Marine Topcoats

Rawlins Paints stock a range of marine paint topcoats for application to the majority of primed areas on a boat above and below the water line. These products last longer than most topcoats due to them being specifically developed for tough environments where contact with water, salt spray and year-round weather is expected. Although their primary function is to protect and decorate boats, they are extremely effective when used in other areas on suitably primed timber, metal and GRP.

Marine paint topcoats are available as part of a full system installation on coastal and offshore structures and vessels, including:

• Oil exploration and drilling vessels
• Offshore support vessels
• Offshore production vessels
• Construction and special purpose vessels
• Drill ships
• Jack-up vessels
• Semi-submersible vessels and platforms
• Offshore barges
• Floating platforms
• Fixed platforms
• Tenders
• Anchor handling tug vessels (AHTV)
• Seismic vessels
• Platform supply vessels (PSVs)
• Well-intervention vessels
• Accommodation ships
• Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO)
• Single point anchor reservoir (SPAR) platforms
• Shuttle tankers
• Tension leg platforms (TLP)
• Diving support vessels
• Crane vessels
• Pipe laying vessels
• Compliant towers
• Tension-leg platforms
• Spar platforms
• Normally unmanned installations (NUI)
• Conductor support systems

As well as for canal, river, sea and ocean vehicles and vessels:

• Ships
• Boats
• Yachts
• Barges
• Narrow-boats

Along with marine topcoats for submerged materials and substrates, Rawlins Paints also distribute an extensive range of industrial metal paint systems for power plants and chemical processing facilities which may require specialist tank and pipe lining coatings for water-cooling infrastructures.

Coastal areas, including shipping docks and ports, often require coating systems that can withstand excessive environmental changes for transportation of goods around the world, on vessels included, but not limited to:

• General cargo vessels
• Container ships
• Tankers
• Dry bulk carriers
• Multi-purpose vessels
• Reefer ships

Cargo holds are often subjected to the harshest operating environments, and without specific and successfully installed marine paint systems – primers, undercoats and topcoats – can be subject to impact and abrasion damage, or mechanical damage or failure, from the loading and carriage of dry cargoes across Europe or further afield. As faster loading techniques and equipment is utilised in major ports around the UK and Ireland, installing the correct coating system is imperative to minimising damage, attaining colour retention on all branded surfaces, and protecting surfaces and materials against UV damage and discolouration, salt-water and sea-spray, and more.
