The Marine Environment

Saltwater is the harshest corrosion environment

Continuous saltwater exposure, marine growth, and galvanic currents make marine vessels the most challenging coating application. Generic paints fail within a season.

P.01

Saltwater Immersion

Submerged surfaces face continuous saltwater contact. Only immersion-rated epoxy systems can withstand this environment.

P.02

Marine Growth

Barnacles, algae, and marine organisms attach to hulls. They damage coating and increase fuel consumption.

P.03

Galvanic Corrosion

Dissimilar metals on vessels create galvanic cells. Without proper isolation and coating, electrochemical corrosion accelerates.

Marine-Grade Systems

C5-M coating systems for full immersion

Immersion-rated epoxies, anti-fouling bottom paint, and saltwater-resistant topcoats. The same systems used on Navy vessels and offshore platforms.

Immersion Epoxies

Epoxy systems rated for continuous saltwater immersion. 15-20 year coating life below the waterline.

Anti-Fouling Bottom Paint

Self-polishing anti-fouling coatings prevent marine growth. Reduces fuel consumption and hull maintenance.

Holiday Testing

Every immersion coating is holiday-tested for pinholes. Zero defects before the vessel goes back in the water.

Galvanic Protection

We coordinate with cathodic protection systems. Coating + CP provides comprehensive defense against galvanic corrosion.

Above-Waterline Topcoats

UV-stable polyurethane topcoats for topside surfaces. Color retention and gloss for 10+ years in tropical sun.

Dock & Structure Coating

We also coat pilings, docks, seawalls, and other marine structures. Above and below waterline.

Process

Haul, blast, coat, launch

A complete marine restoration process — from haul-out to relaunch.

Assess & Spec

Inspect hull condition, identify coating system, specify immersion-rated products and anti-fouling system.

Blast to Bare Metal

Dustless blast hull to SP-5 White Metal. Remove old paint, rust, and marine growth. Profile for coating adhesion.

Apply Coating System

Zinc primer (topside), epoxy intermediate, anti-fouling bottom paint. Holiday test all immersion surfaces.

Final Inspection & Launch

DFT survey, holiday test verification, and coating log. Vessel ready for relaunch.

FAQ

Marine restoration questions

Common questions about marine vessel restoration.

We work on vessels hauled out at boatyards or on dry dock. For in-water work on docks, pilings, and seawalls, we use tidal timing and containment to access below-waterline areas.

We use self-polishing copolymer (SPC) anti-fouling paints from International, Hempel, or Pettit depending on vessel type and usage. We select the appropriate product based on your vessel, speed, and waters.

Yes. We apply immersion-rated epoxy systems below the waterline. These systems are holiday-tested to verify zero pinholes before the vessel returns to the water. 15-20 year coating life is typical.

Yes. We assess galvanic corrosion risks, apply proper isolation coatings, and coordinate with cathodic protection systems. Coating + CP provides comprehensive defense for submerged metals.
