The Euronavy Case

Euronavy developed a unique coating system. The ES301 solvent-free
epoxy series system joins low-VOC, surface and humidity tolerance, edgeretention and outstanding anticorrosive properties and adhesion to the
substrate in an unique way. Such features are helping Euronavy customers
to adopt hydroblasting as a safe and environmentally preferable surface
preparation method.

EURONAVY REFERENCE LIST

Marine & Offshore
June 2008
SUMMARY
This document is attaching a list of main offshore and marine industries projects that adopted Euronavy
coating systems (Appendix 1). The listed projects account for more than six million square meters of
steel treated with over four million litres of ES301 solvent-free products since year 2000 only.
Accounting with older marine & offshore projects using ES301 since early 90s, with the dispersed sale of
these products for numerous OEMs and contractors and with the sales for on-shore industrial uses
(including oil & gas and energy industries, steel bridges and other steel structures), Euronavy estimates
that over eleven million square meters of steel have been protected with ES301 systems since this
type of products have been developed.
For each project, the table details the project type and data such as type and dimension (m2) of areas
coated, surface preparation method(s) and year and place of application. These projects include
maintenance & repair, conversion and new building jobs. All the projects used ES301 solvent-free surface
& humidity tolerant coatings as main anticorrosive system. Ultra High Pressure hydroblasting was widely
used as surface preparation method.
Apart from the attached reference list, a summary of the action that took place with Euronavy systems in
some major clients is given.
An ES301-based coating system as been Type Approved as IMO PSPC1 compliant. The IMO PSPC is the
new set of rules for the protective coatings selection and application for ballast tanks at new building
stage. Being one of the first coating systems being Type Approved under such stringent prequalification
rules enables Euronavy to positioning itself in the front row of the marine new building market for
protective coatings. The results of such positioning will surely be reflected in this reference list in a near
future.
IMO PSPC refers to the Resolution MSC.215(82) of IMOs Maritime Safety Committee adopted on 8 December 2006, designated
PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR DEDICATED SEAWATER BALLAST TANKS IN ALL TYPES OF

US NAVY (USA)
ES301 coating system was one of the few coating systems going through extensive evaluation since
1994, when DoD Department NAVSEA 05M launched a Program aimed to review all blasting and painting
procedures for US Navy and US Coast Guard, in order to improve the service life of traditional coating
protection being applied so far. As a result, NAVSEA has already published extensive new specifications
for coating onboard US Navy and US Cost
Guard ships and is now trying to disseminate
the new standards through the US Navy fleet.
ES301 was approved for the most demanding
areas and is listed in the Advanced Coatings
List by Navsea. ES301 is approved as a 20
years service life coating system for ballast
tanks, is the only system approved for ballast
tanks when hydroblasting is to be used as
surface preparation and is approved by the
most stringent standard for coating
qualification for ships: the MIL-PRF 23236C
standard.
The information regarding the several ships
using ES301 (for ballast tanks, bilges and
other areas where it is approved for use) is
not available. Nevertheless, abundant
technical information and some inspection
reports by independent sources can be
supplied in separate.
PEMEX (MEXICO)
Euronavy products are included in PEMEX Standards &
Specifications for Anticorrosive Protection. Oil rig PSS
Chemul (Mobile, AL, USA, 2005) is a recent example, ES301
system being used for a full refurbishment and life extension
project. Pemex is also using ES301 for general maintenance
onboard ships and offshore platforms in Gulf of Mexico.

Transpetro is the Petrobras-owned oil&gas products transportation company and manages a fleet of
product carriers. Transpetro is using ES301 coating system for a few years
now, mostly for ballast and cargo tanks repair. One good example is the
crude cargo tanks of MT Ataulfo Alves, fully refurbished in 2002 using
MT Cartola cargo tanks, after
hydroblasting and ES301 coating system. An inspection performed in 2008
treatment in 2002
by ABS, more than 5 years after coating application, found the surface in
pristine condition, proving the outstanding performance of Euronavy ES301
coating system for anticorrosive protection.

AKER
Aker Floating Production ASA, a subsidiary
of Aker Group, launched recently his FPSO
conversion program. The first FPSO being
converted by Aker is the Aker Smart 1. This
project started in 2007 at Jurong Shipyard
in Singapore and Euronavy was chosen as
single coating supplier for the hull
Aker Smart 1, deck coating

system, hydroblasting is being used as the
main surface preparation method for this
project. The scope of supply includes
Aker Smart 1
modules fabrication in Malaysia and
Indonesia, apart from the activities in Singapore. The Aker Smart 1
FPSO is due to sail from Singapore in July 2008.
BP
BPs Thunder Horse semisub, offshore in the Gulf of
Mexico, used ES301 system for deck refurbishment. It was
applied in 2006 using UHP hydroblasting as surface
preparation method. The advantage of the system was
well perceived in such a situation: the painting job was
performed during the night, with very high humidity levels.
This humidity tolerance feature, together with the ability
of reaching effective adhesion values over surfaces with
reduced profile of roughness, have been the main causes
for the adoption of ES301 technology.

MORE EXAMPLES
Apart from the examples mentioned above, Euronavy is supplying a growing number of marine and
offshore clients. The biggest ever seagoing ballast tank repair, for example, with over 500,000 m2 of steel
being treated since 2003, is being done using ES301 coating system, applied by a Norwegian contractor
and Mobil saw ES301 coating system being applied for the refurbishment of ballast tanks and cargo
tanks of their Zaphiro Producer FPSO, offshore West Africa. Many companies engaged in the supply chain
of marine and offshore projects (OEMs, steel
structures construction yards, etc) are also
joining the list of Euronavy clients at an
increasing pace. Euronavy coating materials
are being shipped to virtually every corner of
the earth, to be used by steel construction
yards in Brazil, Malaysia or Indonesia, valve
manufacturers in Europe or Navy suppliers in
USA or Japan. New clients are being
conquered, like SBM (using ES301 system for
the full refurbishment of two single buoys at
Brasfels shipyard in Brazil). The likes of Rolls
Royce, GE Oil&Gas (Nuovopignone), or
Halliburton are also part of Euronavy list of
clients. Its the Euronavy vision being
increasingly adopted by the marine & offshore
industries.

The US Navy Case

ES301 coating system was one of the few coating systems going through
extensive evaluation since 1994, when DoD Department NAVSEA 05M
launched a Program aimed to review all blasting and painting procedures
for US Navy and US Coast Guard, in order to improve the service life and
environmental compliance of traditional coating protection being applied so
far. ES301 is approved for the most demanding areas and is listed in the
Advanced Coatings List by Navsea. ES301 is presented as a 20 years
service life coating system for ballast tanks, is the only system approved
for ballast tanks when hydroblasting is to be used as surface preparation
and is approved by the most stringent standard for coating qualification for
ships: the MIL-PRF 23236C standard. In the path for approval, ES301
behaviour was inspected onboard USS Belleau Wood and USS Detroit and
extensive testing was done as per MIR-PRF 23236C requisites.

Executive Summary
Corrosion Engineering Services (CES), Inc., was tasked by the Commander,
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) to document the 24-month
in-service assessment of the test application of the EURONAVY ES-301K / ES301S, 100% solids coating system. Seawater ballast tanks 4-113-2-W, 6-113-0W, and 6-117-0-W on the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3) were selected for the
application. This test was to evaluate surface preparation utilizing UHP water
blasting followed by application of ballast tank coatings. The original application
was accomplished from April 19th through June 19th, 2000 while the ship was
waterborne, pierside in Sasebo, Japan. CES photographed and documented the
ballast tank conditions as of February 2002. Due to a high level of water in tank
4-113-2-W, only tanks 6-113-0-W and 6-117-0-W were inspected.
The purpose of this test was to evaluate surface preparation by utilizing UHP
water blasting. Use of EURONAVY 301 paint system was chosen because of its
tolerance to high humidity and moisture. The ballast tanks selected for this
procedure were heavily corroded and contaminated with the existing coating
system applied approximately 9 to 10 years ago.
When inspected the ship was docked at Naval Station San Diego, California. A
NACE-certified inspector conducted a visual inspection of the Euronavy paint
system. The inspection revealed the paint system to be in excellent condition.
Coatings breakdown was estimated at of 1% in the tanks inspected. Some
edges showed corrosion due to mechanical/impact damage. Areas inspected
show adequate coverage and adherence in areas where heavy pitting was
visible. Overall these tanks were in excellent condition and showed no signs of
premature coating failure. The ability to perform ballast tank preservation while
pierside (vice in drydock; a less costly alternative to drydocking), the use of UHP
waterjetting for surface preparation, and the surface and moisture-tolerant
coating system are providing excellent service life benefits to the ballast tanks
assessed and to the Navy.

USS Detroit in Drydock at Metro Machine Corporation of Pennsylvania February 2000
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corrosion Engineering Services, Inc. (CES) was tasked by the
Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) to
document the one-year follow-up inspection of the bilges in MMR-1,
6-198-0-E, and MMR 2, 6-220-0-E, on USS Detroit (AOE 4). The
EURONAVY S 100% Solids Epoxy system was the coating applied
to the bilges in April 2000. CES photographed and documented the
bilge conditions as of May 2001 while the ship was inport Naval
Weapons Station, Earl, New Jersey. Application was accomplished
in MMR-1 (6-198-0-E): Center, Port Wing and Starboard Wing MMR2 (6-220-0-E): Center, Port Wing and Starboard Wings. The USS
Detroit was in availability at Metro Machine Corporation of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
The scope of work delineated by the SUPSHIP Specification: Bilges
are defined as that area of a compartment from the inner bottom
plating to the top of the existing bilge red/white line located above the
lower level deck plates. Included is shell plating and attached
structural members, bulkheads, tank top plating and manhole covers,
bilge wells and sumps, foundations, floor plates/gratings and support
structure, piping and associated support structure, valves, and
normally painted equipment therein.
Metro Machine Corporation of Pennsylvania served as the prime
contractor and also accomplished the in process control and
documentation. United Coatings Corporation (UCC) of Portsmouth,
Virginia performed the work for Metro Machine Corporation.
SUPSHIP Portsmouth, Colts Neck Detachment, administered the
contract and served as the NAVSEA/TYCOM authorized
representative with technical authority, as required by the Task Group
Instruction. Corrosion Engineering Services (CES) only observed the
checkpoints.
NAVSEA Task Group Instruction 631-63111-002 Rev -, Bilge
Preservation - Euronavy ES 301 (all K formula) was specified by
SUPSHIP Specifications 631-31-001: Machinery Room Number 2
Bilges; inspect, repair, and preserve; and 631-31-002: Machinery
Room Number One Bilge; inspect, repair, and preserve. The
specification was modified to use the Euronavy S formula for stripe
coat and topcoat in accordance with NAVSEA TGI 631-63111-004:

Notes:
1) Total film thickness requirement is 10-14 mils DFT.
2) Stripe coat must cover and hide the prime coat.
The prime contractor, Metro Machine Corp, provided quality

assurance. Oversight was provided by SUPSHIP Portsmouth: Colts
Neck, N.J detachment. CES acted as observer only.
Due to a large amount of steel, piping and system repairs required
throughout these bilges, the surface preparation was accomplished,
repairs made, and then the surfaces were re-prepared and coated.
The project was completed in April 2000 and the spaces were turned
over to Ships Force.
The Euronavy coating system is in excellent condition
throughout MMR-1 and MMR-2 with less than of 1 %
corrosion, primarily mechanical damage. The USS Detroit utilizes
1200 Lb. steam plants and these bilges have routine contact daily
with steam, salt water, and oil. The crew has had to perform zero
maintenance on the bilge coating system. The only complaint the
crew has concerning the Euronavy coating system is the difficulty
encountered in removing the coating from nuts, bolt heads and
fasteners requiring disassembly. This is an indication of the excellent
adhesion of the coating system.

EURONAVY S.A.
US NAVY approved ES301 in

accordance with
MIL-PRF-23236C standard
Washington D.C., USA, 2005-12-30
The double coat ES301+ES301S systems was approved in accordance with the highly
demanding MIL-PRF-23236C standard (Performance Specification - Coating Systems For Ship
Structures), issued by the North American Department of Defence (DoD-NAVSEA), this being
the main reference in the US Navy for the selection of modern protective coating systems for its
fleets. The ES301 systems were approved as Type VII for a number of different classes and
grades and were included on the last issue of the Qualified Products List published by NAVSEA
(QPL-23236-75, 30-12-2005, attached).
The approval includes the authorization for production at EURONAVY Plant in Setbal,
Portugal. This site is the only approved manufacturing plant outside the United States of
America.
Its classification as Type VII recognizes the system as having no solvent added in its
composition and in line with the more demanding environmental rules for this type of products.
The classes for which EURONAVY requested and received certification are Class 7 (ballast
tanks), Class 15b (system may be applied on humid surfaces) and Class 17 (bilges). At present
date (30-12-2005), the EURONAVY system is the sole system approved for Classes 15b and 17
as per QPL-23236-75.
Two types of ES301 systems were approved:

Glossary of Definitions & Tests as per MIL-PRF 23236C Standard, 12/08/2003

TYPE:
Type VII: A coating system having a maximum VOC content of 150 g/L (1.25 lb/gal) of coating,
except for classes requiring use of an inorganic binder shop primer (see 3.2.2.2 and 6.6.5).
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in the solvent will not exceed VOC levels (see 3.2.2.3). Use of
pigments that are hazardous to workers or create hazardous waste is restricted to trace levels
(see 3.2.3.2). May be used in any air quality management district regulating VOC. Dry coating
is not a hazardous waste under USEPA regulations. Coatings proposed for qualification testing
to this Type have no solvent added to either the base resin component or the hardener
component.
CLASS:
Class 7 - A coating system without a shop primer (see 6.6.5) for use in dedicated seawater
ballast tanks. Class 7 coatings are not for use in tanks that may be used for freshwater, potable
water, fuels, or other hydrocarbons.
Class 15b - A coating system intended as a repair or touch-up coating, without a shop primer,
for use over wet surfaces that are prepared to bare metal surfaces where the paint has been
removed to the bare metal substrate.
Class 17 - A coating system without a shop primer intended for use on properly cleaned and
prepared bilge surfaces.
GRADE:
Grade B - A coating system which is to be applied, and cured at temperatures above 32 F (0
C) up to 49 F (10 C).
Grade C - A coating system which is to be applied and cured at a temperature above 50 F (11
C).
IMMERSION RESISTANCE TESTS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL AS CLASS 7
BALLAST TANKS
The following page presents an excerpt of the MIL-PRF236C standard (please find the complete
text in the attached document) describing the immersion cyclic tests used for approval as Class
7 coating system. Paragraph 3.9.3 lists the conditions that should be observed after the cyclic
immersion tests (pinholes, rusting, blistering, etc). Paragraph 4.5.2.2. describes the two
alternative immersion tests that can be used for the approval. ES301 coating system was tested
accordingly to the Cycle A described at paragraph 4.5.2.2.1, which is considered equivalent to
the DNV/Marintek wave test described at 4.5.2.2.2. for approval purposes (achieving B1 hard
coating rate). The immersion cycles were performed during 4250 h (total 25 cycles).

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.9. Immersion resistance
3.9.3 Classes 7 and 8 (seawater only).
When tested as specified in 4.5.2.2, the total coating system shall show no pinhole rusting, loss of adhesion either
between coats or to the substrate. There shall be no blistering rated in excess of ASTM D714, blister size number 4,
Few. There shall be no surface imperfections (includes peeling) larger than 1.5 mm (116-inch) and any blistering
shall be unbroken. Type VII coating system shall have no edge rusting. Blisters and surface imperfections smaller
than 1.5 mm (116-inch), which do not increase in size after the tenth cycle and are not greater than 3 percent of
the test panel surface area, shall not be considered failure. At completion of the test, adhesion of the recoat to the
original coating shall be at least 50 percent of that of the original coating area of the test panel to itself. Type VII
edge rusting shall not exceed 0.1 percent of total edge length. Physical damage caused by handling may be ignored
in condition evaluation. For coating systems evaluated in Cycle B of paragraph 4.5.2.2.2, a "B1" rating must be
achieved to meet this requirement.
4. VERIFICATION
4.5. Test Procedures
4.5.2. Immersion Resistance
4.5.2.2 Dedicated salt water ballast (all types, classes 7 and 8, all grades). Two test panels, prepared as specified
in 4.5.2 (a) and (b) above shall be tested in accordance with either of the following cycles (cycle A or cycle B):
4.5.2.2.1 Cycle A.
a. Salt water Immersion for 5 days: Immerse panels with panels prepared as specified in 4.5.2(a) and (b) totally for
1 week in either natural seawater or ASTM D1141 Substitute Ocean Water solution at a temperature of 27 6 C
(80 10 F).
b. Remove panels from test and allow to dry for 2 days.
c. Hot water immersion for 2 hours: This operation is intended to simulate conditions encountered in the use of
tank cleaning equipment. Following the drying period, immerse the panels totally in hot, synthetic seawater for 2
hours at 80 C (175 F) (nominal).
Operations (a) to (c) constitute one complete test cycle. This cycle is repeated and coating deterioration recorded
after each complete cycle. If coating is still satisfactory after 25 cycles, wipe lightly with a soft cloth and
freshwater, allow 48 hours to thoroughly dry, and recoat the upper one third of one side of each panel, masking the
portion from the edge to 13 mm (1/2 inch) inward, with one coat of the finish coat of the coating system (or primer
coat and finish coat if appropriate). Allow 1-week dry time and complete immersion test with 25 additional test
cycles. Coating system shall be evaluated for pinhole rusting, ASTM D4541, Type II tester, adhesion of both
original and recoated surfaces, blistering larger than 1.5 mm (116 inch) in diameter, and surface imperfections
larger than 1.5 mm (116 inch). Type VII coating systems shall be evaluated for edge rusting. Test results shall be
as specified in 3.9.3.
4.5.2.2.2 Test cycle B.
This test cycle shall be performed by Det Norske Veritas, N-1322, H vik, Norway, phone 47 67 57 00, FAX 47 67
57 99 11 and shall be as specified in the test program described in Paper no. 505 of the NACE Corrosion 96
Conference report. Surface preparation and paint application shall be as specified in 4.4 and 4.5 and shall be
performed by Marine Materials AS, unless special application equipment is required that is not available to
Marine Materials. With prior approval of NAVSEA, Marine Materials AS may arrange for application by others
with supervision by Marine Materials AS. If coating system is still satisfactory after 20 cycles in the wave test
chamber portion of the testing, surface prepare the tested coating as specified in 4.4. Recoat the central upper third
of one side of each panel as specified in 4.4 and conduct an additional 5 cycles of the wave chamber test. After the
additional testing in the wave chamber, the adhesion of the recoat and original coats shall be as specified in the
requirements of 3.9.3. After completion, all testing panels shall be rated by the criterion of Paper No, 505 and
assigned a rating. This rating shall be as specified in the requirements of 3.9.3. Test results shall also be as
specified in 3.9.3

EURONAVY S.A.
EDGE RETENTION TESTS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL AS TYPE VII COATING

An important requirement for the approval as Type VII coating system is the inclusion of a
topcoat with high edge coverage retention (in EURONAVY case, the ES301S is the edgeretentive top coat). Below please find the excerpts of the MIL-PRF-23236C describing the
criteria for approval as edge-retentive coating and respective test procedures.
Quote
3.8.1 Edge coverage retention (Applicable to type VII, all classes and all grades). When tested as specified in 4.5.9,
the retained percent dry film thickness (DFT) of coating on any single 90-degree outside edge test specimen shall
be not less than 50 percent of the paint DFT on flat areas. The average coating (percent) retained on a 90-degree
outside edge of no less than three specimens shall be an average minimum of 70 percent of the measured dry film
thickness on the flat areas of the test specimen. There shall be no pin holes, cracks or other defects along the edge
that extends more than 10 percent into the thickness of the coating on the edge, nor shall any defect extend
completely to the metal of the test specimen. The edge coverage retention applies to the topcoat only and not to the
primer.
()
4.5.9 Edge coverage retention (Applicable to topcoat only of Type VII all classes and grades). Panel preparation,
paint application and percent of dry film thickness retained on an edge shall be as described in Appendix A of this
specification. Scaled photomicrographs of each edge shall be taken. This test procedure will be conducted at
government expense at the Naval Research Laboratory, Key West, Florida. Coating shall meet 3.8.1.
()
Appendix A
EDGE RETENTION TEST
A.1 Scope. This appendix is intended to provide the test method procedure referenced in paragraph 4.5.9 of this
specification for compliance with paragraph 3.8.1 of this specification. This Appendix is a mandatory part of the
specification. The information contained herein is intended for compliance.
A.2 Specimen preparation. The edge retention specimen should
use an Aluminum Alloy 6061 structural angle (90-degree)
section approximately 6 inches long. Preparation of the
specimen for test will require three basic steps: sample
machining to meet initial dimension requirements, grit blasting
to provide acceptable anchor tooth and surface cleaning prior to
coatings application. Procedures for preparation are as follows:
A.2.1 Sample machining. Both exterior surfaces should be milled
so that faces are square (90-degree 0.1-degree) and have a
surface finish of 63 micro-inch. The exterior edge should be left
as a "sharp" edge with no radius tolerance or chamfer.
A.2.2 Grit blasting. Specimen should be grit blasted using Al2O3
media to achieve an anchor tooth profile of 1-3 mil. Care should
be taken to minimize rounding of the edge with excess blasting.
Final edge radius should not exceed 0.04 inch (10 percent).
A.2.3 Cleaning. Specimen should be cleaned thoroughly with
acetone or appropriate solvent to remove all traces of grease
prior to abrasive blasting and coating application.
A.3 Paint application. Topcoat is then spray applied to unprimed
metal, maintaining correct pump pressure and distance from
substrate (approx. 18 inches) according to manufacturers
recommendations. Paint is applied to both sides (first) and the
edge (last) within one minute. Measure the wet film thickness on
the flat sides to ensure compliance with minimum recommended
film thickness. After paint application, cure the specimens at
ambient laboratory conditions for a minimum of 72 hours before
sectioning. (see figure A-1)

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
COATING SYSTEMS FOR SHIP STRUCTURES
This specification is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers five types of air pollution regulated ship and structure coatings that
comply with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for shipbuilding for state and
federal regulations (except Type VIII and VIIIA). There are 17 classes of coating systems. There are four grades of
coating systems based on temperature of application and cure. In addition to tanks, all paint systems qualified to this
specification are suitable for use on any ship structures, interior or exterior, for corrosion control. Except for trace
levels, all types are free of Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, and Asbestos (see 3.2.3). All types, except type IV, have
levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that do not exceed applicable NESHAP levels (see 3.2.2). Dry Type V,
VI, VII and VIII coating residues and debris are non-hazardous waste under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) regulations in effect on the date of this specification. Type VII coating will not have any solvent added to
either the base resin component or the hardener component.
1.2 Classification.
1.2.1 Types. The types of coating systems are as follows:
Type IV
Type V
A coating system with a maximum volatile organic content (VOC) of 340

grams per liter (g/L) (2.83 pounds per gallon (lb/gal), except for classes
requiring use of an inorganic binder shop primer (see 3.2.2.2 and 6.6.5). May
be used in any air quality management district regulating VOC. Use of
pigments that are hazardous to workers is restricted (see 3.2.3.1).
A coating system having a maximum VOC content of 340 g/L (2.83 lb/gal) of
coating, except for classes requiring use of an inorganic binder shop primer
(see 3.2.2.2 and 6.6.5). Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in the solvent will not
exceed VOC levels. (see 3.2.2.3). Use of pigments that are hazardous to
workers or create hazardous waste is restricted to trace levels (see 3.2.3.2).
May be used in any air quality management district regulating VOC. Dry
coating is not a hazardous waste under USEPA regulations.

21
MIL-PRF-23236C
dark and maintain at 27 6 qC (80 10 qF) for 30 days. Swirl fuel by rotating beakers at least three
times daily.
e.
On the 31st exposure day, test exposed and unexposed aviation and JP-5 fuel for color, corrosion,
existent gum, and solids. Test exposed and unexposed aviation gas for bromine as specified in the
following test procedures.
4.5.4.2 Fuel color (class 5 and 6 only). Color for JP-5 fuel shall be determined in accordance with ASTM

4.5.4.5 Solids (total sediment) (class 5 and 6 only). Solids shall be determined in accordance with ASTM
D910 and ASTM Specifications and Classifications for Petroleum and Lubricants. Solids shall be as specified in
3.13.4.
4.5.4.6 Bromine (class 5 and 6 only). Bromine shall be determined on both exposed and unexposed fuels in
accordance with the following procedure:
4.5.4.6.1 Apparatus.
4.5.4.6.1.1 Decomposition. The apparatus used for decomposition of bromides by sodium in liquid
ammonia shall be as shown on figure 1. The center neck of the 250-mL, 2-neck, round bottom flask carries a
Teflon-sealed, corrosion resistant, steel stirring assembly. The side neck shall be fitted with a 2-hole rubber
stopper through which pass an ammonia delivery tube and a vent protected by a drying tube containing Drierite or
equal. After charging of the flask with liquid ammonia, the pictured rubber stopper shall be replaced with a 1-hole
stopper fitted with a vent tube, also protected by a drying tube.
4.5.4.6.1.2 Titration. The apparatus used for following the titration of bromide shall be a continuous
indicating hydrogen ion concentration (pH) meter such as the Beckman Model H-2 or equal, equipped with a glass
electrode and a silver electrode [see note 1 of 4.5.6.6.3(c)]. A titration set-up shall be used, such as shown on figure
2 which shall accurately deliver slip-drop quantities of silver nitrate.
4.5.4.6.2 Materials and reagents. The following materials and reagents will be required:
a.
Dry ice and acetone for cooling.
b.
Drierite or equal.
c.
Ammonia.
d.
Sodium.
e.
Alcohol.
f.
Sodium hydroxide pellets.
g.
Ammonium persulfate.
22
MIL-PRF-23236C
h.
Sodium arsenite, 10 percent.
i.
Nitric acid (HNO3) approximately 20 percent.
j.
Silver nitrate (AgNO3), 0.05N.
4.5.4.6.3 Procedure for the analyses of gasolines. The procedure for the analyses of decomposition of
bromides shall be as follows:
a.
Cool the flask with a dry-ice, acetone slurry and introduce about 15 grams of ammonia (see note 2).
Replace the rubber stopper carrying the delivery tube by the one fitted only with a protected vent and
add a cube of freshly cut sodium having an edge dimension of about 5 mm (-inch). Rotate the stirrer
slowly by hand to partially dissolve the metal. Add exactly 50-mL of the gasoline under test (see notes
3 and 4), remove the cooling bath, and start the stirrer. As soon as the ammonia starts to evolve,
disconnect the drying tube from the vent (see note 5). Continue the stirring until the ammonia has
evaporated (about 20 minutes for a 15-gram charge). If the characteristic blue color of sodium in
liquid ammonia should disappear during the earlier stages of the evaporation, add another piece of
sodium.
b.
Upon evaporation of the ammonia, add 5-mL of alcohol to the mixture to decompose the excess
sodium. Next, add 30-mL of water and stir to aid extraction of inorganic salts. Remove the reaction
flask from the stirrer, washing down the stirrer with water, and transfer the contents to a separatory
funnel. Separate the aqueous layer and extract the organic layer with two additional 30-mL portions of
water. Combine the three aqueous extracts, evaporate to about 50-mL, and cool slightly. If, at this
point, the mixture is not clear and contains a precipitate, filter and wash the paper several times with
small portions of hot water. Evaporate the combined filtrate and washings to about 50-mL and cool
slightly. Add 2 grams of sodium hydroxide pellets followed by 2 grams of ammonium persulfate.
After the solids have dissolved, boil the solution for about 15 minutes (see notes 6 and 7). Cool the
solution slightly, add 10-mL of a 10 percent solution of sodium arsenite, boil for 10 minutes, and then
cool to room temperature. Make the solution acid to phenolphthalein by adding HNO3 (20 percent)
and determine the bromides as given below (see note 8).
c.
Immerse the titration electrodes into the solution, start the stirrer, and set the pH meter to read on the
acid scale. If the pH meter shows an apparent pH reading of greater than 1.5, add more HNO3, until a
reading of 0 to 1.5 is obtained. Next, titrate the bromides with 0.05N AgN03, making a record of
apparent pH versus mL AgN03 added. From a plot of the record of the data, determine the appropriate
inflection points, and calculate the quantities of bromine by the formulas given below.
g Br = 0.003996B
or
g Br/gal at 15.6 C (60 F)
=0.3025B[1 + 0.00065(tF - 60)]

=0.3025B[1 + 0.00065(l.8 tC - 281)]
where:
B = mL 0.05N AgN03 required to titrate bromide, and
tF = temperature (F) of gasoline when sampled
tC = temperature (C) of gasoline when sampled
Bromine shall be as specified in 3.13.5.
23
MIL-PRF-23236C
NOTES:
1. A heavy-gauge silver wire attached directly to the calomel jack of the pH meter may be used. The
portion that dips into the liquid should be cleaned by rubbing lightly with fine emery paper and rinsing with ASTM
D1193 (any type) distilled water.
2. It is convenient to use a lecture bottle as the source of ammonia. From such a container, gaseous
ammonia may be introduced into the flask with virtually complete condensation at rates up to 2 grams per minute.
The quantity of ammonia being added can be followed by periodic weighing of the lecture bottle. Steps involving
the charging and evaporation of ammonia should be carried out in a hood.
3. In general, it may be advisable to pre-cool the sample by placing it in a flask surrounded by dry ice
before introducing it into the sodium, liquid ammonia mixture. In such cases, care should be taken to protect the
sample from moisture and from dissolving carbon dioxide. After adding a pre-cooled sample to the reaction
mixture, the cooling vessel may be rinsed with about 10-mL of isooctane (at room temperature) and this rinsing may
be added directly to the reaction mixture.
4. By using a slightly larger amount of ammonia (about 20 grams), it has been found that pre-cooling is not
necessary. Under these conditions, a 50-mL, sample of gasoline (at room temperature) may be added directly into
the reaction mixture without causing excessive boiling of the ammonia, provided the addition is as slow as from a
pipette.
5. If indicating Drierite or equal is used, evolution of ammonia is evidenced by a color change.
6. During this period, it is important that the solution remain alkaline. Since sulfuric acid is one of the
decomposition products of ammonium persulfate, the solution should be checked occasionally to assure alkalinity.
This may be done by using litmus paper as an external indicator or methyl orange as an internal indicator, in the
majority of cases, the 2 grams of sodium hydroxide specified will be entirely sufficient; however, should it be found
that the solution is becoming acid, more sodium hydroxide should be used.
7. In some cases, a reddish solid or a dark solution may form during the oxidation step. Such behavior will
not affect the analyses.
8. At this point, the solution may contain a precipitate. This is of no consequence and usually will
redissolve on further acidification in the next step.
4.5.5 Volatile organic content (VOC). VOC for all types, classes, and grades, shall be determined in
accordance with USEPA 40 CFR ch.1, part 60, appendix A, method 24. Solvent content shall be as specified in
3.2.2.2.
4.5.6 HAP content of coatings. Hazardous solvent content of each individual coating shall be determined
in accordance with ASTM D3272 and ASTM E260. Solvent fractions shall be identified in accordance with ASTM
E1252 with the results recorded as percent weight of the total paint. Alternate methods of analysis must be reviewed
and approved by NAVSEA. Formulation data may be used by manufacturers in lieu of testing to demonstrate
compliance with hazardous air pollutant requirements of this specification. The manufacturer's formulation data
must have a consistent and quantitatively known relationship to the testing required. Calculation of individual HAP
contents can be based on either manufacturer evaluation of batches or supplier data for raw materials used in the
product. HAP content shall be specified in 3.2.2.3.
24
MIL-PRF-23236C
4.5.7 Brushing and rolling properties (Not applicable to Types VIII and VIIIa). Coatings shall be prepared
in accordance with manufacturer's directions. Coatings shall be applied without further reduction in accordance
with method 4321.2 of FED-STD-l41 for brushing and ASTM D5150 for rolling. For routine testing, ambient
conditions above 21 C (70 F) and 50 percent relative humidity shall be satisfactory. For referee tests, 21 3 C
(70 5 F) and 50 5 percent relative humidity shall prevail. For reduced temperature coating systems,
brushability and rolling properties shall be performed with mixed coating, components and equipment equilibrated
at the lower end of the temperature range. The actual brushing can be performed at ambient laboratory conditions so
long as the paint and equipment are at the low range application temperature. Brushing and rolling properties shall
be as specified in 3.8.
4.5.8 Spraying properties. The coating shall be prepared in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.
Without further reduction, spray a coating on an abrasive blasted steel panel to the recommended wet film thickness.
For routine testing, ambient conditions above 21 C (70 F) and 50 percent relative humidity shall be satisfactory.
For referee tests, 21 3 C (70 5 F) and 50 5 percent relative humidity shall prevail. For reduced temperature
coating systems, sprayability shall be performed with mixed coating, components and equipment equilibrated at the
lower end of the temperature range. The actual spraying can be performed at ambient laboratory conditions so long
as the paint and all equipment are at the low range application temperature. The equilibration requirement for mixed
paint does not apply to spraying using spray equipment that mixes the components at the gun, either internally or

managing Military Departments or Defense Agencys automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by
contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Although the different types of coating systems of this specification afford superior
protection for various shipboard tanks and similar ship applications, the coating systems are not necessarily
interchangeable or of equal merit for all kinds of tanks and conditions of application. Classes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are
qualified systems, the first coat of which is a shop primer (see 6.6.5). All other classes are qualified without a shop
primer. Class 15 coatings are not intended for new construction, but for limited touch-up only where localized
repairs will be no more than 3 percent of the total surface area. Classes 16, 17 and 18 are for use as appropriate in
either new construction or maintenance painting. Types VIII and VIIIa are powder coatings intended for use in
severe marine service such as immersion and wet space application.
6.1.1 Coating selection.
6.1.1.1 Types IV, V, VI and VII, VIII and VIIIa. Type IV, V, VI and VII organic coatings are acceptable
for use where environmental regulations limit VOC of organic coatings to a maximum of 340 grams of solvent per
liter of coating. Types VI and VII have VOCs of less than 340 g/L. Inorganic zinc rich shop primers conform to
environmental regulations limiting VOC to a maximum of 650 g/L. Types V, VI,VII, and VIII dried coating
residues are non-hazardous waste under U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations in effect on
the date of this specification. All types contain less lead, chromium, cadmium, asbestos and other hazardous
ingredients than OSHA regulations allow or restrict in effect on the date of this specification.
6.1.1.2 Proprietary products. Depending on local application conditions, the acquisition guidance in 6.2
may also apply to selection of specific proprietary products within each type, class, and grade.
6.1.1.3 Shop primers. Shop primers (see 6.6.5) qualified with classes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 systems are not
tested for weld through capability. The user of Classes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 systems in Navy ship construction or
repair contracts should qualify all welding processes at the maximum manufacturers recommended coating
thickness where such coatings are used to NAVSEA Technical Publication S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248, Requirements
for Welding and Brazing Procedure and Performance Qualification. All modifications in coating formulations used
as weld through pre-construction primers require re-qualification to NAVSEA Technical Publication S9074-AQGIB-010/248.
31
MIL-PRF-23236C
6.1.1.4 Alternate test for resistance to chemical solutions. In addition to the test procedure of 4.5.13,
coating systems proposed for qualification to Classes 13 and 14 of this specification will be tested to the following
protocol:
a. through e. As currently specified
f. Fourteen-day immersion in 10% fatty acid, 90% seawater
g. Fourteen-day immersion in 50% fatty acid, 50% seawater
h. Fourteen-day immersion in 100% fatty acid
This alternate immersion resistance will not be required for qualification to this revision of this specification, but
may be required by subsequent amendments or revisions. Data generated by Navy testing to this alternate
requirement will be made available to manufacturers, for information purposes, who submit coating systems for
qualification to paragraph 3.16. This alternate testing will not affect current qualifications.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification.
b.
Type, class and grade required (see 1.2).
c.
Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual
documents referenced (see 2.2.1 and 2.3).
d.
Toxicity requirements (see 3.11 and 6.4).
e.
Packaging and labeling requirements (see 5.1 and 6.7). (Attention is directed to regulatory and safety
requirements for labels.)
6.2.1 Acquisition guidance. Coatings in accordance with this specification vary to some extent in surface
preparation required, and the effect of high humidity, slight surface moisture, and temperature during applications.
Requirements for specific products can be found in contractor's instructions. Many factors affect the total overall
cost per square foot per year for tank applications, possibly the least of which is the cost of the coating systems
which average about 10 percent of the total cost. The number of coats per coating system and square foot coverage
per liter, per gallon or per pound further complicate the equity of purchase solely on the basis of lowest cost per liter
or cost per gallon. Contracting officers should therefore should fully consider such factors.
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products
which are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL no. 23236
whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to
these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to the
Federal Government tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or purchase
orders for the products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be
obtained from Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05Q, 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue, SE, Stop
5160, Washington Navy Yard DC 20376-5160.
6.4 Material safety data sheets. The contracting activity should be given a material safety data sheets
(MSDS) at the time of contract award. The MSDS should be provided in accordance with FED-STD-313 and ANSI
Z400.1. Contracting officers should identify those activities requiring copies of completed Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) prepared as specified in FED-STD-313. Additional required government information is contained
in FED-STD-313. In order to obtain the MSDS, federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clause 52.223-3 must be in the
contract.
6.5 Comparability. The comparability of types and classes of MIL-P-23236(SHIPS), DOD-P23236A(SH), MIL-P-23236B(SH) and MIL-PRF-23236C is shown in Table VIII.

Appendix A
EDGE RETENTION TEST
A.1 Scope. This appendix is intended to provide the test method procedure referenced in paragraph 4.5.9
of this specification for compliance with paragraph 3.8.1 of this specification. This Appendix is a mandatory part of
the specification. The information contained herein is intended for compliance.
A.2 Specimen preparation. The edge retention specimen should use an Aluminum Alloy 6061 structural
angle (90-degree) section approximately 6 inches long. Preparation of the specimen for test will require three basic
steps: sample machining to meet initial dimension requirements, grit blasting to provide acceptable anchor tooth and
surface cleaning prior to coatings application. Procedures for preparation are as follows:
A.2.1 Sample machining. Both exterior surfaces should be milled so that faces are square (90-degree
0.1-degree) and have a surface finish of 63 micro-inch. The exterior edge should be left as a "sharp" edge with no
radius tolerance or chamfer.
A.2.2 Grit blasting. Specimen should be grit blasted using Al2O3 media to achieve an anchor tooth profile
of 1-3 mil. Care should be taken to minimize rounding of the edge with excess blasting. Final edge radius should
not exceed 0.04 inch (10 percent).
A.2.3 Cleaning. Specimen should be cleaned thoroughly with acetone or appropriate solvent to remove all
traces of grease prior to abrasive blasting and coating application.
A.3 Paint application. Topcoat is then spray applied to unprimed metal, maintaining correct pump
pressure and distance from substrate (approx. 18 inches) according to manufacturers recommendations. Paint is
applied to both sides (first) and the edge (last) within one minute. Measure the wet film thickness on the flat sides to
ensure compliance with minimum recommended film thickness. After paint application, cure the specimens at
ambient laboratory conditions for a minimum of 72 hours before sectioning. (see figure A-1)
40
MIL-PRF-23236C
Appendix A
FIGURE A-1. Spray.

A.4 Dry film thickness. The test sample is cut at a minimum of -inch thicknesses, mounted in
metallurgical sample holder and the cut is smoothed by sanding. The dry film thickness is measured using an
optical microscope. Measurements are made at sufficient distance from the 90-degree angle to ensure there is no
edge effect; this is dft (flat). The lowest thickness visible at the edge is also measured to determine dft (edge).
A.5 Edge retention calculation. The edge retention is calculated from:
% Retention = dft (edge)/dft (flat) x 100 (see figure A-2)
A.6 Pass/fail criteria. Three sectioned specimens shall be cut from each sample, the coating thickness
measured and edge retention calculated. Any specimen with less than 50 percent edge retention shall constitute a
failure. The average of the three shall not be less than 70 percent.
41
MIL-PRF-23236C
Appendix A
FIGURE A-2. Edge retention calculation.
NOTES:
1. Aluminum is used due to ease of availability, handling and cutting.
2. Mounting the sample in a metallurgical mount prevents damage to the edge during measurement and
allows "polishing" of the specimen to highlight the interfaces for measurement.

ES301 TESTING REGARDING FIRE

FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPMENT
VALUES OBTAINED BY ASTM E 84 STANDARD
& CLASSIFICATION UNDER US NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA)
The Flame Spread Index and Smoke Developed Index values obtained by the ASTM E 84 test are
frequently used by code officials and regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish materials for
various applications. The most widely accepted classification system is described in the United States
National Fire Protection Association publication NFPA standard No. 101 Life Safety Code, where:
Rating
Flame Spread Index
Class "A"
0 - 25
Class "B"
26 - 75
Class "C"
76 - 100
If a coatings system presents 0 25 Flame Spread Index and a Smoke developed index of 0 450 it may
be rated as Class A.
A number of different ES301 two-coat systems were tested at independent NGC Labs (Fire Testing
Laboratory). The flame spread index of ES301 systems ranged from 15 to 20 (0 100 scale) and the
smoke developed index from 300 to 450. Accordingly, the ES301 systems can be rated as Class A as
per NFPA standard N101.
Attached please find the NGC Lab report and detailed results.

The Petrobras Case

Petrobras tested and thoroughly evaluated EURONAVY products since mid90s. The result was the recognition of the superior performance of the
EURONAVY products, and it specification and use in Petrobras Projects in
USA, Europe, Singapore, Brazil, South Korea, and many other places (oil
rigs, FPSOs, ships, equipments, etc.). More than 4 million m2 have been
coated with ES301 at Petrobras and Transpetro projects.
One example of the impressive performance of ES301 coating system was
the inspection performed by ABS onboard Ataulfo Alves tanker in January
2008. More than 5 years after the cargo oil tank bottoms being
hydroblasted and coated with ES301 2-coat 300 microns DFT system, the
condition was pristine: not one single dot of corrosion was detected in the
tenths of thousands square meters that have been treated in 2002.

Dear Joo Azevedo,

As requested we are transmitting a summary of PETROBRAS experience with EURONAVY
technology (ES301 coating system) and our conclusions about the significance of such
experience in terms of IMO PSPC compliance (IMO Resolution MSC.215(82) Performance
Standard for Protective Coatings for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks).
Definition of ES301 coating system
Euronavys ES301 coating system, as used by Petrobras, is a system composed by 2 coats
of EURO-basic ES301 (150 microns per coat, total dry film thickness of 300 microns).
The system was tested and applied in PETROBRAS equipments over two types of surface
preparation: Ultra High Pressure water jetting to WJ2M (SSPC SP12) and abrasive
blasting to SA 2 (ISO 8501, equivalente to SSPC SP10). The below conclusions, test
results and track record conclusions are valid for both surface preparation methods
(the water jetting have been the most used).
Compliance with PSPC
Both the results of testing (see below) and the track record of the application of
ES301 system in tanks (ballast tanks, voids, cargo tanks) of PETROBRAS ships, FPSOs
and Oil Rigs are showing overwhelming evidence of the compliance of such system with
the IMO PSPC requirements. Such evidence can be seen in both the test results and the
status of tank areas coated with ES301 coating system at 3, 5 or more years and that
are still in pristine condition.
According to IACS Procedural Requirement on Application of the IMO PSPC under IACS
Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers a coating system will be
considered compliant with IMO PSPC if passing prequalification laboratory tests
(defined in PSPC Table 1, paragraph 1.3.) OR presenting condition GOOD after 5 years
field exposure in tanks in service (<3% breakdown, <20% rust on edges and welds).
We consider that the test results of ES301 coating system (see below), namely the
tests for approval by Petrobras I-ET-3010.00-1300-140-PPC-002 (see attachment) are
equivalent to the IMO PSPC pre-qualification tests required at Table 1, paragraph
1.3.As ES301 passed the tests with good results, this is seen at PETROBRAS as evidence
of compliance with IMO PSPC.
Moreover, ES301 system had shown the compliance with IMO PSPC by proving its
performance after at least 5 years field exposure. The below listed track record of
PETROBRAS with ES301 coating system describe more than 3 million m2 where this system
as been applied at Petrobras ships or rigs, part of it in tanks. A significant
proportion of these areas is exposed for more than 5 years, and some have been
inspected recently. Up to now we did not have a single case of failure or a tank
classification below GOOD.
Recent inspections related tanks in service with ES301 system applied more than 5
years ago that show 0% failed area and 0% rust in edges and welds, what is better than
we could ever expected. In January we inspected (a joint inspection
PETROBRAS/Transpetro/Cenpes, ABS, Euronavy) the tanks of Ataulfo Alves vessel coated
in 2002 with ES301 coating system over water jetting WJ2M (SSPC 12). The condition of
the areas have been seen as
outstanding: no failures were observed, after more than five years in service. No
breakdown of any kind and no rust at all in edges and welds.
1
Our conclusion at PETROBRAS is that the joint evidence of test results and field
exposure of ES301 coating system, performed at our laboratories and at our ships and
rigs, is more than enough to grant ES301 coating system a Statement of Compliance with
IMO PSPC.
ANNEX 1 TEST RESULTS

PETROBRAS tests with EURONAVY products begun in April 1996. They consisted in
laboratory and in situ tests (refineries and platforms in Campos Basin).
The results are the following:
Preliminary Laboratory Tests Product EURONAVY ES-301
Pull-off test (ASTM D-4541 A.2) under the following conditions:
Hydroblasting WJ 3 (NACE 5/SSPC 12 Standard) Mechanical Treatment (St 2 and St 3
ISO 8501-1 Standard) with wet and dry
surfaces
Slurry Blast (Wet sand blast)
In all of these conditions the values of adhesion were very high, ranging from 17.0MPa
to 24.0MPa (170kgf/cm2 240kgf/cm2). We used a Pneumatic Adhesion Test model Patly 2A.
In these conditions we tested paints from many manufacturers and the highest values
were got by Euronavy FS-301.
Further Laboratory Testing System ES301
Based on this above results we carried out more tests with the following coating
system:
Surface Preparation: WJ 3 (NACE 5/SSPC 12 Standard)
Paint: Two coasts of ES-301 (150mm each)
This paint system was submitted following tests:
1 - Salt-spray fog test (ASTM B117): 5,000 hours
2 - 100% relative Humidity (ASTM D-2247): 5,000 hours
3 - Immersion in Artificial Sea Water: 14 months
4 - Destiled water @ 40C: 3,000 hours
5 Xilene: 14 months
6 - Crude Oil: 14 months
7 Diesel: 14 months
8 - NaOH solution 40% w/v: 3,000 hours
9 - H2SO4 solution 30% w/v: 3,000 hours
The results were considered very good. No failure was observed in specimens without
intentional damage.
Based in first laboratory tests results we decided to test this paint system in situ.
Than, we selected places with extremely aggressive conditions in platforms and
refineries. Lines with constant water condensation (platforms) that were impossible
to be painted before and refineries under high relative humidity (above 90%) and in
rainy days.
One year later the application we return and perform inspections and adhesion test
(same equipment used in laboratory) and visual observation.
No failures and no adhesion loss were observed.
Final Laboratory Tests (PETROBRAS STANDARD)
Later, PETROBRAS established a technical specification
(I-ET-3010.00-1300-140-PPC-002) for solvent free epoxy paints (in annex) for use on
steel surfaces under severe humidity conditions (up to 100% relative humidity). The
product EURO-basic ES-301 was tested and approved in all technical requirements
specified in this PETROBRAS norm. The tests included passing
ANNEX 2 - TRACK RECORDS

Based in the good results of laboratory and in situ tests as above listed, PETROBRAS
decided to extend the use of this paint system. Now Euronavy System is approved for
platforms, FSO and FPSO and refineries. It is also being extensively used in ballast
and cargo tanks in ships, by our crude carrier company TRANSPETRO. Euronavy was the
major paint supplier for PETROBRAS in recent constructions. The following table
present a summary of
it:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic22249.jpg)
I believe that the total area coated with Euronavys technology is around
4.000.000 square meters.

5.4 Cyclic Corrosion Test PETROBRAS

This test was devised as part of draft ISO 20340 Standard.
Neutral Salt Spray Exposure for 72 hours (ISO 7253, with Sodium Chloride)
24 hours Freeze at 10 C
UV-A Exposure for 72 hours (ASTM G154, 4 hours dry UV-A at 60C/4 hours condensation at 50C)
The duration of one cycle shall be 168 hours (1 week). Each coating system test panel shall undergo 20 cycles
(3360 hours).
5.5 Cathodic Disbonding ASTM G8
Coating system test panels are subjected to a potential range of -1,45 V to 1.55 V, with respect to a
Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode, via an impressed current system or a sacrificial magnesium anode whilst
immersed in an electrolyte of composition 1% Sodium Chloride, 1% Sodium Sulphate, 1% Sodium Carbonate
at a temperature in the range of 21-25C.
The duration of the test shall be 30 days.
One 6.35 mm diameter circular holiday shall be made in the centre of the test panel down to the metal
substrate.
This procedure is described in the ASTM G8 standard (Method B).
5.6 Scribing of Test Panels
Scribing of test panels involves placing a horizontal cut into the coating system down to the underlying
substrate. This can provide data such as corrosion under creep and blistering/cracking associated with film
perforation, and provides a means of evaluating the anti-corrosive ability of the coating system under test.
This standard specifies a 50mm x 2mm (70mm from the bottom) wide horizontal scribe cut into each test panel
using a slot drill and drill press. The maximum width of corrosion (across the scribe) was measured at the
centre of the scribe and at four points either side of the centre at 5mm intervals. This gives a total of 9
measurements for each scribe. The equation below was used to evaluate the average corrosion under creep:
A= (P L) / 2
A = Average corrosion under creep (mm)
P = Average of the 9 measurements (mm)
L = Width of the scribe (2mm)

The Transocean Case

Transocean had chosen the ES301 system for the refurbishment of the
tanks of the Discoverer 534 drill ship in 2007, using hydroblasting. The
quality of the protection after application (pull-off tests), the quality of
technical service from Euronavy and for the overall service life extension
project have been praised by Transoceans project team.
Thanks to the good indications from the D534 project, Euronavy was proud
to receive repeated business from Transocean in 2008. It was the case of
the Discoverer Seven Seas drill ship refurbishment project, in Singapore (all
tanks got the ES301 coatings system), and the Nordic jack up tank
refurbishment job performed at pier side in Johor, Malaysia, in the first half
of 2008.
