Coatings are important instruments in inhibiting the corrosion rate. Field facts various Indonesian shipping industries show that choice of organic materials as coating for ship paint uses epoxy, vinyl and polyurethane. Therefore an experimental study is needed on adhesion ability a armor with these three types materials. The preparation steel specimens type ASTM A36 carried out by blasting, vi...

Antifouling paints are applied to prevent the growth of marine biofouling. In Indonesia, that paint is widely used for ship which commonly copper-based biocide. fact, there no or little comprehesive studies on antifouling in Indonesia compared other tropical countries. this study, evaluation performance was carried out where anticorrosion  paint and bare steel were also studied as references. T...

During ship block construction, watertight bulkheads weld of every cabin ships need to undergo stress testing according the tanks’ test plan. Every incomplete bulkhead cannot be sprayed in order protect them after sandblasting; this seriously affects process construction. Therefore, issue study is maintain integrity painting quality and reduce destruction paint, ship-building personnel seek how...

Marine biofouling, growth on submerged surfaces, is a problem for the commercial shipping industry but also for recreational boat owners. It leads to increased fuel consumption, loss of maneuverability and is a source of invasive species. The common solution to avoid biofouling is to use antifouling paints containing biocides which hinder the fouling organisms from growing on the ship hull. Med...
