Product information

NAVADAN HOLD COAT provides a thin temporary barrier film between the cargo and the cargo hold surfaces making the cleaning operation after unloading/offloading quicker and easier, and optimal cleaning results are achieved. It can use for selected dry, hygroscopic cargoes. Also available in 200 LTR drum packaging (4000117).

Features

  • Provides temporary protection by preventing cargo from adhering to the hold walls, hence reduce turnaround times.
  • Suitable for short to medium voyage (approx. 14-21 days)
  • Avoid for wet weather loading and high cargo sweat risk.
  • NAVADAN HOLD COAT may also be sprayed on deck, superstructure and other areas exposed to dust during loading and unloading operations.
  • Comply with Marpol Annex V

Benefits

  • Saves cleaning time and cleaning chemicals
  • Easy to apply – easy to remove with water (warm or high-pressure)
  • Safe to the environment (Non HME) and to the personnel handling it and will not contaminate the cargo
  • Completely safe on all coatings.
  • Non corrosive

Directions for use

How it works: After drying, NAVADAN HOLD COAT creates a thin, non-sticky film on the cargo hold surfaces. The film substantially facilitates the cleaning before next cargo in two ways:

  1. The film fills the minute pores in the surface, and prevents that small particles are trapped in the pores.
  2. Small, solid particles can be very difficult to remove especially from organic coatings, even with the use of effective cleaning agents and high-pressure water jets. The reason is the build up of electromagnetic forces, and sometimes the only way to remove the particles is by manual scrubbing. Navadan Hold Coat provides a barrier between the particles and the surface that minimizes this problem.
  3. To remove, water (warm or high pressure) or an alkaline cleaner can be used.

Direction for Use and Dose rates: The cargo hold surfaces should be as clean and dry as possible before application. NAVADAN HOLD COAT is supplied in a ready to use concentration and may be applied directly from the drum or jerrycan. Spray the liquid on the cargo hold surfaces by the use of suitable low-pressure spraying equipments such as Navadan Applicator Kit (2009027) / Navadan Ultimate Kit (2009029) / Navadan Panamax Kit (2009025).

Begin application at the bottom of the bulkheads and work progressively upwards. Maintain a distance of approximately 0.5 metres between the spray nozzle and the surface. Avoid remaining stationary in one position; instead, move slowly sideways along the bulkheads while spraying to ensure even coverage. Before leaving the hold, ensure that the tank tops are also thoroughly treated. Navadan Hold Coat should be misted only.

As soon as the surface appears water wet, a proper film is created; do not apply more than necessary. 1 litre Navadan Hold Coat will cover around 10~20 m2, depending on cargohold condition Allow the film to dry completely before loading the cargo. Depending on air temperature and humidity this will take approx. 1~2 hours. We recommend that NAVADAN HOLD COAT is only applied when outside temperature is above 5°C.

Removal Instructions: Remove as much remaining loose cargo as possible by dry sweeping, as per normal procedures. Rinse down bulkheads with high-pressure water. Let dry. Cleaning after discharge procedures may vary depending on the type of cargo. We recommend to conduct patch tests to determine the most effective cleaning method.
