Thermal insulation and marine protection of ship structures

Salt atmosphere, constant humidity and unshaded sun are the harshest test for any coating system — at sea a wrong choice shows within one season.

What it solves

Decks and superstructures overheat, and the compartments beneath them become unusable without heavier cooling. The coating reflects radiation and reduces heat transfer into the compartments, with a primer and topcoat system built for marine service.

Navy vessels in India

The system was applied on naval ships — a client where thermal protection of compartments and coating durability are checked against a specification, not an impression.

Condensation in enclosed spaces

In ship compartments condensate is a constant. Raising the inner surface temperature above the dew point stops dripping from the deckhead and wetting of equipment.

A system for salt exposure

For metal a two-pack marine primer is used, with a two-pack marine topcoat over it. The combination is built for permanent exposure to salt humidity.

Surface preparation

At sea, surface preparation governs the life of the system more than the coating itself. Every quotation carries the preparation requirement with it, because without it a guarantee means nothing.
