Coatings update: new proprietary products Part 2

Abstract

An interesting new marine coating developed in Finland is particularly useful for ice‐going vessels such as ferries which operate in cold areas and ice‐breakers. Over 30 Finnish vessels have been coated with this material which is called Inerta 160 and which was developed by Teknos‐Maalit. The coating has been licensed to International Marine Coatings and is now being tested by the U.S. Coast Guard on two ice‐breakers. Additionally the coating is said to be useful for the protection of nuclear and conventional power plants, for equipment in the chemical process industry, and on transport vehicles where there is high mechanical wear.
