ItemReference ValueSpecification Note
Primer DFT50 - 70 um typicalConfirm with latest product TDS and project specification.
High-build epoxy optionUp to 300 um with JDH836For heavy-duty steel where thick-film protection is required.
Antifouling selectionSelf-polishing or chlorinated rubberChoose by route, speed, idle time, fouling pressure, and budget.
Finish selectionPU, acrylic, or alkydUse PU where appearance and weathering resistance matter.

Construction Suggestions

Download guides ->
Before final coating work, verify substrate condition, environment, compatibility, and the latest TDS.
  • Check old coating compatibility before overcoating.
  • Use Sa 2.5 blast cleaning where specified for heavy-duty steel.
  • Respect mix ratio, induction time, pot life, and recoat window in latest TDS.
  • Ask for quantity calculation when hull area, DFT, and loss factor are available.

Can JD Marine supply a full vessel coating schedule?

Yes. Share vessel type, operation area, surface condition, and dry-docking plan so the team can suggest primer, intermediate, antifouling, and finish layers.

Can this page be used for both newbuilding and repair?

Yes. The final system should be adjusted after confirming surface preparation, previous coating, and target service life.

Do I need different systems above and below the waterline?

Usually yes. Below-waterline areas need anti-corrosion plus antifouling, while topsides and superstructures often use epoxy plus polyurethane finish.
