too limited time for cleaning / ventilation tank top of COT: Sulphur Reducing Bacteria ageing of coating deckhead pit corrosion on tank top fast deterioration of zinc silicate
- under discussion with Neil Barnes to organise cargo tank coating training for Riga office in the near future
Tankguard Zinc
The renew zinc silicate tank coating
Introduction of an upgraded zinc silicate tank coating Substantially improved resistance to mud cracking
Mud-crack Resistance over 200 microns

free fatty acid
The amount of fatty acids being freed is expressed in a percentage: % FFA free fatty acid
Resistance to ethanol (may) require(s) a phenolic epoxy esp. for long term performance of the coating system.
The addition of FAME to diesel. This is basically not a challenge, provided that the FFA-% is not too high (but this is probably not allowed within the specifications). Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
+ 3 H3CO-R
fatty acid methyl ester
This process is called transesterfication and is predominantly done to lower the viscosity.

Chemical Resistance
Often the main deciding factor when selecting a tank coating. Extensive exposure testing has been performed - comparison with bench mark product
- wide range of curing conditions including varying post-curing - a long list of chemicals tested - cyclic testing
