Description
Self-indicating anticorrosive — unique colour-change for visual film-thickness assessment
Did you know
- The Nippon Paint Marine NOA System, which stands for Nippon Paint Marine Optimized and Advanced Coating System, was introduced to the market in 1998. This advanced anticorrosive self-indicating epoxy system was developed to improve application accuracy and performance on ships, extending their operational life.
- The NOA System is a comprehensive range of anticorrosive coatings designed to meet the specific needs of different areas of a ship, including ballast tanks, cargo oil tanks, void spaces, and outer hulls. It sits alongside other Nippon Paint Marine innovations like the FASTAR series of antifouling paints, which utilize nanodomain technology for fuel efficiency, and the A-LF-Sea series, an ultra-low friction antifouling paint.
- The primary strength of the NOA System is its patented Self-Indicating (SI) technology, which allows painters to visually confirm that the correct film thickness has been applied during the coating process. This visual feedback, particularly effective on edges and corners where conventional measurement is difficult, enhances coating quality, reduces the need for touch-ups, and improves painting efficiency.
| Model | Technology | Primary Function | Typical Dry Film Thickness (µm) | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOA System (General) | Self-Indicating (SI) Epoxy | Anticorrosive Primer | Varies by specific NOA product (e.g., NOA 10M: 250µm, NOA PC: 125-300µm) | Visual confirmation of correct film thickness during application |
| FASTAR (e.g., FASTAR I/II/XI/XII) | Nanodomain Structured Hydrolysis Antifouling | Antifouling for underwater hull | 200µm (vertical sides), 120µm (flat bottom) for bulk carrier | Precise, predictable antifouling performance and fuel savings |
| A-LF-Sea (e.g., A-LF-Sea 150/400) | Biomimetic Extra-Low Friction Antifouling with Water Trapping Function | Antifouling for ship bottoms | 80-150µm (A-LF-Sea 150) | Significant fuel savings (around 10%) by reducing frictional resistance |
