Marine Coating |
Marine Insulating Coating , is a coating that is exclusively designed for the harsh marine environment.
The coating is specifically formulated to provide a vessel with thermal insulation and antisweat capablities. Currently, Insulating Coating Systems is used on over 160 marine vessels from Alaska to Antarctica. It provides an excellent protection giving insulating and vapor barrier, is non-combusitble and non-flamable, and is maintenance free.
Insulating Coating Systems is designed to replace conventional insulation methods yielding the same insulational capabilities, but costing dramatically less. Many vessel owners have saved up to 50% on total installed costs over conventional insulation. Best of all, the coating can be sprayed and is extremely lightweight. This allows easy application around difficult areas such as stiffeners and tight areas.
Unlike other insulation methods, Insulating Coating Systems bonds to the substrate. This elimates development for corrosion under insulation.
Insulating Coating Systems is a composite (one-part) coating comprised of air filled ceramic and silica beads held in suspension by an acrylic binder. It applies like paint and maintainence free. Insulating Coating System is an excellent insulator requiring less time to install than conventional insulators thereby escalating construction time. The coating is water based and contains no harmful elements .

¢Æ¢Æ Benefits :
-. Insulating Coating is environmentally friendly, containing no toxic or hazardous substances or materials.
-. Insulating Coating saves total installation time when compared to conventional insulator methods. No cutting, taping or special hangers. This frees up the vessel for other fabrication.
-. Insulating Coating adheres virtually to any material and eliminates the potential for surface corrosion.
-. Insulating Coating is non-combustible, nonflammable, thermal insulation.
-. Insulating Coating is a one part coating for surface insulation, personnel protection, and corrosion protection.
-. Insulating Coating significantly reduces or eliminates the possibility of condensation.
-. Insulating Coating is lightweight (4.8 pounds per gallon). Approx 0.05lbs/sq.ft DFT.
-. Insulating Coating can be "touched up" after minor structural repairs.
-. Insulating Coating can be used much like a high build primer (sandable).
-. Insulating Coating carries a two (2) year limited warranty.
Insulation : Marine Insulating Coating can be "built up" with successive coats to increase insulating capabilities. Each coat increases the insulating capacity.
However, the first coat is the most effective. Each coat is approx. 20 mils in thickness dry. Do not exceed maximum thickenss governed by IMO and USCG. Call for details.

¢Æ¢Æ Product limitations :
|
-. Apply at temperatures above 50 Deg F. If lower, heat substrate prior to application.
-. Surface must be clean and free of rust, grease, etc.
-. Mixing - must be mixed with a "Mud" style paddle (commonly found in sheet rock applications) and 1/2" drill motor. Product should be mixed to a smooth creamy consistency on low reverse setting. Excessive mixing will greatly reduce insulating capabilities.
-. Surface must be completely dry before re-coat to insure insulating capabilities.
-. Higher temperature surfaces may expedite dry times. Low ambient temperatures require longer dry times.

¢Æ¢Æ Recommended Substrates :
|
-. Weather exposed surfaces
-. Stiffeners
-. Overheads
-. Interiors
-. Pipes
-. Walls
