Poly-Siloxane Modified Poly-Urethane based Long Life, High Gloss and Colour Retaining Coatings for Marine Applications

A ship or a marine structure operates in extremely harsh corrosive environment. Marine environment is more aggressive than most inland environments. Several areas of sea going vessel, typically consist of, the superstructure, boot-top area under splash zone, fully immersed areas such as ship-hull. It is well known now that the rate of corrosion of is generally, the highest for splash zone where it is exposed to dry and wet cycles alternately. That is why excessive corrosion takes place on boot top areas of the ship.
