Marine

The marine industry is vital to global trade, transporting around 11 billion tons of goods annually. As the maritime sector grows, the demand for efficient and eco-friendly solutions is increasing. At Evonik, we provide advanced marine coatings that meet the rigourous standards of this dynamic market, ensuring outstanding performance and a commitment to sustainability.

Protecting our oceans while enhancing safety
With increasing pressure to deliver cargo efficiently, the marine industry must also comply with strict environmental regulations. Worker safety and environmental responsibility drive new product development in marine coatings. At Evonik, we understand that while no single coating solution can tackle all environmental issues, collective efforts can make a significant impact to make the world a better place.  By utilizing innovative coatings, we can protect our oceans and enhance the safety of marine workers.

Innovative solutions for modern challenges
Maintaining or enhancing the lifespan of ships and marine infrastructure with protective coatings is essential. Modern marine coatings must prioritize environmental health by eliminating hazardous air pollutants and ensuring the safety of applicators. This evolution requires innovative solutions that move beyond traditional Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like solvents and plasticizers. Our revolutionary ultra-low emission curing agent technology, featuring Ancamine® and Ancamide® low viscosity products, minimizes plasticizers, enabling protective epoxy paints to significantly reduce VOC levels without compromising performance. These curing agents enhance corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring marine structures maintain their performance for years, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and keeping maritime workers safer.

Achieving sustainability goals
By adopting Evonik’s advanced marine coatings, the industry can contribute to the International Maritime Organization’s goal of cutting total greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050. Embrace sustainability and operational efficiency with solutions that lower maintenance and operational costs.

General marine coatings
Our marine primers are engineered for flexibility, adhesion and exceptional corrosion resistance. Featuring Ancamide® and Ancamine® curing agents in both summer and winter grades, these primers ensure optimal performance and excellent overcoatability in varying conditions. Their fast-curing properties enhance productivity and ensure a quick return to service.

Cargo holds
Designed for the demands of the harsh conditions loading and unloading, our Ancamide® and Ancamine® curing agents offer superior mechanical properties, including abrasion resistance and protection against extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals.

Water ballast tanks 
These essential components of ship construction require coatings that deliver outstanding corrosion protection. Our Ancamide® and Ancamine® curing agents are built for long service life and low maintenance, with options for ultra-high solids or solvent-free systems, suitable for ambient, low-temperature, and high-humidity environments.
