SECTORS
Marine and Offshore
ACE polyurea coatings are continuous and completely watertight, suitable for permanent contact with seawater and resistant to salt spray and condensation.
They are used to create non-slip and highly wear-resistant flooring on decks, as well as interior floors with a fire rating of BF1-S1 with decorative finishes that comply with UNE 41901.
ACE anticorrosive systems are classified as C5M High according to ISO 12944:6 and carry the PRS MARINE quality seal.
Along with anti-corrosion protection, our ACE special polyureas for the marine sector, thanks to their resilience, also provide excellent anti-impact protection, which is so important, for example, in boat-landing areas of offshore structures or cargo or military vessels.
Properties
A high-performance polyurea system such as the ACE TOTAL SHIELD line offers, in addition to anti-corrosion protection:
- Superior elongation (400%) maintained at temperatures below 0°C.
- High tensile strength (> 20 MPA)
- High resilience and impact absorption (Gardner > 3 kg)
- Resistant to moisture and permanent contact with seawater
- More resistant to biofilm adhesion than other coatings
- Applied by hot spraying, it cures in seconds, allowing any thickness in a single layer, enabling faster project completion
- Non-harmful solutions for the marine environment, even used in drinking water tanks and fish farms.

Specific applications for offshore structures
Offshore structures, whether made of steel or concrete, face the following challenges:
Corrosion
Impact
Mechanical abrasion and erosion
UV degradation
Extreme temperatures and thermal cycles
Corrosion-fatigue
Biofouling
MIC (Microbially induced corrosion)
Boatlanding areas suffer:
Extreme corrosion: splash zone CX +Im4
Abrasion
Impact (service vessels mainly)
Biofouling
Wind turbine blades suffer:
high-speed, high-frequency impacts caused by raindrops and other particles striking the leading edge of the blades.
Specific applications for naval sector
Decks
Continuous, waterproof, elastic, and highly wear-resistant anti-corrosion treatment with UV resistance; fully accessible and with a non-slip finish.
Floors
Continuous, resilient, bacteriologically stable flooring rated BFL-S1 for indoor fire protection. The entire system can be applied in just a few hours, allowing for almost immediate traffic.
Hulls
Revestimiento anticorrosivo de excelentes propiedades mecánicas y resistencia en ambiente marino incluso a bajas temperaturas. Protege contra el impacto ( >30% resilencia) y no favorece la adhesión de microorganismos.
Deposits
Anti-corrosion coating with excellent mechanical properties and resistance in marine environments, even at low temperatures. It protects against impact (>30% resilience) and does not promote the adhesion of microorganisms.
