Dehumidification for ballast tank coatings

Ship ballast tanks present themselves to very corrosive exposures. The paper briefly outlines the nature of corrosion in ballast tanks,concepts of corrosion and supports application of Protective Coatings as an effectivetool for preventing it. Explaining the effect of high humidity while preparing the surface for coating, the need to control the moisture level of the surrounding air to prevent premature coating failure is identified. The paper proposes the use of dehumidifiers for removing moisture from air while preparing and coating the surface for improved coating performance.
