The project also represents a major entry point for its MCPU (single component moisture cure polyurethane) coating technology in the offshore energy market, providing a field-tested alternative to conventional coating systems. A 100 µm Stelpant-PU-Zinc primer and a 200 µm Stelpant Combination 300 test patch was applied to the FSO’s chain deck, an area prone to extreme mechanical stress, heavy abrasion and extensive impact damage from anchor chains and containers. Steelpaint China supervised the airless spray application during a scheduled drydock in April at the Huarun Dadong Dockyard (HRDD) in Shanghai, China. According to Steelpaint China Managing Director Li Yinlong the application demonstrated Stelpant’s ability to easily adhere to surfaces prepared via high-pressure water washing to an Sa2 standard. “It also confirmed the system’s compatibility with existing epoxies and its high tolerance for light-to-medium flash rust.…
