VINIKOR-marin AF — tin-free antifouling enamel for ships and fixed structures
Antifouling enamel without organotin compounds for low- and medium-speed ships and fixed structures; applied from −5 °C.

A reinforced-type epoxy coating for the internal surface of steel storage tanks, containers, tank cars and process pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Solids are about 90 % by volume; the material is applied in one coat by airless spray without thinning. The coating is resistant to crude and commercial oil, fuel oil, liquefied hydrocarbons, bottom water and sea water, methanol and ammonia; the operating temperature is up to +80 °C for crude oil and dark petroleum products and up to +90 °C for fuel oil and bitumen, and the predicted service life is 20 years.
