Steel structures are prone to corrosion throughout vessel service life. Corrosion occurs through electrochemical reaction with environment. Four essential elements: anode, cathode, metallic pathway, electrolyte
ISO 8501-3 is a visual assessment standard for steel substrate preparation. Second edition published in March 2006, replacing 2001 version. Developed by ISO/TC 35, Subcommittee SC 12 for paints and varnishes
Two-component polyamide adduct cured epoxy paint with high solids content. Forms hard, tough coating with good wetting properties. Maximum dry exposure temperature is 120°C/248°F. Available in grey shade 12170 with semi-gloss finish
Low VOC, two-component epoxy maintenance coating with high solids content. Typical thickness 100-250 microns dry, 122-305 microns wet. Volume solids 82% ± 3% depending on color. Flash point 36°C for base, 56°C for curing agent
Guide designed for professional applicators, not DIYers. Material Safety Data Sheets must be read before application. Premium systems provide abrasion, chalking and corrosion resistance
Standard specifies procedures for measuring dry film thickness on rough steel surfaces. Applies to coatings with nominal thickness of 40 µm or greater. Aims to achieve uniformity in dry film thickness measurement practice
