International Paint has launched its latest Universal Primer range that will address the International Maritime Organization (IMO) performance standards for protective coatings (PSPC) and new regulations limiting Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions.rnThe IMO's PSPC will be applicable to vessel where the building contract was placed on or after 1 July 2008, or the keel was laid on or after the 1 January 2009 or the delivery is on or after 1 July 2012. The standard has been designed to extend the coating lifetime to 15 years in dedicated seawater ballast tanks and double side-skin spaces and bulk carriers.
