Publication dateJuly 2024. NOA 60 HS-N: a high-quality pure epoxy with excellent abrasion resistance, designed with full consideration of health, safety and environmental factors. The special phenolic resin formulation strengthens crack resistance at welds, improves rust prevention and adhesion, and provides excellent resistance to seawater and cathodic disbondment. Suitable for multiple uses, particularly for ships' ballast tanks, void spaces, onshore tanks and industrial storage facilities. This product is certified per the PSPC requirements of IMO MSC.215(82) (Performance Standard for Protective Coatings for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks and Double-side Skin Spaces of Bulk Carriers) and holds a type approval certificate.

(1) Yellow — visual film thickness (SI) technology. This product has a unique patented visual film thickness (SI) technology that lets the applicator visually confirm correct film thickness during application by observing whether the film colour changes to a full bright yellow.

(2) Grey, dark grey, iron red, mustard yellow — without SI, visible film thickness technology

Steel pre-treatment

Remove weld spatter, smooth welds, and grind sharp edges to a radius of at least 2 mm, or use the three-pass grinding technique or similar treatment.

Surface cleaning

All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of contaminants.

Wash with high-pressure fresh water or fresh water to remove all oil, grease, soluble salts and foreign matter.

Soluble salt limit expressed as NaCl≤50 mg/m² sodium chloride.

Dust of size classes “3”, “4” or “5” with a distribution rating of “1”.

Finer dust visible on the surface to be coated without magnification must be removed (ISO 8502-31993)

Shop primer

Type-approved shop primer compatible with NOA 60 HS, blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) per the MSC 215(82) PSPC standard, with roughness

in the range 30–75 µm (ISO 8503-1/21988).

Tested shop primer: clean by sweep blasting, high-pressure water washing or other equivalent methods.

Welded areas, if the shop primer is rusted or damaged, must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-12007)
Shop primer without type approval must be blast cleaned to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-12007), remove at least 70% of the intact shop primer.
Welded areas, if the shop primer is rusted or damaged, must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-12007).
The surface roughness of any blast-cleaned area should be in the range 30–75 µm (ISO 8503-1/21988).

Repair

NOA 60HS may be sprayed immediately after stripe coating, while remaining within the specified maximum coating interval. Once the maximum recoat interval is exceeded, the surface shall be abraded with power tools before re-coating.

After erection

Erection weld seams and adjacent areas must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or cleaned with power tools to St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007).

Minor damage, not exceeding 2% of the total area, may be power-tool cleaned to St3 (ISO 8501-12007).
Damage exceeding 25 m² or more than 2% of the total tank area shall be blast-cleaned to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-12007)

Mixing

The paint is supplied as a complete unit of two separately packaged components; mix in the supplied ratio.

Once mixed, use within the specified pot life.

(1) Stir the base with a power tool. (2) Pour the curing agent into the base and mix, stirring thoroughly with a power tool

Gun tip size0.53 ~ 0.79 mm (GRACO 521-531,621-631)
Spray fan angle45–55° (repair); 30–35°
Output pressure150–250 kg/cm². Brush/roller: for small-area touch-up and stripe coating only.

Pot life

8 h (5 °C)4 h (20 °C), 3 h (30 °C), 1.5 h (40 °C). At high temperature (2 h/35 °C), the pot life shortens after mixing, so avoid mixing excessive quantities under such conditions.

Application steps

NOA 60 HS may be applied in one or two coats; its special formulation eliminates the solvent entrapment risk that usually occurs with high-film-thickness single-coat application. Therefore, single-coat application is recommended where possible.

Touch-up

This product has high solids content; two touch-up coats achieve the specified film thickness. Use the following touch-up technique: 1. Load the brush or roller fully each time. Rollers may be used on scallop openings, rat holes and similar, but not on free edges or welds.

2. Apply light pressure for touch-up so more paint remains on the surface; repeated heavy pressure only spreads the paint thinly and aerates the film, which must be avoided as far as possible.

3. For rough, back-run welds at scallop openings, draw the loaded tool edge-to-edge across the weld so that paint penetrates the weld pores.

4. Pre-coating of difficult-to-spray areas is generally essential, such as rough welds, back-run welds, free edges, scallop openings, drain holes, air holes, dead corners, stiffeners and brackets.

Although NOA 60 HS has better flexibility than ordinary epoxy coatings, good application practice should still be followed: do not apply too thickly over stressed welds. Stripe coating should be avoided at locations prone to spray overlapping, such as corners or right-angle weld structures.

NOA 60HS may be sprayed immediately after stripe coating, while remaining within the specified maximum coating interval.

Safety

Take the necessary protective measures to avoid skin and eye contact (e.g. gloves, safety glasses, face shield, barrier cream).

Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying to keep solvent vapour concentrations within safe limits.
