Worldwide consumption of anticorrosion coatings estimated at
ca. 1.1 Millions MT, with a value of ca. $ 5 Billions in 2001.
M&PC coatings represent 4% of the global coatings volume,
but 8-9% of the total value.

4. .The role of coatings is to protect against corrosion each part of ships, which
are continuously exposed to severe conditions, i.e. sea water immersion,
splashes of sea water, UV rays

 Epoxy systems offer an outstanding balance between performances [durable
corrosion protection] and costs.

9. Paint
 Pigments: These are powders which impart colour
and hiding power to paints
 Some pigments have mainly decorative function while
others have protective function
 Few pigments have very special function, e.g cuprous
oxide, for anti-fouling paint ; leafing (flake)
aluminium reflects sunshine and reduce heating.

10. Paints:
Paints are used to protect metals, timber or
plastered surfaces, brick work and concrete
work from the corrosive effects of weather,
heat, moisture or gases etc and to improve
their appearance. Composition of the
paints can be easily adjusted in the process
of their manufacture, depending upon the
purpose for which they are required and
quality of the work required.

11.  CONSTITUENTS/ COMPOSITION OF PAINTS:
Paints essentially contain a base which provides
body, there is a carrier, also known as vehicle in
which the base is dissolved, and it is the carrier
which helps the base to spread all over when
applied. The pigments are also added to give the
desired colours. Some common examples of
substances used as base in paint are zinc white,
white lead, red lead. Common substances used as
carrier in the paints is such as, water (in water
paints), linseed oil and poppy oil etc.

12. Besides these essential ingredients, several other
substances are added, such as fillers to give bulk to
the paint without affecting its properties and to
make it economical, solvents or thinners which
dissolve other constituents and make the paint thin
and driers which help in rapid drying, setting and
hardening of the painted surface. Some commonly
used fillers for paints are chalk, silica and charcoal,
commonly used solvents are turpentine oils,
petroleum sprit, commonly used driers are red lead,
litharge and manganese sulphates etc.

13. USES OF PAINTS:
The main functions performed by paints are:
 It is used to give a high-class finish,
 It is used to give attractive colours,
 It is used to give pleasing surfaces design and
appearance,
 It is also used to protect the material from atmospheric
effects,
 To protect various substances from corrosion,
 To protect wooden articles from wet-rot and many other
types of defects,
 To make the materials long lasting.

14. PROPERTIES OF GOOD PAINTS :
The main properties of a good paint are as follows:
 It should give a thin and uniform coating.
 It should be hard and durable on drying.
 The painted surface should not crack on drying.
 It should be resistant to weathering and corrosive action.
 It should be water-repellent (except water paints).
 It should have good spread.
 It should have good adhesive power. It should give a good
finish with attractive colour, design and appearance.
 The colours should be fast and permanent.
 It should be cheap and economical.

15. Categorization of coating deficiencies:
While coating failures may occur for number of reasons,
they can generally be
categorized into four main groupings:
1.
Coating manufacturer related or caused
2.
Owner/specifier related or caused
3.
Coating applicator related or caused
4.
Environmental service related or caused.

18. Surface preparation
 Blast cleaning
 Pickling
 Flame cleaning
 Preparation by hand
 Hydroblasting

19. -
Blast Cleaning
 Most efficient method of surface preparation
 Two types of Blast equipment:
a. an impeller wheel plant where abrasives are thrown at
high velocity against the metal surface. Self contained and
collect dust and re-circulate clean abrasive – plant use
b. a nozzle type where a jet of abrasive impinges on the
metal surface – fitted with vacuum dust recovery equipment
 Cast iron and steel grits or steel shots is preferred for
metallic abrasive but non-metallic abrasives are also use.
 After blasting, brush clean surface and apply a priming coat

21. Pickling
 Immersion of metals in an acid solution
 To remove mill scale and rust from surface
 After immersion in acid , metal requires thorough hot
water rinse
 Treatment followed by application of a priming coat
Materials

22. Flame Cleaning
 To remove mill scale and rust from surface
 Does not entirely remove the mill scale and rust
 Useful for cleaning plates under inclement weather
condition, the flame drying out the plate
Materials

23. The terms water washing (usually used to remove salts,
slimes and light fouling from vessels in dry dock) and
hydroblasting (used to remove rust and paint) can
easily become confused. To clarify the situation, the
following pressure guidelines are given:
Hydroblasting / Water Jetting

24. Painting Procedures and Precautions
 Successful application of paint requires correct
technique during painting and suitable conditions
during which the application takes place
 Painting should take place in warm dry weather but not
in direct sunlight
 Presence of moisture in air or on metal surface may
damage paintwork or slow down the curing process

25. Painting Procedures and Precautions
 Principal methods of paint application are the airless
spray, the air assisted spray, the roller and the
brush
 Brush and roller is employed when the surface is rough
and small inaccessible places are to cover
 The methods is slow, labour intensive and difficult with
certain type of paints
 Air-assisted spray has been replaced by the airless spray
technique
 Airless spray is the fastest and clean method.
 Dry film thickness of up to 300 microns possible

26. Painting Procedures and Precautions
 Throughout the preparation and painting of a ship, the need
for good, safe, suitable means of access is paramount
 Freedom of movement to maintain appropriate distance for
paint spraying is essential
 Safety is required with paints.. toxic/poisonous, flammable
and irritant to skin.
 Adequate ventilation and protection necessary
 Avoid possibility of fire and explosion

28. Anti-Fouling Paints
 The ‘new’ anti-fouling technology - organometallic polymer
system (Self-polishing co-polymer)
 It incorporates an organotin toxicant.
 A large number of organotin polymers have been
synthesized.
 The coating becomes smoother with passage of time since
turbulent flow of sea water selectively removes the ‘peak’ of
the anti-fouling coating where it covers roughness in the
underlying hull surface.
 As the toxicant is an integral part of resin matrix, the length
of time during which it is active depends on the thickness of
the layer applied.
