INTERNATIONAL PAINT'S DURABILITY

摘要

The durability of International Paint's anticorrosive coating Intershield 300 has been proven once again. The 15- year old, 73,222 dwt Eleranta, had Intershield 300 applied when it was built in 1995. The application consisted of just two coatings of only 125 microns each. With minimal maintenance since it was first built, a Lloyd's Register class surveyor rated the double bottom tank coatings as "good." The surveyor rated the coatings condition in the starboard topside tank as "fair"—the ship's superintendent said any corrosion that was evident was largely a result of structural repairs required from stress areas, rather than breakdown of the coating.
