The Science Behind it All
ChemLINE 784 performance begins with APC’s proprietary high-functionality polymer technology. Its tightly crosslinked molecular structure creates a dense protective barrier designed to resist harsh chemicals, reduce absorption, and protect valuable assets from corrosion.
Conventional Novolac Epoxy
Fewer reactive sites
Lower polymer functionality provides fewer reactive sites available for crosslinking.
ChemLINE® Technology
Significantly more functionality
APC's proprietary polymer contains significantly more reactive functionality, creating greater potential for crosslinking as the coating cures.
This view illustrates how ChemLINE 784’s tightly crosslinked polymer network strengthens its protective barrier. By limiting pathways for chemicals to penetrate the coating, this dense structure helps resist absorption, permeation, and chemical attack; protecting the underlying asset from corrosion.
Conventional Novolac Epoxy
Open, lower-density network
As the coating cures, a more open, lower-density crosslink structure can form, leaving pathways where chemical molecules can penetrate the coating.
ChemLINE® Technology
Compact, highly crosslinked
ChemLINE 784 forms a compact, highly cross-linked network designed to create a tighter barrier between chemicals and the substrate.
This cured-state view shows how ChemLINE 784’s dense coating structure helps protect the underlying asset. By limiting chemical absorption and penetration, its tightly crosslinked barrier helps resist chemical attack and protect tanks and equipment from corrosion.
Conventional Novolac Epoxy
Porous, chemicals absorbed
Chemicals can penetrate and remain within a more porous coating, increasing the risk of coating degradation and corrosion of the substrate beneath.
ChemLINE® Technology
Dense, high-gloss surface
ChemLINE 784 limits chemical penetration, helping the coating withstand harsh exposure and maintain its protective performance.
Designed to resist chemical degradation with nearly zero absorption, MarineLINE® helps maintain tank integrity and preserve cargo flexibility. Its advanced polymer technology supports faster, more efficient cleaning and shorter turnaround times between cargoes, helping vessels stay productive across changing trade demands.
From specialty chemicals and methanol to refined products, MarineLINE® provides consistent, long-term protection backed by extensive chemical resistance data, technical documentation, and hands-on expert support.
