Did you know

Kansai Paint Marine was established in 2001, building on the heritage of Nichiyu Kansai Marine Coatings Co., Ltd.. Nu Forte DX is an epoxy paint developed with advanced technology by Kansai Paint Marine.
Nu Forte DX is part of Kansai Paint Marine's range of eco-friendly, low VOC modified epoxy paints, which also includes EPOMARINE AC(M) and EPOMARINE EX21 PLUS. It is categorized as a special epoxy type paint within their product search.
Nu Forte DX is designed for long-term adhesion on damaged tar-epoxy films, even with high-pressure water washing preparation, by dissolving and spreading the weak tar-epoxy layer into the Nu Forte DX film during curing. This tar-free, high-solid paint contributes to maintenance cost savings, environmental improvement through low VOCs, and allows for light-colored ballast tanks.
