INTRODUCTION Epo-ChemTM RA 500M is suitable for a wide range of applications, including tanks, vessel linings and deck coatings. Epo-ChemTM RA 500M is a solvent-free, wet-tolerant and highly chemical resistant epoxy single/top coat. The glassflake systems have been utilised over the last 30 years as tank lining in the most aggressive environments because they offer total barrier against moisture and corrosive ions. These are typically applied as a 1-coat system or as a top-coat on the primers with DFT of 200-300 microns. Minimum surface preparation standard required: SA2.0, WJ-2, ST3.

MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS – It has been designed to work in damp, humid and poorly ventilated areas that are typically

found in ballast tanks. – Used as a stripe coat to repair and protect high corrosion areas, i.e. welds, sharp edges and joins.

Adhesion test results on wet substrates far exceed industry norms attaining over 1300psi before cohesive failure.

– Wet-tolerant – Can be applied on wet and soaking surfaces, no requirement for any de-humidification equipment. – RA 500M is 100% solid (solvent-free), no requirement for any ventilation equipment. – Reduces the risk of MIC (Microbiological Induced Corrosion) and SRB (Sulphate Reducing Bacteria)

as it does not contain the nutrients contained in solvent-based coatings. – Excellent chemical resistance. – Coating compatible with virtually all coal tar epoxy or other traditional ballast tank coatings. – Compatible with all shop primers. – Unlimited over-coating intervals. – Fast turn-around, can be put back into service almost immediately (as soon as touch dry,

6-12 hours) the system is capable of ‘continuing’ to cure underwater. – Glassflake technology ensures superb corrosion resistance and a long service life. – Ideal for poorly and hand prepared surfaces - reducing the downtime and back-in service time. – Apply in any environmental condition, no humidity restrictions. – Zero VOC; no fire hazard or odour. – Hot-work, e.g. welding, cutting and grinding can be carried out without interruption. – No storage hazard. – Preparation and application works can be carried out by ships’ crew, riding crew, alongside quay-side or in dry-dock. – User friendly.

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY 1 – MV Bran Sands

Background:

The vessel MV Bran Sands is operated by Stephenson Clarke Shipping on behalf of Northumbria Water as an effluent carrier. The coal-tar epoxy coating applied previously to deck heads (2500m²) in effluent ballast tanks was failing and needed to be replaced. Epo-chem™ RA 500M two pack solvent-free, moisture tolerant, epoxy glassflake material offered a one coat solution that would provide a guaranteed minimum 5 year maintenance-free service with life expectancy in excess of 20 years. Specification: The following specification was utilised: • Wash down tank to remove surface contamination. • Grit blast to BS 7079, SA2½. • Clean out. • Stripe coat edges and welds. • Apply one coat Epo-chem™ RA 500M solvent-free, glassflake epoxy at 250µm by airless spray. • Inspect tank and touch up as required. Application: The duration of the contract from start to completion was 9 days. The product was applied in a single coat to the required thickness, unlike multi-coat paint system with additional problems of solvent entrapment, inter-coating adhesion, problems, contamination etc. Benefits: • The application was estimated to have saved at least 8 days of downtime, increased access and reduced manpower. • Reduced docking times compared to solvent-based coatings. • The product can cure underwater and therefore when there is a shortage of time, it can be put back into service within a short space of time without any detrimental effect to the coating. • Hot-work in adjacent tanks continued without disruption. • Reduced number of stripe coats as product has a very good edge coverage. • Reduced ventilation requirements to simple air movers rather than extraction units. • No requirement to dehumidify the tanks as product is moisture tolerant. • Improved HS&E impact to client and applicator. • Increase flexibility for painting. No need to have a specific "window" to fit around other trades.

CASE STUDY 2 – Dr Bird Generator Barge Overview The Dr Bird Generator Barge is responsible for providing electricity to Jamaica. The Generator Barge had to undergo major re-coating work and the coating had to abide by strict Health & Safety standards. The solvent-free moisture tolerant coatings from Chemco International were chosen for this application. These coatings exceeded the necessary standards and requirements. Challenge Under the Local Authority and Classification Legislation of Jamaica, the Barge had to undertake a major overhaul with steel renewals and re-coating works in the ballast tanks to update to the standards required. Solution Due to the strict Health & Safety rules and local atmospheric conditions, Chemco International 500 Series solvent-free moisture-tolerant epoxy system was specified for the work program as it met all criteria. Following steel work and tank cleaning by high pressure washing (700 bar) the Chemco International system was applied. One coat of Chemco Epo-chem™ RS 500P and one coat of Chemco Epo-chem™ RA 500M with a total DFT of 300µ. Outcome The major technical benefits offered by utilizing this system assured the client that the work was carried out safely, on time and with major cost savings for the owners. Benefits Surface preparation by water jetting. No major delays to program. Solvent-free. Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. Reduced cost of plant and equipment.

CASE STUDY 3 – Amanda C Bulk Carrier Overview Ship-management company, Norbulk Shipping, required their vessel ‘Amanda C’ to have its ballast tanks and cargo tanks repaired. Dry blasting and solvent-based coatings were not permitted. Chemco International was able to provide a solvent-free and moisture-tolerant system that lasts over 10 years.

Challenge The vessel ‘Amanda C’ was docked in Riga for extensive steel repairs to upper wing ballast/cargo tanks entailing some 11,000m² in 10 tanks. The vessel was stemmed by the charter to load cargo in Italy 45 days after leaving Riga. To prepare the tanks in the normal fashion of dry-blasting and coating with a solvent-based system was not permitted and all competition declined the contract due to time restraints.

Solution The owners decided to utilise Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M solvent-free moisture-tolerant epoxy system.

Outcome Following tank cleaning, one coat of FDA approved Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M was applied to 250µ DFT to the 11,000m² on the journey from Riga to Italy. The work program was completed in 38 days and the grain carriage was loaded in good time to meet with the time schedule. Due to the flexibility, preparation, standard and fast drying/curing of the Chemco International system, this became a very cost effective exercise with not only the vessel meeting with its obligation but the tanks’ coating will give a 10 years plus lifespan in service.

Benefits

• More work content completed due to Chemco International 500 series technology. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Protection issues. • Extremely cost effective. • One coat protects the steel substrate in excess of 10 years. • Application can be carried out in wet conditions. • No requirement for de-humidification and ventilation equipment.

Page 8 of 33

CASE STUDY 4 – Norbulk Shipping (Refrigeration Vessels) Overview Ship-management company, Norbulk Shipping, required refrigeration vessels that are continually wet, to be protected with a coating. Chemco International offered a coating that can cure/dry on wet surfaces and at less cost as no de-humidification equipment is required.

Challenge Norbulk Shipping manages a series of high-class refrigeration vessels and the hold coatings must be in first class condition to carry such cargo. The cargo holds are continually wet due to temperature differential and hence condensation and moisture occur.

Solution Chemco international Epo-chem™ RA 500M solvent-free and moisture tolerant system is FDA approved for carriage of foodstuffs. One coat @ 200µ DFT was applied to the wet bulkheads and with proven high adhesion values and fast drying/curing properties allowed quick loading of cargo to meet with the charterers’ stringent delivery programs. Outcome The client has now utilised Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M system for over four years without any mishap and has now specified this system for all refrigeration vessels in their fleet.

Benefits

• Application by crew to wet bulkheads. • No requirement for de-humidification and ventilation equipment. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. • Extremely cost effective. • One coat protects the steel substrate in excess of 10 years.

CASE STUDY 5 – Royal Navy (HMS Bristol) Overview The Royal Navy required an environmentally friendly coating for one of their vessels in UK and asked Chemco International to specify a solution.

Challenge The Royal Navy department required a fast re-fitting program for their vessel in a UK port. The enclosed tanks, i.e. water tanks, sewage tanks and ballast bilge areas, along with non-slip deck coatings, had to be re-furbished in an environmentally friendly way.

Solution Following discussions with Chemco International, the decision was taken to high-pressure wash all areas at 500 bar to remove all contaminants to a WJ4 standard in order that Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P and Epo-chem™ RA 500M, both solvent-free and moisture tolerant epoxies, could be applied to an average system DFT of 300µ. This work was given the go-ahead as no dry grit blasting or solvent-based materials were allowed. The subsequent completion of the work was accepted and passed by all relevant authorities.

Outcome Due to the quality of work, subsequent orders from the Royal Navy have materialised and expanded to other ports in the UK. Not only the quality and long-term corrosion protection of the system is significant, but the environmental issue is also of high importance.

Benefits • Local authority satisfied with environmental practices. • Naval Dockyard pleased with fast completion of works. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. • Extremely cost effective. • Chemco International system will protect the steel substrate in excess of 10 years. • Work content can take place in wet and dry conditions.

CASE STUDY 6 – Stephenson Clarke Shipping (Dallington Vessel)

Overview Stephenson Clarke manage and own bulk carriers which require fast re-fitting programs in dock to meet with the charterers’ requirements of cargo carriage.

Challenge Historically, Stephenson Clarke have utilised solvent-based systems for their ballast tanks and in particular their cargo holds. The preparation of dry-blasting to achieve a substrate for the application of solvent-based paints is both tedious and expensive and leads to slow return to service. The company have been looking for an alternative system to fast forward their re-fit programs and have turned to Chemco International for a solution.

Solution Chemco International 500 Series, solvent-free moisture tolerant technology and fast drying/curing, to be used on the cargo holds on the ‘Dallington’. The preparation was high-pressure wash followed by one coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M FDA approved for carriage of foodstuffs. The differential in cost and time was considerable and the vessel returned to service in record time. In conjunction with the hold coating, the ballast tanks were also high-pressure wash cleaned and coated with Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M @ 250µ DFT, a total area of over 10,000m² was coated and following application was ready for ballast in 24 hours and cargo carriage after 3 days. Outcome Due to the heavy docking fees and the extra time required in dock to fulfil the same project using solvent-based materials, the differential in time and cost utilising Chemco International 500 series was significant. During these operations the owners and classification society also inspected the forepeak and aft peak tanks which had been high-pressure wash cleaned and coated with Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M almost 5 years ago and the Superintendent in charge stated that these tanks were in excellent condition and this was endorsed by the Lloyds Register representative.

Benefits • Client satisfaction. • More work content completed due to Chemco International 500 series technology. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. • Extremely cost effective. • One coat protects the steel substrate in excess of 10 years, even in wet conditions. • All works carried out by high-pressure wash before application rather than costly dry blasting procedures. • No ventilation or de-humidification equipment required.

CASE STUDY 7 – Talisman Energy (Janice Oil Platform) Overview The internal floors and walls of two small ballast tanks required to be completely refurbished in a limited timescale during the maintenance shutdown. There was also a requirement for a long-term corrosion system that would last until the tank was re-opened again in 5 years time.

Challenge Working within a very tight timescale, working in a very restricted area (confined space), no blasting was permitted, continual water ingress and other contractors working near-by added to the difficulty of this project.

Solution First coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RS 500P solvent-free surface/wet tolerant epoxy system @ 150µ. Second coat of Chemco International Epo-chem™ RA 500M solvent-free wet tolerant epoxy top-coat system @ 200µ. Total DFT: 350µ

Outcome The major technical benefits offered by utilizing this system assured the client that the work was on time, in budget, with no major delays to the program and no impact on other contractors. Similar tanks on this platform will now be refurbished utilizing the Chemco International solvent-free system due to its great success.

Benefits • No disruption to other works. • No major delays to program. • Reduced Health & Safety and Fire Precaution issues. • Long-term corrosion protection. • Substantial cost savings on plant and equipment. • Many days saved.
