SOFEISATION (St2 + R101 Colourless + R101 Aluminium)  | This vessel is a 30,000 tons cargo vessel. Sofeisation® (St2 + R101 Colourless + R101 Aluminium) was specified to treat/protect the seven holds including coamings and hatch covers. The total area treated was well over 20,000 m² (215,000 sq.ft.). |  | All surfaces to be treated were first power-washed by hydro-jet (approx 150kg / cm²). After power-washing, the degree of corrosion was assessed by the supervisor of the vessel, the IHI painting crew of and the Sofrap/TBK technical crew. |  | In most of the holds, the bottoms of the bulkheads (walls between holds) were heavily corroded.
|  | Surface preparation is equivalent to St2 (Hand Tool Cleaning – International Standards). |  | Bearing in mind that Sa 2.0 / 2.5 is essential with the normal anti-corrosive primers, considerable saving in time, labour and money will be achieved with Sofeisation®. |  | The painting crew is treating the surfaces with R101 Colourless by means of airless spray gun (pressure: 2.0 – 2.5 kg/cm²). The material has a low viscosity and is very easy to spray. |  | In this picture, surfaces are already treated with R101 Colourless. R101 Aluminium will be used the following day. |  | The surfaces were finished with R101 Aluminium. Sofeisation® treatment is over. It is recommended to wait 2-3 days of total polymerization prior to use the holds. Next maintenance: Damaged area - where oxidation appears, will be treated directly with R101 Aluminium to reconstitute the protection. |
