SUMMARY
This document is attaching a list of main offshore and marine industries projects that adopted Euronavy
coating systems (Appendix 1). The listed projects account for more than six million square meters of
steel treated with over four million litres of ES301 solvent-free products since year 2000 only.
Accounting with older marine & offshore projects using ES301 since early 90s, with the dispersed sale of
these products for numerous OEMs and contractors and with the sales for on-shore industrial uses
(including oil & gas and energy industries, steel bridges and other steel structures), Euronavy estimates
that over eleven million square meters of steel have been protected with ES301 systems since this
type of products have been developed.
For each project, the table details the project type and data such as type and dimension (m2) of areas
coated, surface preparation method(s) and year and place of application. These projects include
maintenance & repair, conversion and new building jobs. All the projects used ES301 solvent-free surface
& humidity tolerant coatings as main anticorrosive system. Ultra High Pressure hydroblasting was widely
used as surface preparation method.
Apart from the attached reference list, a summary of the action that took place with Euronavy systems in
some major clients is given.
An ES301-based coating system as been Type Approved as IMO PSPC1 compliant. The IMO PSPC is the
new set of rules for the protective coatings selection and application for ballast tanks at new building
stage. Being one of the first coating systems being Type Approved under such stringent prequalification
rules enables Euronavy to positioning itself in the front row of the marine new building market for
protective coatings. The results of such positioning will surely be reflected in this reference list in a near
future.
IMO PSPC refers to the Resolution MSC.215(82) of IMOs Maritime Safety Committee adopted on 8 December 2006, designated

US NAVY (USA)
ES301 coating system was one of the few coating systems going through extensive evaluation since
1994, when DoD Department NAVSEA 05M launched a Program aimed to review all blasting and painting
procedures for US Navy and US Coast Guard, in order to improve the service life of traditional coating
protection being applied so far. As a result, NAVSEA has already published extensive new specifications
for coating onboard US Navy and US Cost
Guard ships and is now trying to disseminate
the new standards through the US Navy fleet.
ES301 was approved for the most demanding
areas and is listed in the Advanced Coatings
List by Navsea. ES301 is approved as a 20
years service life coating system for ballast
tanks, is the only system approved for ballast
tanks when hydroblasting is to be used as
surface preparation and is approved by the
most stringent standard for coating
qualification for ships: the MIL-PRF 23236C
standard.
The information regarding the several ships
using ES301 (for ballast tanks, bilges and
other areas where it is approved for use) is
not available. Nevertheless, abundant
technical information and some inspection
reports by independent sources can be
supplied in separate.
PEMEX (MEXICO)
Euronavy products are included in PEMEX Standards &
Specifications for Anticorrosive Protection. Oil rig PSS
Chemul (Mobile, AL, USA, 2005) is a recent example, ES301
system being used for a full refurbishment and life extension
project. Pemex is also using ES301 for general maintenance
onboard ships and offshore platforms in Gulf of Mexico.

Petrobras P52 FPU: the hull in the photo was built in Singapore (Keppel Fels) and totally
protected with Euronavy coating systems
Transpetro is the Petrobras-owned oil&gas products transportation company and manages a fleet of
product carriers. Transpetro is using ES301 coating system for a few years
now, mostly for ballast and cargo tanks repair. One good example is the
crude cargo tanks of MT Ataulfo Alves, fully refurbished in 2002 using
MT Cartola cargo tanks, after
hydroblasting and ES301 coating system. An inspection performed in 2008
treatment in 2002
by ABS, more than 5 years after coating application, found the surface in
pristine condition, proving the outstanding performance of Euronavy ES301
coating system for anticorrosive protection.

AKER
Aker Floating Production ASA, a subsidiary
of Aker Group, launched recently his FPSO
conversion program. The first FPSO being
converted by Aker is the Aker Smart 1. This
project started in 2007 at Jurong Shipyard
in Singapore and Euronavy was chosen as
single coating supplier for the hull
Aker Smart 1, deck coating
conversion. Thanks to the ES301 coating
with ES301 after hydroblasting:
tolerance in action.
system, hydroblasting is being used as the
main surface preparation method for this
project. The scope of supply includes
Aker Smart 1
modules fabrication in Malaysia and
Indonesia, apart from the activities in Singapore. The Aker Smart 1
FPSO is due to sail from Singapore in July 2008.
BP
BPs Thunder Horse semisub, offshore in the Gulf of
Mexico, used ES301 system for deck refurbishment. It was
applied in 2006 using UHP hydroblasting as surface
preparation method. The advantage of the system was
well perceived in such a situation: the painting job was
performed during the night, with very high humidity levels.
This humidity tolerance feature, together with the ability
of reaching effective adhesion values over surfaces with
reduced profile of roughness, have been the main causes
for the adoption of ES301 technology.
EURONAVY S.A.
TRANSOCEAN (USA)
Transocean had chosen the ES301 system for the refurbishment of the
tanks of the Discoverer 534 drill ship in 2007 (Sembawang Shipyard,
Singapore), using
hydroblasting as
surface preparation
method. The quality
of the protection after
application (namely
the pull-off tests) and
the quality of
Nordic jack up
technical service from
Euronavy have been
praised by Transoceans project team. Thanks to the
good feedback obtained from the D534 project,
ES301&hydroblasting concept was again chosen for the
Discoverer 534 drill ship
refurbishment of the Seven Seas drill ship in 2008 (again
in Singapore) and for an extensive tank repair job at the
tanks of the Nordic jack up (Malaysia, 2008).

SHIPYARDS
Euronavy coatings had been extensively applied by numerous shipyards world wide. Some examples are
presented below, listed by geographical location. This list is an excellent indication of the dissemination of
Euronavy concept.

MORE EXAMPLES
Apart from the examples mentioned above, Euronavy is supplying a growing number of marine and
offshore clients. The biggest ever seagoing ballast tank repair, for example, with over 500,000 m2 of steel
being treated since 2003, is being done using ES301 coating system, applied by a Norwegian contractor
and Mobil saw ES301 coating system being applied for the refurbishment of ballast tanks and cargo
tanks of their Zaphiro Producer FPSO, offshore West Africa. Many companies engaged in the supply chain
of marine and offshore projects (OEMs, steel
structures construction yards, etc) are also
joining the list of Euronavy clients at an
increasing pace. Euronavy coating materials
are being shipped to virtually every corner of
the earth, to be used by steel construction
yards in Brazil, Malaysia or Indonesia, valve
manufacturers in Europe or Navy suppliers in
USA or Japan. New clients are being
conquered, like SBM (using ES301 system for
the full refurbishment of two single buoys at
Brasfels shipyard in Brazil). The likes of Rolls
Royce, GE Oil&Gas (Nuovopignone), or
Halliburton are also part of Euronavy list of
clients. Its the Euronavy vision being
increasingly adopted by the marine & offshore
industries.

Executive Summary
Corrosion Engineering Services (CES), Inc., was tasked by the Commander,
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) to document the 24-month
in-service assessment of the test application of the EURONAVY ES-301K / ES301S, 100% solids coating system. Seawater ballast tanks 4-113-2-W, 6-113-0W, and 6-117-0-W on the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3) were selected for the
application. This test was to evaluate surface preparation utilizing UHP water
blasting followed by application of ballast tank coatings. The original application
was accomplished from April 19th through June 19th, 2000 while the ship was
waterborne, pierside in Sasebo, Japan. CES photographed and documented the
ballast tank conditions as of February 2002. Due to a high level of water in tank
4-113-2-W, only tanks 6-113-0-W and 6-117-0-W were inspected.
The purpose of this test was to evaluate surface preparation by utilizing UHP
water blasting. Use of EURONAVY 301 paint system was chosen because of its
tolerance to high humidity and moisture. The ballast tanks selected for this
procedure were heavily corroded and contaminated with the existing coating
system applied approximately 9 to 10 years ago.
When inspected the ship was docked at Naval Station San Diego, California. A
NACE-certified inspector conducted a visual inspection of the Euronavy paint
system. The inspection revealed the paint system to be in excellent condition.
Coatings breakdown was estimated at of 1% in the tanks inspected. Some
edges showed corrosion due to mechanical/impact damage. Areas inspected
show adequate coverage and adherence in areas where heavy pitting was
visible. Overall these tanks were in excellent condition and showed no signs of
premature coating failure. The ability to perform ballast tank preservation while
pierside (vice in drydock; a less costly alternative to drydocking), the use of UHP
waterjetting for surface preparation, and the surface and moisture-tolerant
coating system are providing excellent service life benefits to the ballast tanks
assessed and to the Navy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corrosion Engineering Services, Inc. (CES) was tasked by the
Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) to
document the one-year follow-up inspection of the bilges in MMR-1,
6-198-0-E, and MMR 2, 6-220-0-E, on USS Detroit (AOE 4). The
EURONAVY S 100% Solids Epoxy system was the coating applied
to the bilges in April 2000. CES photographed and documented the
bilge conditions as of May 2001 while the ship was inport Naval
Weapons Station, Earl, New Jersey. Application was accomplished
in MMR-1 (6-198-0-E): Center, Port Wing and Starboard Wing MMR2 (6-220-0-E): Center, Port Wing and Starboard Wings. The USS
Detroit was in availability at Metro Machine Corporation of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
The scope of work delineated by the SUPSHIP Specification: Bilges
are defined as that area of a compartment from the inner bottom
plating to the top of the existing bilge red/white line located above the
lower level deck plates. Included is shell plating and attached
structural members, bulkheads, tank top plating and manhole covers,
bilge wells and sumps, foundations, floor plates/gratings and support
structure, piping and associated support structure, valves, and
normally painted equipment therein.
Metro Machine Corporation of Pennsylvania served as the prime
contractor and also accomplished the in process control and
documentation. United Coatings Corporation (UCC) of Portsmouth,
Virginia performed the work for Metro Machine Corporation.
SUPSHIP Portsmouth, Colts Neck Detachment, administered the
contract and served as the NAVSEA/TYCOM authorized
representative with technical authority, as required by the Task Group
Instruction. Corrosion Engineering Services (CES) only observed the
checkpoints.
NAVSEA Task Group Instruction 631-63111-002 Rev -, Bilge
Preservation - Euronavy ES 301 (all K formula) was specified by
SUPSHIP Specifications 631-31-001: Machinery Room Number 2
Bilges; inspect, repair, and preserve; and 631-31-002: Machinery
Room Number One Bilge; inspect, repair, and preserve. The
specification was modified to use the Euronavy S formula for stripe
Notes:
1) Total film thickness requirement is 10-14 mils DFT.
2) Stripe coat must cover and hide the prime coat.

EURO-basic ES301
coating system approved by
US Navy /NAVSEA
in accordance to
MIL-PRF-23236C
standard
EURONAVY S.A.
The double coat ES301+ES301S systems was approved in accordance with the highly
demanding MIL-PRF-23236C standard (Performance Specification - Coating Systems For Ship
Structures), issued by the North American Department of Defence (DoD-NAVSEA), this being
the main reference in the US Navy for the selection of modern protective coating systems for its
fleets. The ES301 systems were approved as Type VII for a number of different classes and
grades and were included on the last issue of the Qualified Products List published by NAVSEA
(QPL-23236-75, 30-12-2005, attached).
The approval includes the authorization for production at EURONAVY Plant in Setbal,
Portugal. This site is the only approved manufacturing plant outside the United States of
America.
Its classification as Type VII recognizes the system as having no solvent added in its
composition and in line with the more demanding environmental rules for this type of products.
The classes for which EURONAVY requested and received certification are Class 7 (ballast
tanks), Class 15b (system may be applied on humid surfaces) and Class 17 (bilges). At present
date (30-12-2005), the EURONAVY system is the sole system approved for Classes 15b and 17
as per QPL-23236-75.
Two types of ES301 systems were approved:
Grade B (T = 0 10C)
1st coat ES301L, 6-8 mils (150-200 microns) DFT
2nd coat ES301S, 6-8 mils (150-200 microns) DFT
Total thickness 12-18 mils (300-400 microns)
Grade C (T > 11C)
1st coat ES301K, 6-8 mils (150-200 microns) DFT
2nd coat ES301S, 6-8 mils (150-200 microns) DFT
Total thickness 12-18 mils (300-400 microns)
Please refer to next pages for details regarding the Type, Classes and Grades for which
EURONAVYs ES301 system granted the MIL-PRF-23236C approval. Some extracts of the
standard are also presented, describing the most relevant tests performed for approval purposes:
cyclic immersion tests and edge retention. Many other tests were performed and passed by
ES301-systems to grant the present approval: for full details report to the attached
documentation.
EURONAVY S.A.
GRADE:
Grade B - A coating system which is to be applied, and cured at temperatures above 32 F (0
C) up to 49 F (10 C).
Grade C - A coating system which is to be applied and cured at a temperature above 50 F (11
C).
IMMERSION RESISTANCE TESTS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL AS CLASS 7
BALLAST TANKS
The following page presents an excerpt of the MIL-PRF236C standard (please find the complete
text in the attached document) describing the immersion cyclic tests used for approval as Class
7 coating system. Paragraph 3.9.3 lists the conditions that should be observed after the cyclic
immersion tests (pinholes, rusting, blistering, etc). Paragraph 4.5.2.2. describes the two
alternative immersion tests that can be used for the approval. ES301 coating system was tested
accordingly to the Cycle A described at paragraph 4.5.2.2.1, which is considered equivalent to
the DNV/Marintek wave test described at 4.5.2.2.2. for approval purposes (achieving B1 hard
coating rate). The immersion cycles were performed during 4250 h (total 25 cycles).

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
COATING SYSTEMS FOR SHIP STRUCTURES
This specification is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers five types of air pollution regulated ship and structure coatings that
comply with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for shipbuilding for state and
federal regulations (except Type VIII and VIIIA). There are 17 classes of coating systems. There are four grades of
coating systems based on temperature of application and cure. In addition to tanks, all paint systems qualified to this
specification are suitable for use on any ship structures, interior or exterior, for corrosion control. Except for trace
levels, all types are free of Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, and Asbestos (see 3.2.3). All types, except type IV, have
levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that do not exceed applicable NESHAP levels (see 3.2.2). Dry Type V,
VI, VII and VIII coating residues and debris are non-hazardous waste under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) regulations in effect on the date of this specification. Type VII coating will not have any solvent added to
either the base resin component or the hardener component.
1.2 Classification.
1.2.1 Types. The types of coating systems are as follows:
Type IV
Type V

ammonia shall be as shown on figure 1. The center neck of the 250-mL, 2-neck, round bottom flask carries a
Teflon-sealed, corrosion resistant, steel stirring assembly. The side neck shall be fitted with a 2-hole rubber
stopper through which pass an ammonia delivery tube and a vent protected by a drying tube containing Drierite or
equal. After charging of the flask with liquid ammonia, the pictured rubber stopper shall be replaced with a 1-hole
stopper fitted with a vent tube, also protected by a drying tube.
4.5.4.6.1.2 Titration. The apparatus used for following the titration of bromide shall be a continuous
indicating hydrogen ion concentration (pH) meter such as the Beckman Model H-2 or equal, equipped with a glass

4.5.4.6.3 Procedure for the analyses of gasolines. The procedure for the analyses of decomposition of
bromides shall be as follows:
a.
Cool the flask with a dry-ice, acetone slurry and introduce about 15 grams of ammonia (see note 2).
Replace the rubber stopper carrying the delivery tube by the one fitted only with a protected vent and
add a cube of freshly cut sodium having an edge dimension of about 5 mm (-inch). Rotate the stirrer
slowly by hand to partially dissolve the metal. Add exactly 50-mL of the gasoline under test (see notes
3 and 4), remove the cooling bath, and start the stirrer. As soon as the ammonia starts to evolve,
disconnect the drying tube from the vent (see note 5). Continue the stirring until the ammonia has
evaporated (about 20 minutes for a 15-gram charge). If the characteristic blue color of sodium in
liquid ammonia should disappear during the earlier stages of the evaporation, add another piece of
sodium.
b.
Upon evaporation of the ammonia, add 5-mL of alcohol to the mixture to decompose the excess
sodium. Next, add 30-mL of water and stir to aid extraction of inorganic salts. Remove the reaction
flask from the stirrer, washing down the stirrer with water, and transfer the contents to a separatory
funnel. Separate the aqueous layer and extract the organic layer with two additional 30-mL portions of
water. Combine the three aqueous extracts, evaporate to about 50-mL, and cool slightly. If, at this
point, the mixture is not clear and contains a precipitate, filter and wash the paper several times with
small portions of hot water. Evaporate the combined filtrate and washings to about 50-mL and cool
slightly. Add 2 grams of sodium hydroxide pellets followed by 2 grams of ammonium persulfate.
After the solids have dissolved, boil the solution for about 15 minutes (see notes 6 and 7). Cool the
solution slightly, add 10-mL of a 10 percent solution of sodium arsenite, boil for 10 minutes, and then
cool to room temperature. Make the solution acid to phenolphthalein by adding HNO3 (20 percent)
and determine the bromides as given below (see note 8).
c.
Immerse the titration electrodes into the solution, start the stirrer, and set the pH meter to read on the
acid scale. If the pH meter shows an apparent pH reading of greater than 1.5, add more HNO3, until a
reading of 0 to 1.5 is obtained. Next, titrate the bromides with 0.05N AgN03, making a record of
apparent pH versus mL AgN03 added. From a plot of the record of the data, determine the appropriate
inflection points, and calculate the quantities of bromine by the formulas given below.
g Br = 0.003996B
or
g Br/gal at 15.6 C (60 F)
where:
B = mL 0.05N AgN03 required to titrate bromide, and
tF = temperature (F) of gasoline when sampled
tC = temperature (C) of gasoline when sampled
Bromine shall be as specified in 3.13.5.
23
MIL-PRF-23236C
NOTES:
1. A heavy-gauge silver wire attached directly to the calomel jack of the pH meter may be used. The
portion that dips into the liquid should be cleaned by rubbing lightly with fine emery paper and rinsing with ASTM
D1193 (any type) distilled water.
2. It is convenient to use a lecture bottle as the source of ammonia. From such a container, gaseous
ammonia may be introduced into the flask with virtually complete condensation at rates up to 2 grams per minute.
The quantity of ammonia being added can be followed by periodic weighing of the lecture bottle. Steps involving
the charging and evaporation of ammonia should be carried out in a hood.
3. In general, it may be advisable to pre-cool the sample by placing it in a flask surrounded by dry ice
before introducing it into the sodium, liquid ammonia mixture. In such cases, care should be taken to protect the
sample from moisture and from dissolving carbon dioxide. After adding a pre-cooled sample to the reaction
mixture, the cooling vessel may be rinsed with about 10-mL of isooctane (at room temperature) and this rinsing may
be added directly to the reaction mixture.
4. By using a slightly larger amount of ammonia (about 20 grams), it has been found that pre-cooling is not
necessary. Under these conditions, a 50-mL, sample of gasoline (at room temperature) may be added directly into
the reaction mixture without causing excessive boiling of the ammonia, provided the addition is as slow as from a
pipette.
5. If indicating Drierite or equal is used, evolution of ammonia is evidenced by a color change.
6. During this period, it is important that the solution remain alkaline. Since sulfuric acid is one of the
decomposition products of ammonium persulfate, the solution should be checked occasionally to assure alkalinity.
This may be done by using litmus paper as an external indicator or methyl orange as an internal indicator, in the
majority of cases, the 2 grams of sodium hydroxide specified will be entirely sufficient; however, should it be found
that the solution is becoming acid, more sodium hydroxide should be used.
7. In some cases, a reddish solid or a dark solution may form during the oxidation step. Such behavior will
not affect the analyses.
8. At this point, the solution may contain a precipitate. This is of no consequence and usually will
redissolve on further acidification in the next step.
4.5.5 Volatile organic content (VOC). VOC for all types, classes, and grades, shall be determined in
accordance with USEPA 40 CFR ch.1, part 60, appendix A, method 24. Solvent content shall be as specified in
3.2.2.2.
4.5.6 HAP content of coatings. Hazardous solvent content of each individual coating shall be determined
in accordance with ASTM D3272 and ASTM E260. Solvent fractions shall be identified in accordance with ASTM
E1252 with the results recorded as percent weight of the total paint. Alternate methods of analysis must be reviewed
and approved by NAVSEA. Formulation data may be used by manufacturers in lieu of testing to demonstrate
compliance with hazardous air pollutant requirements of this specification. The manufacturer's formulation data
must have a consistent and quantitatively known relationship to the testing required. Calculation of individual HAP
contents can be based on either manufacturer evaluation of batches or supplier data for raw materials used in the
product. HAP content shall be specified in 3.2.2.3.

with method 4321.2 of FED-STD-l41 for brushing and ASTM D5150 for rolling. For routine testing, ambient
conditions above 21 C (70 F) and 50 percent relative humidity shall be satisfactory. For referee tests, 21 3 C
(70 5 F) and 50 5 percent relative humidity shall prevail. For reduced temperature coating systems,
brushability and rolling properties shall be performed with mixed coating, components and equipment equilibrated
at the lower end of the temperature range. The actual brushing can be performed at ambient laboratory conditions so
long as the paint and equipment are at the low range application temperature. Brushing and rolling properties shall
be as specified in 3.8.
4.5.8 Spraying properties. The coating shall be prepared in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.
Without further reduction, spray a coating on an abrasive blasted steel panel to the recommended wet film thickness.
For routine testing, ambient conditions above 21 C (70 F) and 50 percent relative humidity shall be satisfactory.
For referee tests, 21 3 C (70 5 F) and 50 5 percent relative humidity shall prevail. For reduced temperature
coating systems, sprayability shall be performed with mixed coating, components and equipment equilibrated at the
lower end of the temperature range. The actual spraying can be performed at ambient laboratory conditions so long
as the paint and all equipment are at the low range application temperature. The equilibration requirement for mixed
paint does not apply to spraying using spray equipment that mixes the components at the gun, either internally or
externally, however, coating components and all equipment shall be at the low range application temperature.
Observe for spraying properties in accordance with method 4331.2 of FED-STD-141. Spraying properties shall be as
specified in 3.8. Type VIII and VIIIa powder coating shall be applied in accordance with manufacturers
instructions to meet 3.8.

Method 7500 with the coating sample treated as a bulk settled dust. Soluble metal content shall be reported as
milligrams per liter (mg/L). Total metal content shall be reported as %WT of the cured coating The test results for
each metal shall be in conformance with the appropriate requirements of 3.2.3.1, 3.2.3.2. Tantalum and tungsten
soluble metal content and total metal content shall be analyzed as specified in 4.5.10.1. Formulation data may be
used by manufacturers in lieu testing required under this paragraph to demonstrate compliance with hazardous metal
content requirements of this specification. The manufacturer's formulation data must have a consistent and
quantitatively known relationship to the testing required. Calculation of individual hazardous metal contents can be
based on either manufacturer testing of batches or supplier data for raw materials used in the product. The coating
manufacturer must provide for each individual hazardous metal a formulation value that will not be exceeded if a
sample from any quality control approved production batch of the coating is tested in accordance with this
paragraph. Type VIIIa may have a high zinc content due to the presence of sacrificial zinc.

4.5.18 Wear resistant coating systems. Determine the wear resistance of the coating after 1000 cycles
when tested in accordance with ASTM D4060. Coating shall comply with 3.20.
4.5.19 Bilge coating systems. Bilge coating systems shall be tested in accordance with the following test
sequence:
a.
Paint and cure two steel test panels (150 by 300 by 3mm (6 by 12 by -inch) with Navy Formula 150
(Type IV) and one coat of Navy Formula 156 (Type IV). Observe the dry through times of MIL-DTL24441. Scribe one panel to the metal substrate with a X and expose both panels for 300 hours in an
ASTM B117 test apparatus.
b. For one panel, remove all previously applied coatings (and corrosion products) at the X scribe
mark by power tool cleaning to bare metal to achieve a SSPC SP-11 surface and feather the interface
edges between the bare metal and intact paint. Create an area of at least 12 square inches. This is
intended to simulate repair of a damaged area in a bilge coating.
c.
For the remaining panel, clean, degrease, remove any rust spots, lightly abrade with 100 grit sandpaper
to break any remaining gloss and finally solvent clean the panel. Again, create a test area of at least 12
square inches.
d. Apply to the prepared areas of the test panels the proposed bilge coating in the number of coats and
with the procedure recommended by the coating manufacturer.
e.
Reimmerse the two panel thus prepared into the desired test medium for twelve test cycles or until
prior failure.
f.
Following the twelve test cycles, remove the two panels from the immersion test and examine for
compliance with 3.21. Bilge coating systems exhibiting delamination, blisters larger than 1.5 mm, rust
breakthrough or any other coating failure compromising the substrate shall be considered a failure.
4.5.20 Single coat systems. Class 18, single coat systems, shall be tested to the requirements of Classes 5,
7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 as requested in the manufacturer's application for qualification testing. The difference shall
be in panel preparation. Class 18 coatings shall be applied in a single coat in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
4.5.21 Well deck overhead coating systems. The evaluation procedure for well deck overhead coating
systems shall consist of the following steps:
a.
Two panels prepared as specified in 4.5.2 shall be coated with the well deck overhead coating system
and cured for 30 days at an outdoor exposure site where the minimum ambient daytime temperature is
70 F and minimum relative humidity is 50 percent.
b.
Each panel shall be exposed to a burn test where the panel is mounted at a 45-degree angle and a
butane torch (or equal) heats the panel backside, which is uncoated. Temperature is measured on the
bare uncoated backside (at the flame contact point) and on the front in the same general area as the
flame contact on the back. The temperature at which the coating ignites is recorded. At that time the
torch is removed and the coating is allowed to burn out. The time and temperature when the coating
self extinguishes is recorded.
30
MIL-PRF-23236C
c.
The heating sequence shall be for two hours at each of the temperatures in 50 degree Fahrenheit
increments from 150 F to 500 F inclusive.
d.
Adhesion values in pounds per square inch shall be determined and recorded before and after the heat
resistance test.
e.
4.6 Toxicity. The contractor shall have the formulations and associated toxicological information available
for review by the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) as directed by the qualifying activity.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or
order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to
contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements
are maintained by the Inventory Control Points packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense
Agency, or within the Military Departments System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Departments or Defense Agencys automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by
contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Although the different types of coating systems of this specification afford superior
protection for various shipboard tanks and similar ship applications, the coating systems are not necessarily
interchangeable or of equal merit for all kinds of tanks and conditions of application. Classes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are
qualified systems, the first coat of which is a shop primer (see 6.6.5). All other classes are qualified without a shop
primer. Class 15 coatings are not intended for new construction, but for limited touch-up only where localized
repairs will be no more than 3 percent of the total surface area. Classes 16, 17 and 18 are for use as appropriate in
either new construction or maintenance painting. Types VIII and VIIIa are powder coatings intended for use in
severe marine service such as immersion and wet space application.
6.1.1 Coating selection.
6.1.1.1 Types IV, V, VI and VII, VIII and VIIIa. Type IV, V, VI and VII organic coatings are acceptable
for use where environmental regulations limit VOC of organic coatings to a maximum of 340 grams of solvent per
liter of coating. Types VI and VII have VOCs of less than 340 g/L. Inorganic zinc rich shop primers conform to
environmental regulations limiting VOC to a maximum of 650 g/L. Types V, VI,VII, and VIII dried coating
residues are non-hazardous waste under U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations in effect on
the date of this specification. All types contain less lead, chromium, cadmium, asbestos and other hazardous
ingredients than OSHA regulations allow or restrict in effect on the date of this specification.
6.1.1.2 Proprietary products. Depending on local application conditions, the acquisition guidance in 6.2
may also apply to selection of specific proprietary products within each type, class, and grade.
6.1.1.3 Shop primers. Shop primers (see 6.6.5) qualified with classes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 systems are not
tested for weld through capability. The user of Classes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 systems in Navy ship construction or
repair contracts should qualify all welding processes at the maximum manufacturers recommended coating
thickness where such coatings are used to NAVSEA Technical Publication S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248, Requirements
for Welding and Brazing Procedure and Performance Qualification. All modifications in coating formulations used
as weld through pre-construction primers require re-qualification to NAVSEA Technical Publication S9074-AQGIB-010/248.
31
MIL-PRF-23236C
6.1.1.4 Alternate test for resistance to chemical solutions. In addition to the test procedure of 4.5.13,
coating systems proposed for qualification to Classes 13 and 14 of this specification will be tested to the following
protocol:
a. through e. As currently specified
f. Fourteen-day immersion in 10% fatty acid, 90% seawater
g. Fourteen-day immersion in 50% fatty acid, 50% seawater
h. Fourteen-day immersion in 100% fatty acid
This alternate immersion resistance will not be required for qualification to this revision of this specification, but
may be required by subsequent amendments or revisions. Data generated by Navy testing to this alternate
requirement will be made available to manufacturers, for information purposes, who submit coating systems for
qualification to paragraph 3.16. This alternate testing will not affect current qualifications.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a.
b.
c.
Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual
documents referenced (see 2.2.1 and 2.3).
d.
e.
Packaging and labeling requirements (see 5.1 and 6.7). (Attention is directed to regulatory and safety
requirements for labels.)
6.2.1 Acquisition guidance. Coatings in accordance with this specification vary to some extent in surface
preparation required, and the effect of high humidity, slight surface moisture, and temperature during applications.
Requirements for specific products can be found in contractor's instructions. Many factors affect the total overall
cost per square foot per year for tank applications, possibly the least of which is the cost of the coating systems
which average about 10 percent of the total cost. The number of coats per coating system and square foot coverage
per liter, per gallon or per pound further complicate the equity of purchase solely on the basis of lowest cost per liter
or cost per gallon. Contracting officers should therefore should fully consider such factors.
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products
which are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL no. 23236
whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to
these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to the
Federal Government tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or purchase
orders for the products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be
obtained from Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05Q, 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue, SE, Stop
5160, Washington Navy Yard DC 20376-5160.
6.4 Material safety data sheets. The contracting activity should be given a material safety data sheets
(MSDS) at the time of contract award. The MSDS should be provided in accordance with FED-STD-313 and ANSI
Z400.1. Contracting officers should identify those activities requiring copies of completed Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) prepared as specified in FED-STD-313. Additional required government information is contained
in FED-STD-313. In order to obtain the MSDS, federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clause 52.223-3 must be in the
contract.
6.5 Comparability. The comparability of types and classes of MIL-P-23236(SHIPS), DOD-P23236A(SH), MIL-P-23236B(SH) and MIL-PRF-23236C is shown in Table VIII.

EDGE RETENTION TEST
A.1 Scope. This appendix is intended to provide the test method procedure referenced in paragraph 4.5.9
of this specification for compliance with paragraph 3.8.1 of this specification. This Appendix is a mandatory part of
the specification. The information contained herein is intended for compliance.
A.2 Specimen preparation. The edge retention specimen should use an Aluminum Alloy 6061 structural
angle (90-degree) section approximately 6 inches long. Preparation of the specimen for test will require three basic
steps: sample machining to meet initial dimension requirements, grit blasting to provide acceptable anchor tooth and
surface cleaning prior to coatings application. Procedures for preparation are as follows:
A.2.1 Sample machining. Both exterior surfaces should be milled so that faces are square (90-degree
0.1-degree) and have a surface finish of 63 micro-inch. The exterior edge should be left as a "sharp" edge with no
radius tolerance or chamfer.
A.2.2 Grit blasting. Specimen should be grit blasted using Al2O3 media to achieve an anchor tooth profile
of 1-3 mil. Care should be taken to minimize rounding of the edge with excess blasting. Final edge radius should
not exceed 0.04 inch (10 percent).
A.2.3 Cleaning. Specimen should be cleaned thoroughly with acetone or appropriate solvent to remove all
traces of grease prior to abrasive blasting and coating application.
A.3 Paint application. Topcoat is then spray applied to unprimed metal, maintaining correct pump
pressure and distance from substrate (approx. 18 inches) according to manufacturers recommendations. Paint is
applied to both sides (first) and the edge (last) within one minute. Measure the wet film thickness on the flat sides to
ensure compliance with minimum recommended film thickness. After paint application, cure the specimens at
ambient laboratory conditions for a minimum of 72 hours before sectioning. (see figure A-1)

The Flame Spread Index and Smoke Developed Index values obtained by the ASTM E 84 test are
frequently used by code officials and regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish materials for
various applications. The most widely accepted classification system is described in the United States
National Fire Protection Association publication NFPA standard No. 101 Life Safety Code, where:
Rating
Class "A"
0 - 25
Class "B"
26 - 75
Class "C"
76 - 100
If a coatings system presents 0 25 Flame Spread Index and a Smoke developed index of 0 450 it may
be rated as Class A.
A number of different ES301 two-coat systems were tested at independent NGC Labs (Fire Testing
Laboratory). The flame spread index of ES301 systems ranged from 15 to 20 (0 100 scale) and the
smoke developed index from 300 to 450. Accordingly, the ES301 systems can be rated as Class A as
per NFPA standard N101.

Our conclusion at PETROBRAS is that the joint evidence of test results and field
exposure of ES301 coating system, performed at our laboratories and at our ships and
rigs, is more than enough to grant ES301 coating system a Statement of Compliance with
IMO PSPC.
