International Paint Applies

New Coating Technology

To U.S. Marine Market —Free Literature Available—

Offering new tank coating tech- nology that greatly extends the op- erational flexibility of ship owners and operators—thereby enabling maximum flexibility of cargo car- riage—International Paint is mov- ing toward consolidating itself as a market leader in marine tank coat- ings for the U.S.

The new tank coating technology developed by International Paint, a subsidiary of Courtaulds Coatings, the international chemicals and in- dustrial company, has been engi- neered over the past four years.

With this technology, the company has become one of the major players in the highly specialized area of car- go tank coatings.

International Paint currently is a leader in the newbuilding market worldwide for tank coatings with a share of almost one-third of all ves- sels contracted.

International Paint, already a leader in the U.S. in marine coating sales, has only recently stepped up its tank coating activities in the U.S. market.

A special unit, headed by market manager Glen Dempsey, has been formed to promote International's range of tank coatings and special- ized products, led by the advanced

Interchem TC 900 Series and the

Intergard TH 700 Series. U.S. pro- duction of the Intergard TH 700

Series is scheduled to begin later this year at International's Houston,

Texas, facility, which is one of the largest marine manufacturing plants in the U.S.

Mr. Dempsey points out that the advanced products improve profit potential for ship owners and operators through extending flexi- bility in the range of cargo carried.

He says the new technology present in the Interchem TC 900 and Inter- gard TH 700 Series makes this pos- sible and yields the additional bene- fits of greater ease of application and cleaning between cargoes com- pared with similar tank coating sys- tems. Mr. Dempsey notes that the

Interchem TC 900 series, as an am- bient cured material, offers a range of cargo carriage previously avail- able only with products that re- quired post-heat curing.

While both series continue to in- crease their market share in the U.S. and worldwide, International's product development team has fur- ther enhanced the performance and appeal of the two systems.

Through gaining compliance on

U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules and regulations, Intergard TH 700 Series now gives ship owners and operators the flexibility to trade in refined vegetable oils for the U.S. market as well as white oils and a good range of aggressive chemicals on the world spot market. This greatly increases the potential of the

International notes that further improvements have been made to the Intergard TH 700 Series, which they describe as the premier epoxy tank coating system. Intergard TH 700 Series may now be applied and overcoated at temperatures as low as 42 degrees F without compromis- ing the drying and curing properties of the film or impairing its cargo carriage capability.

Company officials say that Inter- national's newest tank coating sys- tem, Interchem TC 900 Series, is becoming firmly established as the premium tank coating system for chemical carriers. The company be- lieves that the system offers the widest spectrum of cargo carriage currently available from any am- bient cured organic tank coating system and the most flexible car- riage sequencing options.

International's Interchem TC 900

Series has been upgraded since its introduction last year. Further ex- haustive cargo sequence testing has been carried out to evaluate its wide spectrum cargo capability. This has resulted in the lifting of restrictions on some aggressive cargoes such as

Styrene Monomer, Benzene and

Methyl Isoamly Ketone. In addi- tion, the period of carriage and recovery of aggressive cargoes has been considerably eased to take into account customer requirements for longer carriage periods or more rap- id turnaround between cargoes.

International envisions further product tailoring with both premi- um systems as the company contin- ues to work toward meeting custom- er requirements for even greater flexibility in cargo carriage.
