Proven tank coating system – maximum resistance to aggressive cargoes

The PPG PHENGUARD 965 product is a three-coat tank lining system that was developed to meet the increasing demands for a product that had a wide application window, easy-to-clean surface and the ability to be applied and to cure at temperatures down to 5°C (41°F).

Suitable for aggressive waste cargoes such as grey water and galley waste or high-purity, high-value cargoes, and with excellent resistance to the widest range of chemicals and refined products including methanol, EDC and fatty acids, the PPG PHENGUARD 965 product has a long track record of delivering measurable benefits for shipyards and owners.

At PPG, we understand that customers need to maximize their revenue-earning potential in a competitive market place, and that it is vital that chemical and product tankers have the flexibility to transport the widest range of cargoes with the minimum of downtime. Possessing a superior curing speed that benefits both shipyards and ship operators alike, the PPG PHENGUARD 965 system reduces the time to 'first cargo' and its improved application characteristics give a smoother surface for easier cleaning, thus reducing idle time and associated costs.
