Corrosion protection layer for the engine room of a large passenger ship
Task:
Transparent protective layer for floor boards.
Special Challenge:
The customer wants the protective layer to be transparent. The operators of the ship want to see whether corrosion will start again underneath the coating.
Solution:
Coating with our transparent underbody coating TimeMAX UBS Clear and our stone chip protection TimeMAX Body.
Advantage:
With the material being transparent corrosion starting underneath the protective layer can easily be detected.
In shipbuilding we normally use our products TimeMAX COLOR and TimeMAX PAINT REPAIR to paint surfaces inside and outside of the ship.
This assignment was about the coating of large surfaces of floor boards inside the ship. The special challenge: the customers wanted a transparent material. Transparent materials are not as effective as thickly applied marine colours but have the advantage that you can see whether corrosion returns.
Due to the salty marine air and the condensate here the floors are especially at risk of corrosion.
It is similar to the underbody of newly restored cars: Because the view of the sheets is not to be obstructed we applied our transparent coatings.
