What's on the surface will wash off -

Protecting what's underneath is what counts /

Balloxy HB Light for optimum ballast tank protection

Like the human body, Balloxy HB Light provides a tough, flexible, impenetrable barrier - dirt just washes off leaving what is underneath as good as new.

In the ballast tank photo shown below, there is only dirt to be seen.

After one year in service the Balloxy HB Light underneath is in excellent condition - no flaking, no blistering, no delamination and no corrosion. (Above) Sacrificial anodes give added protection to ballast tanks.

Coatings combined with cathodic protection is recognised to be the most effective method of ballast tank protection.
