Polymeric interior and exterior marine decking systems provide both decorative and functional protection for ships, aircraft carriers, and offshore drilling platforms. Interior decking systems includes coatings, color flake and quartz systems, terrazzo, and underlayments, which are applied in areas such as galleys, living quarters, and wet spaces.
Polymeric interior and exterior marine decking systems provide both decorative and functional protection for ships, aircraft carriers, and offshore drilling platforms. Interior decking systems includes coatings, color flake and quartz systems, terrazzo, and underlayments, which are applied in areas such as galleys, living quarters, and wet spaces. Tough and durable non-skid coatings are engineered for use on military vessels including aircraft carriers as well as in areas of offshore oil and gas industry for enhancing safety. Various systems are generally developed to meet the requirements of Military Specifications and IMO approvals. This article will discuss the technologies and applications of the current systems in the polymeric marine decking industry.
Qualified U.S. Navy nonskid coatings are two-component (2K) epoxy-based systems that contain various sizes of aggregate. Once mixed, these highly viscous coatings are applied using a napless roller to generate a “peak and valley” profile that provides skid/slip-resistance when cured. The roll-application process is slow and inconsistent, and appearance is often determined by experience of the applicator.

Silicone alkyds are single-component (1K) systems and do not require the mixing of components before application. These systems are easy for sailors to apply (via brush or roll), have an indefinite pot-life in a closed can, and will cure under harsh marine conditions, which are why these coatings have been utilized on the exterior topsides of Navy surface ships since the early 1960s. However, these “user friendly” coatings provide limited color and gloss retention, limited resistance to shipboard hydrocarbons, and limited resistance to staining from running rust and soot.
Fourteen countries, 20 states, and 76 bases…that sounds like quite a deployment! But what if, instead, you are charged with the evaluation and maintenance of over 500 water-storage tanks and related structures on those bases. Who would you turn to for professional guidance? How would you keep all of the details of the structures’ conditions and recommendations for maintenance organized in a manner that would allow you to rate and prioritize tank maintenance requirements?
