Keep Your Assets Protected with Patented Technology

A superior, high-performance polymer cargo tank coating, heat cured to a tightly knit, virtually impermeable structure, to provide superior cargo protection for chemical, product, parcel and barge tankers. Provides the highest chemical resistance of all coatings and has been referred to as ‘liquid stainless steel.’ Offers great versatility to switch and carry a wide range of cargoes after easy tank cleaning. Used on more than 700 maritime tankers worldwide.

Let's Talk

Product Highlights

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Virtually non-permeable for assurance of product purity.
  • Superior bond strength and adhesion.
  • Very low VOC - 99 grams/L (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 fewer slops, and fast drying.
  • Minor tank touch-up repairs are done easily.
  • ABS ISO 9001:2008 Certification.

Cargo Tank Coating ROI

marineline-roi-chart
 

This 5-year comparison of MarineLINE® versus Phenol Epoxy coatings shows the tremendous difference in Additional Return On Investment. Chart calculations are based on data accumulated from a number of tanker shipowners.

25,000 DWT Tanker, nine voyages per year @ $20,000 USD per day

  1. 3 less cleaning days per voyage than Phenol Epoxy (27 more sailing days)
  2. 50% less cleaning chemicals used
  3. 50% fewer slops
  4. MarineLINE® cargo tank coating is fully cured when leaving the shipyard, so additional income is earned as MarineLINE® can immediately carry all cargoes on the MarineLINE® resistance list.

Long Service Life Potential

marineline-coatings-performance

The MarineLINE® cargo tank coating has been applied to hundreds of maritime chemical and product tankers, covering millions of square meters of surface.

Our coating withstands the stresses of twisting and bending in rough seas while resisting temperature extremes of the cold Baltic winters to the hot Middle East summers.

These unretouched photographs of tankers at various inspection intervals provide some insight into the performance of MarineLINE®.
