Did you know
- Boero Bartolomeo, the parent company, was founded in 1831 in Genoa, Italy, initially producing white lead powder. The Yachting Division, which includes tank coatings, was established in 1970.
- Tankguard BV, also referred to as BOEROGUARD, is a high-solid epoxy primer within Boero Bartolomeo's range of tank coatings, which also includes specialized coatings like Boero Fresh Water EU and Boero Grey Water.
- Tankguard BV is a two-component, high-solid, surface-tolerant epoxy primer that can be applied to various substrates both above and below the waterline, even with minimal surface preparation and in a wide range of atmospheric conditions. It is also suitable for interior coating systems requiring Low Flame Spread certification, water ballast tanks, and can be used as part of an osmosis protection system on composite hulls.
