Ameron Torpedo Introduces Versatile, Chemical-Resistant Tank Lining

A new high-solids, modified phenolic epoxy tank lining system has been added to the standard range of conventional and high-performance marine coatings available from Ameron Torpedo Marine Coatings.

Amercoat® 346 is a versatile tank lining said to offer excellent chemical resistance to solvents, caustic, crude and fuel oils, animal and vegetable oils and fats, and neutral, alkaline, and non-oxidizing salt solutions in water.

Amercoat 346 is also resistant to fruit juices, salt solutions, molasses, and diluted residues of molasses provided the pH of these products is between 4 and 11. Of special importance is its suitability for the transportation of methanol. Fully approved by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, the epoxy system is a tough and durable tank lining, providing good resistance to extremes of wear and abrasion.

Hot Butterworth cleaning at a maximum temperature can be performed on this tank lining as necessary to avoid contamination between different types of cargo. However, the lowest practical cleaning temperature should normally be used to extend coating life.

The Amercoat 346 is applied in three coats of 4 mils (100 microns) dry film thickness each, in sequential colors of light gray, dark gray, and light gray for wear monitoring.

Its high-solids formulation is designed for economy of application and minimum materials consumption, using standard airless or conventional spray equipment.

This new addition to the comprehensive line of more than 200 conventional and high-performance marine coatings is sold through the international network of Ameron Torpedo Marine Coatings' agents, licensees, and representatives. This network now includes more than 50 companies in more than 40 countries, including the U.S. and important European and Far East locations.
