Description
Abrasion-resistant ice coating for ice-trading vessel hull protection (since 1972)
Did you know
- Intershield 163 Inerta 160 is an abrasion-resistant ice coating that has a track record of over 47 years, with its development dating back over 30 years. It was specifically designed for vessels operating in ice-going conditions, particularly in regions like the Baltic Sea.
- Intershield 163 Inerta 160 is a specialized abrasion-resistant epoxy within International (AkzoNobel)'s range, specifically formulated for ice-going vessels. In contrast, Intershield 300 is a broader abrasion-resistant aluminum pure epoxy coating that serves as a universal primer for various applications, including atmospheric, submerged, deck, and tank areas, and is not limited to ice-going vessels.
- This coating is chosen for its ability to provide corrosion protection and maximize icebreaking efficiency in extreme low temperatures, down to -50°C. Its smooth surface assists ice slip, resists ice adhesion, and offers low frictional resistance, which contributes to fuel savings and improved operational efficiency.
| Model | Primary Use | Volume Solids | VOC Content (EPA Method) | Minimum Application Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intershield 163 Inerta 160 | Ice-going vessels (corrosion protection, icebreaking efficiency) | 95% ±2% | 40 g/lt | 0°C (for newbuilding, with 2 months cure) / 10°C (for maximum performance ambient curing) |
| Intershield 300 | Universal primer (atmospheric, submerged, deck, tank applications) | 60% ±2% | 386 g/lt | -15°C |
