Barrier Coating
Barrier Coating is an environmentally and user-friendly product. Safe on most surfaces and has no effect on rubber or plastic components.
Product description
BARRIER COATING is a product that provides a barrier between the cargo hold and the cargo surface.
The water-based coating protects and preserves the deck and cargo holds of vessels by depositing a thin protective film, creating a virtually non-stick surface. The barrier allows for quicker, easier cleanup after discharging your cargo.
This has been successfully field tested and proven to work on the deck and cargo holds of vessels. The product is environmentally and user-friendly, it is non-staining, solvent-free, safe on nearly any surface sprayed, and will not contaminate the exposed cargo.
Directions for use
- Before applying BARRIER COATING, the surface must be clean from any residues from previous cargo.
- The product is used neat and can be applied with low-pressure spraying equipment. One litre of BARRIER COATING will cover about 15 – 20 m2.
- Allow the product to dry before loading cargo. Drying time: 1 – 3 hours depending on the air temperature and humidity.
- A thin temporary film is created on the surface.
- After unloading the cargo, the film can be easily removed with fresh/demineralised water. In the event of cargo deposits, an acidic/alkaline cleaning might be necessary.
Standard packing
BARRIER COATING is usually available in plastic cans of 25 l and plastic drums of 200 l.
