  1. MarineMend Repair Kit Procedure For MarineLine Coated Tanks

  2. Purpose • The purpose of this procedure is to clearly explain what must be done in order to repair a tank for service. The repair procedure should be used when the coating has been misapplied, damaged, or contains holidays (pinholes).

  3. Safety • Observe ALL safety requirements during this procedure, including wearing all safety equipment

  4. Steel Plate coated with MarineLine

  5. Steel plate pending mechanical damage with a hammer.

  6. Damaged Plate

  7. Pre-Surface Preparation • Pre-Surface Preparation includes a detergent wash and chemical cleaning of all surfaces to be repaired. • All surfaces must then be dried

  8. Surface Preparation • If the damaged areas are small and independent (separate) from each other, the small damaged areas may be hand sanded with a medium grit aluminum oxide sandpaper. Sand the topcoat (grey) of the MarineLine coating, and any rust spots must be removed.

  9. Close-up damaged MarineLine

  10. Surface Preparation • For areas that are larger, a disk sander with a medium grit aluminum oxide disk should be used. Remove topcoat (grey) of the MarineLine coating, and any rust spots down to a near white metal. • Note: All areas sanded down to a near white metal, must have an area of 25 mm around it’s periphery. MarineLine coating topcoat (grey) removed to a feathered edge.

  12. Orbital Sander

  13. Sand masked area

  14. Surface Preparation • Feather edge the sanded area so that no loose or sharp edges of existing coating are observable

  15. Surface Preparation • The area should be vacuumed thoroughly to remove all dust particles and washed with solvent (MEK or Acetone) to remove all contaminants.

  18. Coating The Repair Spots When all preparation work is completed mix thoroughly the MarineMend Repair Kit. Part A (Resin) with Part B (Catalyst). Note: The pot life of the MarineMend Repair Kit is 15 minutes maximum @ 20C Make sure all surface preparation is completely finished before mixing the kit.

  23. Coating The Repair Spots • Use a small brush or roller to apply the mixed MarineMend Repair Kit.

  24. MarineMend Applied With Brush

  25. Coating The Repair Spots • Apply one coat of the MarineMend Repair Kit to the prepared surface area. The final average dry film thickness (DFT) should measure 300 microns. At NO TIME should the average DFT exceed 350 microns.

  26. MarineMend Applied With Brush

  27. Coating The Repair Spots • The coating should cover all areas which have been prepared (sanded) including the feathered edge of the original MarineLine coating.

  28. Finished MarineMend Patch

  29. Coating The Repair Spots • Allow to dry for 6 – 8 hours with good ventilation

  30. No Heat Curing Required • No heat curing is required when using the MarineMend Repair Kit

  31. No Heat Curing Required • Chemical resistance for carrying clean products will develop in 7 days at 24 C.

  32. No Heat Curing Required • Full chemical resistance per the chemical resistance guide will develop as follows: 30 days at 24 C 40 days at 20 C 60 days at 15 C 90 days at 10 C Do not allow temperature to drop below 10 C

  33. Safety • Observe ALL safety requirements during this procedure, including wearing all safety equipment
