Remove any loose rust, paint, or mud present in the tank. The surface can be either dry or damp, and there is no requirement for heating or drying. Due to the product’s direct-to-rust application, it saves a significant amount of time and money, allowing the ship to return to service quickly.

For an optimal distribution of the tanks, evenly apply the Corrosion Passivator – Fluid (Float Coat) between the frames at the bottom of the tanks, peaks, or double-bottoms. The consumption is 1 liter per m3 during floating. When spraying, 1 liter can cover 5 m2.

Fluid (Float Coat) floats on water. By filling the tank, the Fluid adheres chemically to the metal surface. Both fresh and salt water can can be used for the floating process. The filling rate should not exceed 20 cm per minute. Fill the tank to the maximum level so that the entire tank top is reached. Can’t reach the tank top? Corrosion Passivator Fluid can also be applied by spray.

When emptying the tank: ensure that the water level does not drop faster than 20 cm per minute. Ensure that the final segment of discharged water is collected and appropriately disposed of according to applicable regulations.

After the floating process, the entire metal surface is covered with Fluid (Float Coat). The color of the metal will change to anthracite, what makes the inspection of the tanks simple. The surface retains an oily residue that disappears over time by retraction and evaporation.

nC Corrosion Passivator Fluid (Float Coat) can be applied directly-over-rust by floating or spraying. When spraying, 1 liter can cover 5 m2. The treated surface does not need to be painted over and provides long term protection.
