Coatings

Corrosion severely attacks many areas of a ship, including ballast tanks and void spaces. Replacement of metal loss is expensive. Yet if these areas are left unprotected, it could dramatically shorten a ship's life.

Both MAGNAKOTE and MAGNAKOTE PLUS rust preventatives are excellent corrosion inhibitors for use in protecting ballast and void tanks. They also can be used on VLCCs, FPSOs and FSOs in the offshore industry, in void spaces created in new, double-hull vessels, etc.

DREWTAN™ RC rust converter can be used on rusted and/or sandblasted steel surfaces as a pre-painting/coating preparation. It neutralizes the corrosion process and quickly transforms iron oxides into a stable, insoluble, blue-black and metallo-organic inert surface.

DREW™ BARRIER COAT tank conditioner is an environmentally-responsible product designed to form a barrier between a tank’s surface and certain bulk cargoes, such as cement, iron ore dust, sulfur, coal and petcoke. Once cured, DREW BARRIER COAT tank conditioner forms a thin, temporary molecular barrier with the surface of the tank preventing cargoes from adhering. DREW BARRIER COAT tank conditioner provides for easy removal of residual cargo after discharge, leaving the tank ready for the next cargo.
