SECTION V - Summary
Conventional Technology
Basic – Why coat a tank?
Integrity of steel / ships
structural strength
Preservation of cargo
Operational concerns
Conventionalt Technology
What were the industry choices?
Zinc Silicates mainly for
solvents
Epoxy / Phenolic Epoxy for
chemicals
Stainless Steel for more
aggressive chemicals
But there were operational
limitations. What were
these?
Zinc Silicate Coating’s intolerance to
multiple cargoes
Not Resistant to Acids,
Caustics, & Acidic Oils
Absorbs Cargo Quickly
Retains Oil Like Cargoes
Subsequent Cargo
Contamination
Limits Back Hauling Capability
Phenolic Epoxy Coating’s intolerance
to multiple cargoes
Not Resistant to Strong
Solvents and Acids
Absorbs some cargoes to High
Levels
Releases Absorbed Cargo Very
Slowly
Small Traces May Be Retained
Leading to Cargo Contamination
Warnings in Marine Publications

SECTION V - Summary
MarineLine Technology
The alternative now available?
MarineLine 784 – Developed
from patented Siloxirane 28
Polymer
Now a look at the differences.
MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:1
It is resistant to all IMO
Cargoes
It therefore gives
unprecedented flexibility to
accept all cargoes available in
the market
MarineLINE Technology
Polymer Technology Comparison
Epoxy
MarineLine
2 Functionality
28 Functionality
4 Crosslinks
784 Crosslinks
Higher Cross Link Density results in
excellent Chemical Resistance
Performance Comparison
Benefits of MarineLine
Cargo Versatility
• Resistance Comparison of 124
Commonly Carried Cargoes
•MarineLine Resists all IMO Cargoes
MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:2
It is highly impermeable & is
smoother than phenolics and
stainless steel
There is lesser clingage and
cleaning is much faster. In
most cases cleaning time can
be halved.

MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:3
The coating is fully cured the
moment recoating is completed
It provides flexibility to load
all cargoes as soon as the
vessel leaves the repair facility
MarineLINE Application
Heat Curing
Heat Curing on
Deck Tanks
MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:4
The coating can tolerate the
admission of water after
carriage of chlorinated and
brominated cargoes
Ventilation after discharge is
not required. Cleaning is
shortened and simplified
MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:5
APC has established a field
control group to project
manage the application
The complete inspection of all
functions from surface prep to
heat curing provides
customers with guaranteed
long term performance
MarineLINE Application
THE FCG ADVANTAGE
A “Field Control Group” provides the ship owner
with APC’s in house Project Management:
Surface Contamination Test
DH and Humidity Test
Surface profile test
Verification of SA 2.5
Dry film thickness test
100% pinhole test @ 3000 volts
Solvent wipe test
Heat Curing
The Single Source Responsibility permits a
full 5-year guarantee backed by an insurance policy
MarineLine Technology
What is different?
Difference No:6
Coating life far exceeds zinc silicates
and epoxies
Coating life depends on product
cycling and aggressiveness of cargo.
Accepted lifespan of zinc coatings is 9
years and epoxies is 6 years.
MarineLine has lasted 13 years without
problems.

SECTION V - Summary
Summary
Reality / Conclusions
In Newbuilds it Greatly Reduces your
Capital Investment
It is the most versatile coating allowing
carriage of all IMO cargoes
Due to shorter cleaning days it reduces
your turnaround time giving additional
revenue earning days
Ideal for tanks which store slops where
mixtures of all other cargoes have to be
accommodated
Summary
Reality / Conclusions
Performance far superior to other proven
products in the Cargo Tank Coating Industry
Advanced Polymer Coating’s in house
management provides assurance that
application is properly done
Full five year guarantee
