Series 972
Aerolon
Generic Type
Fluid-applied acrylic insulation coating
Common Usage
An innovative anti-condensation coating specifically designed for harsh marine environments. Ideal for reducing or eliminating condensation on bulkheads, overheads, tanks, pipes, ductwork, and other areas within marine vessels. This unique, water-based formulation contains a hydrophobic resin and particle blend that produces a durable, water-resistant system with excellent adhesion and durability. Part of a corrosion-resistant coating system that reduces condensation and issues associated with corrosion under insulation (CUI). Coating film contains biocides that aid in the prevention of mold and mildew growth.
Special Qualifications
Thermal Conductivity (ASTM C518 at 77°F): 0.0392 W/m-°K or 0.2718 BTU-in/ft²-hr-°F (R value at one inch equals 3.7)
