SECTORS C5 – CX
Commercial Marine
For ship coatings, antifouling and seawater-resistant systems, product and technical service are provided together. In the marine sector, coating performance is directly reflected in fuel consumption and dry-docking intervals.
TYPICAL LOAD · Seawater, salt spray, biofouling
RISK ANALYSIS
This is where corrosion comes from.
- Constant exposure to seawater and salt spray
- Biofouling on the underwater hull
- Constant wet-dry cycling in ballast tanks
- Limited dry-docking time
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Coating build-up.
The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.

APPLICATION AREAS
Where is it used?
Ship hulls and decks
Ballast and fuel tanks
Superstructures and funnels
Port cranes and jetty steel
Tugs and service vessels
POINTS TO NOTE
- Underwater and above-water areas require separate systems
- Curing time should be planned around the dry-docking schedule
- Ballast tank systems should be selected in accordance with the relevant rules
