chartering rates from day one.

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. Since 1994, 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.
