INTRODUCTION Epo-ChemTM RS 500P is a solvent-free, wet-tolerant, rust-tolerant primer or primer-finish epoxy system. The use of special sacrificial fillers enables the system to be applied to surface standards as low as WJ-4, ST2. The system’s long-term performance is based on total sealing (porous-free film) and arresting the rust totally. They are typically applied as a 1 coat system which can be over coated by itself or with the top-coat Epo-ChemTM RA 500M.

MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

– Unique, 100% solid wet-tolerant and rust-tolerant primer or primer-finish epoxy system.

– Flexibility on the surface preparation standards or method i.e.

the most convenient method depending on availability or cost

e.g. grit blast, wet blast, HP water jetting (500-800 bars), UHP

or mechanical (ST2-ST3).

– Apply in any environmental condition, no humidity restrictions.

– Ideal for tank lining or confined spaces.

– No over-coating limitation.

– No requirements for de-humidification, ventilation or heating

(substantial cost savings).

– Reduced H&S and fire precaution.

– Long-term corrosion protection (new MIO-Zinc technology).

– Excellent adhesion to rusty or poorly prepared and wet surfaces

(>1200psi).

– One coat (without the top-coat) protects the substrate in excess of 10 years (independent test

certificates available).

BRIEF SUMMERY This is a solvent-free primer that is truly wet-tolerant and rust-tolerant to the extent that it can be applied on really wet, rusty (ST2 or better) surfaces with excellent results. It can typically be applied as a one-coat system by itself or with the glassflake top-coat. Having unlimited over-coating, it is also ideal for start/stop maintenance programmes throughout the vessel with the added advantage of having no solvent present. The main advantage of the system is that it basically can be employed for any method of surface preparation i.e. hand/mechanical, water blast or dry grit blast.

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY 1: P&O CRUISES / CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES Overview The technical department of P&O Cruise Lines required a coating that could be applied without disrupting operations. It was decided to trial Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P on the ‘Artemis’ in the engine room under the gratings. In addition, it was agreed that this would be an excellent test area to complete at sea. Following the trials of the Chemco International coatings onboard the ‘Artemis’, it was proven that the system successfully met the technical requirements and was specified for follow-up work on the vessel ‘Arcadia’ whilst on its refit docking program. Challenge Traditional solvent-based coatings cause problems as the strong fumes released can affect large concentrations of crew, passengers and contractors on board the vessel. As an alternative, with docking time at a premium, the Chemco International solvent-free system met all criteria. Solution Chemco International 500 Series was ideal for the ’Arcadia’ refit docking program. The properties of this system benefit P&O Cruise Lines as it can be applied on minimum surface preparation (WJ-4/ST2), it is solvent-free and completely moisture-tolerant. Within two weeks, some 4,000m² was prepared and coated in voids, cofferdams and ballast tanks. Due to the additional benefits of the product, extra work could be undertaken on decks and engine room floor with no interruption to workers in the vicinity of the coating applications. Specification Areas of repair were prepared by high pressure water wash cleaning (500-800 bar) to a surface standard WJ4. This was followed by one stripe coat and one full coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P @ 200µ applied by brush, roller and spray.

Outcome P&O Cruise Lines were completely satisfied as no downtime occurred due to the technology of the Chemco International product and the results were outstanding. The decision by P&O Cruise Lines technical staff confirmed that not only was the Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P environmentally friendly, it also contributed to major cost savings. This was due mainly to the fast-dry curing properties of the system, allowing work to continue throughout the ship quickly, safely and without any disruptions to crew or passengers. Benefits

• Client satisfaction. • Extremely cost effective. • No grit blasting. • No downtime. • No dew point restrictions. • No expensive de-humidification equipment. • All work was carried out by high-pressure water wash (500-800 bars) before application. • Solvent-free coating, no odour affecting the crew and passengers. • One coat protects the steel substrate in excess of 10 years, in wet or dry conditions.

CASE STUDY 2: RO-RO FERRY AQUAE

CLIENT: NORBULK SHIPPING Overview Ship-management company, Norbulk Shipping, required a coating with a fast turnaround for their Ro-Ro ferry service from Marseilles to North Africa where carriage of heavy traffic and fast turnaround is vital.

Challenge The main traffic deck had severely deteriorated due to weathering and lack of maintenance. Norbulk Shipping required a system that would achieve speed and a fast return to in-service duties.

Solution Norbulk Shipping decided to utilise Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P solvent-free, moisture tolerant system. An excellent adhesion to high-pressure washed surfaces with fast drying/curing properties and good abrasive resistance. One coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P @ 200µ DFT was applied.

CASE STUDY 3: JANICE OIL PLATFORM – BALLAST TANK

CLIENT: TALISMAN ENERGY Overview The internal floors and walls of two small ballast tanks required to be completely refurbished in a limited timescale during the maintenance shutdown. There was also a requirement for a long-term corrosion system that would last until the tank was re-opened again in 5 years time.

Challenge Working within a very tight timescale, working in a very restricted area (confined space), no blasting was permitted, continual water ingress and other contractors working near-by added to the difficulty of this project.

Solution First coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P solvent-free surface/wet tolerant epoxy system @ 150µ. Second coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M solvent-free wet tolerant epoxy top-coat system @ 200µ. Total DFT: 350µ

Outcome The major technical benefits offered by utilizing this system assured the client that the work was on time, in budget, with no major delays to the program and no impact on other contractors. Similar tanks on this platform will now be refurbished utilizing the Chemco International solvent-free system due to its great success.

Benefits • No disruption to other works. • No major delays to program. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. • Long-term corrosion protection. • Substantial cost savings on plant and equipment. • Many days saved.
