Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Application and surface preparation are commonly specified to ISO 12944, ISO 8501-1, ISO 8502, and ISO 8503. Coating systems for dedicated seawater ballast tanks may require compliance with IMO PSPC MSC.215(82); approval depends on the complete coating system, not only the shop primer. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Marine coating systems may be accepted or approved for specific applications by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, or other classification societies. Approval is product-, system-, and service-specific and must be verified from current manufacturer documentation. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Remove oil, grease, salts, rust, and mill scale before application. Abrasive blast steel to the coating manufacturer's specified preparation grade and profile. Mix two-component products accurately, observe induction and pot life, and apply within the specified temperature, humidity, and recoat limits. Use compatible thinner and spray tips only as stated in the product data sheet. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect coated steel for breakdown, rust creep, mechanical damage, and contamination. Repair damaged areas by cleaning, feathering the edges, and reapplying the approved coating system. Keep containers sealed, stored within the manufacturer's temperature range, and protected from freezing and excessive heat. |
| Safety Notes | Use ventilation, protective gloves, goggles, protective clothing, and suitable respiratory protection. Zinc-containing coatings and solvent vapors can be hazardous. Keep away from ignition sources, follow the safety data sheet, control spray mist, and treat coating residues and contaminated materials as regulated waste. |
