New Tank Coating

From Sigma —Literature Available

Sigma Coatings Marine Division, based in the Netherlands, recently introduced Sigmagard CSF, which is reported to be a new and unique answer to structural corrosion prob- lems and pitting. This new coating is reported to be able to completely stop corrosion and is particularly useful in solving cargo tank bottom pitting problems and corrosion prob- lems in water ballast tanks.

Traditionally pitting has been solved with either a pit filler or tar epoxy coating.

After a great deal of research and development, Sigma Coatings has introduced Sigmagard CSF, a sol- vent free coating. Sigmagard CSF is reported to have the following ben- efits: one coat high-build, no shrink- age, fills pits completely, stops cor- rosion, temperature resistant, good chemical resistance and spray or squeegee applied.

Sigmagard CSF is designed for application aboard existing ships, where pitting and corrosion need to be stopped, and also to new tonnage, where one coat will protect tanks from the beginning of the vessel's trading.

This new coating can be used in cargo and water ballast tanks as well as fresh water tanks, engine room tank tops and for general up- grading of high tensile steel corro- sion protection standards. This re- portedly offers convenience to ship- yards that have to apply tank coat- ings in confined spaces, like double- hull structures.
