Left unpainted,marine conditions will deterioratethese materials; metals will corrode,GRP can suffer from osmosis andmarine organisms can attack Wood.Therefore using paints is anefficient method to protect yourpleasure craft. Besides offeringHow much paint to apply?The minimum thickness of thedry film for surfaces below the waterlineis 400-450 microns for the entirescheme. For surfaces above the waterline,250-300 microns is sufficient.It is very important that these minimumthicknesses are respected.protection, coating systems have adecorative function too although forsome areas the emphasis is more onthe protective component such asantifoulings and ballast tanks.What about maintenance?The final step is to apply thefinish or topcoat. The topcoat givesWhich paint first?Coating systems can be dividedinto 3 groups of paints according totheir function in the coating system.Primers have good adhesion tothe substrate and provide a solid basefor recoating with other paints.After the primer, intermediate orthe required colour and gloss andprovides protection against variousinfluences such as sunlight, weatherand abrasive impact. It may also givespecific protective properties (such asthe antifouling onto the submergedareas). The finish must be regularlyrenewed to maintain the boat permanentlyin good condition.From time to time it is advised toremove the total paint system as theyearly maintenance results in a buildupof layers. Too thick layers notonly increases the weight of the boatbut the increased internal stress canalso lead to delamination of the totalcoating system.barrier coats are applied in order toenhance the overall protection andto provide a good intercoat adhesion.Barrier coats contain pigments,which reduce moisture penetrationand decrease oxygen permeability.

Glassfibre reinforced polyester (GRP)How to prevent osmosisGRP is the most popular materialfor hull construction today becauseof its versatile use and its pleasant,shiny appearance. Usually the gelcoatbegins to loose its luster and shineafter two or three years; so that thetopsides in particular become chalkyor crazed.When this happens, it is abouttime to start repainting.The gelcoat should be degreasedthoroughly with Transocean Gelcleanto eliminate traces of wax, paraffinand other contaminants. Highpressurewash with fresh water andallow thorough drying. Disc abradeto an even, matt finish. Remove dustand debris prior to painting.The system box gives our recommendationfor a full refurbishmentand for touch-up of spot repairs.The osmosis process starts whenwater penetrates in the gelcoat andreacts with substances in the hull.This will even attract more waterresulting in an increase in volumethat finally shows itself at thesurface in the form of blisters.Painting scheme for GRPIn case of painting over an intactepoxy protective system, apply1-2 coats Transocean Sealer priorto recoating with an appropriateTransocean antifouling system.2 layers Transocean PU finish2 layers Transocean Antifouling1 layer Transocean SealerTransocean BarrierkoteUnderwater hull area: 2-3 layersAbove waterline area: 1-2 layersRepair of dents, holes etc. with TransoceanFiller or Transocean MasticHowever, not all bubbles are theresult of osmosis. If the blisters arefilled with liquid and have an acidicsmell, osmosis is very likely. In caseblisters do not contain fluids but arethe result of air bubbles, repairingis relatively easy by just sanding andpriming.In case your boat shows signs ofosmosis contact your nearestTransocean dealer to get adequateadvice on the best procedure totreat the problem.Of course it is always better toprevent than to cure and thereforeTransocean has developed specializedproducts such as TransoceanHydrostop or Transocean Guard thatforms a protective layer around thegelcoat. Before application, ensurethe hull has dried thoroughly bymeasuring the moisture content inthe hull since any remainingmoisture may lead to blistering ordelamination of the coating.

SteelSteel is a very durable materialfor boat construction provided thatpaint system used has good anticorrosiveproperties. It is important torealize that a correct surface preparationis essential too.In case of a new construction,we advise to contact your localTransocean representative.For maintenance of existing paintsystems, grit blasting, high-pressurewater jetting and mechanical sandingdiscs are suitable methods of preparation.When the whole paint systemhas to be removed, blasting is preferredas it is faster and leaves a betterresult. Blast cleaning should be toSa 2,5 – ISO 8501 standard. Afterblasting, immediately apply a coat ofTransocean Primerkote.Secondary surface preparationincludes smoothening of weld seams,remove weld splatter and roundingof sharp edges.The system box gives our recommendationfor a full refurbishmentand for touch-up of spot repairs.In case of painting over an intactepoxy protective system, apply1-2 coats Transocean Sealer priorto recoating with an appropriateTransocean antifouling system.Painting scheme for steel2 layers Transocean PU finish2 layers Transocean Antifouling1 layer Transocean SealerTransocean BarrierkoteUnderwater hull area: 2-3 layersAbove waterline area: 1-2 layers1 layer Transocean PrimerkoteRepair of dents, holes etc. with TransoceanFiller or Transocean Mastic

AluminiumAluminium is a light and rigidmaterial, which makes it an excellentmaterial for the construction offor instance powerboats. Preventivepaint systems in combination withthe correct surface preparation arerequired to prevent corrosion. It istherefore that special antifoulingshave to be selected since the use ofcopperoxide based antifoulings maylead to pitting corrosion.For new boats or full refurbishmentremove any corroded top layerby light abrasive blasting using lowpressure and non-metallic abrasive(e.g. garnet) or by using mechanicalsanding discs.Alternatively, the aluminium canbe etched by using an acidic solutionor etch primer. Transocean Gelcleancan be used for this purpose.High-pressure wash with fresh waterand allow drying prior to applicationof Transocean Primerkote.The system box gives our recommendationfor a full refurbishmentand for touch-up of spot repairs.In case of painting over an intactepoxy protective system, apply1-2 coats Transocean Sealer priorto recoating with an appropriateTransocean antifouling system.Painting scheme for aluminium2 layers Transocean PU finish2 layers Transocean Antifouling Ultra Grade1 layer Transocean SealerTransocean BarrierkoteUnderwater hull area: 2-3 layersAbove waterline area: 1-2 layers1 layer Transocean PrimerkoteRepair of dents, holes etc. with TransoceanFiller or Transocean Mastic

Transocean Antifouling SystemsA reliable travel companion for all shipsFouling is the growth of marineorganisms on the underwater area ofvessels outside hull. Any organismcapable of attaching itself to a vesselcan cause fouling. Fortunately, onlyrelatively few species are found onships hulls.The most quoted effect of foulingon a ship hull is the increase indrag and hull roughness resulting inspeed reduction. Using antifoulingsis therefore an effective solution andworthwhile investment too.The basic principle of anyantifouling is the release of activecompounds called biocides at thecoating-seawater interface where itcreates a hostile environment forTransoceanAntifoulingSpeed 7950Speed Ultra 7972Regatta 7980Regatta Ultra 7992Product codefouling organisms. Fouling will thereforebe prevented and any growth offouling will be inhibited.The mechanism how biocides arereleased can vary from antifouling toantifouling and depends on the typeof boat, coating system and budget.Transocean has a long history intesting and developing Antifoulingsystems. Before being introduced as aTransocean Antifouling, the formulahas gone through extensive testprocedures such as erosion ratemeasurements and static immersionin various sea conditions rangingfrom icy waters to tropical marinas.The Usage guide shows whichTransocean Antifouling system issuitable for your boat.Suitable foraluminiumhullsSail boatsMotor boats (upto 30 knots)Weekenduse onlyRotor machine to measureerosion propertiesTransocean tests all Antifouling on theirrafts.
