Series 972
Aerolon Marine
Generic Type
Hybrid Silicone-Acrylic, Anti-Condensation Coating for Marine Environments
Common Usage
An innovative, protective, anti-condensation coating specifically designed for harsh marine environments. Ideal for reducing or eliminating corrosion caused by condensation on bulkheads, overheads, tanks, pipes, ductwork, and other areas within maritime vessels, including applications on steel and non-ferrous metal substrates. Its friendly spray-application characteristics ensure efficient production on broad, flat surfaces as well as complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas in tight, confined spaces.
Series 972 is a marine anti-sweat coating designed to control mold and moisture on vessels, including ships, ferries, tugboats, offshore vessels, and structures within commercial shipyards. This unique, water-based formulation contains a hydrophobic resin and particle blend that produce a durable, water-resistant system that reduces condensation-related hazards such as dripping, pooling, and wet surfaces. Additionally, biocides within the cured film aid in the prevention of mold and mildew growth, contributing to cleaner, more hygienic vessel interiors. The product’s exceptionally low thermal conductivity also decreases surface temperatures on metal substrates, providing safe-touch heat protection that helps lower the risk of accidental contact burns.
Part of a corrosion-resistant coating system, Series 972 helps mitigate issues associated with corrosion under insulation (CUI), and is ABS certified, IMO compliant, and USCG approved.
Special Qualifications
Thermal Conductivity (ASTM C518 at 77°F): 0.049 W/m-°K or 0.3396 BTU-in/ft²-hr-°F.
Approved by NAVSEA for Anti-Sweat under 009-32.
Series 972 complies with the requirements for Bulkhead, Wall, and Ceiling applications in accordance with FTP Code IMO Parts 2 and 5.
