Marine Applications

The versatility of Liquid Rubber products allow for solutions for the marine industry that are unparalleled. Instant setting, corrosion and chemical resistant coatings offering excellent waterproofing features can be applied across many facets of the marine environment extending the life of structures and facilities while creating a safer and more efficient workplace.

On-shore building roof structures

Liquid Rubber Daclar™ applied as an ‘instant-setting’ fluid applied membrane provides cost effective waterproofing for all types of roof construction. Sprayed using a high volume – low pressure pump system, contractors can waterproof 500 sq.m. of roof surface per day. The cured Liquid Rubber Daclar™ membrane resists damage from salt water, acid rain, sun’s ultraviolet radiation and wind.

Liquid Rubber Acritech™ can be applied as a topcoat over Daclar™ where an energy efficient colour roof waterproofing membrane is desired. Liquid Rubber FireSafe™ is a flexible liquid applied membrane combining waterproofing performance with fire retardant properties in a single coating.

On-shore building warehouse flooring

Applied over concrete flooring in process and warehouse facilities, Liquid Rubber Acritech™ provides a protective wear-resistant coating in a range of colours. Applied over worn flooring Liquid Rubber Acritech™ fills cracks and damage areas, restoring a new floor look. Where greater traction is required, Liquid Rubber Nular™ containing a ‘grit’ additive, is recommended.

Both coatings are salt and oil resistant. Liquid Rubber ClearCoat™ is applied as a topcoat over either Liquid Rubber Acritech™ or Nular™ enhances resistance to staining and tracking.

Metal / concrete retaining walls

Liquid Rubber Vezlar™ provides excellent adhesion to steel, protecting the surface from corrosion caused by salt and water exposure. Spray applied in the liquid form, it cures producing a fully adhered, seamless membrane conforming to and sealing even the most complex structural shapes.

For protecting concrete retaining walls from water and salt damage, Liquid Rubber Drylar™ provides a tough weather resistant membrane which resists damage from the sun’s UV rays. Both products combine ease of application with workplace and environmental safety.

Mooring bumper structures

Liquid Rubber Vezlar™ (spray applied) or Liquid Rubber Zavlar™ (brush applied) provide a tough waterproof and corrosion protective coating with excellent elasticity.

Vessel cargo hold and bilge liners, and decking surfaces

Liquid Rubber Vezlar™ applied alone or in combination with Liquid Rubber Acritech™ provides an excellent corrosion protective liner for cargo holds and bilges. Extensive ASTM testing has shown these coatings resist under-cutting, blistering and peel-back, and are resistant to a wide range of chemical products. Liquid Rubber Acritech™, and Nular™ are also resistant to swelling in the presence of hydrocarbons.

All Liquid Rubber spray applied liner products feature excellent adhesion and elasticity, allowing the cured coating to bridge small stress cracks in tank surface. For walking surfaces where good traction is required, such as wet and oily decks and companionways, select Liquid Rubber Nular™ – an easy to apply and clean non-skid coating.

Exterior hull coatings

Applied to the exterior hulls of vessels, Liquid Rubber Vezlar™ and Acritech™ protects the metal surface from rust and corrosion and improves maintenance associated with surface fouling. The coatings ability to resist under-cutting, prevents corrosion damage going undetected around damaged surfaces and its low surface tension properties, limits organism growth and makes anti-fouling significantly easier and safer.

Off-shore drilling and production platforms

The rubberized and elastic properties of these products combined with their resistance to UV, salt and water damage, make them the ideal choice for metal protection in off-shore drilling and production platforms.

These coatings are easily and safely applied using an airless spray system in the dry dock facility and can be easily repaired at sea, using only a brush or paint roller. Their rubberized nature resists impact damage and facilitates bridging stress cracks and other metal fatigue problems.
