03010 APPROACHES FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESSFUL HIGH BUILD COATINGS ON SHARP EDGES IN SHIP'S BALLAST TANKS

Product Number: 51300-03010-SG

ISBN: 03010 2003 CP

Author: M. K. Chung, C. S. Park, C. H. Lee, K. K. Baek

In ship's ballast tanks, most of coating failures (and corrosion attacks) were observed on sharp steel edges, welds seams and weld spatters. One solution is to employ high solid coating material with less tendency to flow away from edges. In this study, two coatings are selected and evaluated in terms of their edge retention ability.

Factors Influencing Early Crack Development in Marine Cargo and ballast Tank Coatings

Product Number: 41206-265-SG

Author: George Mills, Bell Buckle, Johnny Eliasson

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Stress development in epoxy coatings applied in water ballast tanks (WBT) on ships can lead to cracking, corrosion, and failure of ship’s hulls, with catastrophic consequences to the environment as well as loss of seamen at sea. Typically, these cracks do not appear during application and curing of the coating but after some finite time of service. The financial wellbeing of the ship’s owner can suffer greatly. To avoid such cracking, it is critical to have a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms and primary controlling factors behind the coating cracks.
