Cargo hold Coatings
A comprehensive range of cargo hold coatings for bulk carriers
High performance cargo hold coatings are demanded and essential these days to satisfy the rigorous demands on hold/coating condition and at the same time minimize maintenance costs and enable smooth operations.
Cargo suitability
General / soft cargo
Hard / aggressive cargo
Protection to damages
Cargo hold coatings can sustain a lot of damages from loading and discharging operations due to mechanical damage. Use of the highly abrasion resistance coatings in the CMP range can extend a special survey, providing longer life and minimising maintenance costs during the in-service period.
General / soft cargo
Hard / aggressive cargo
Food contact
The majority of cargo hold coatings have been assessed for contact with foodstuffs, which are used for direct human consumption or human contact. All CMP hold coating systems meet the requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) of the Food and Drug administration (FDA) in the U.S as well as meeting the European requirements, from assessment at independent European test organisations.

Notes. Hardness value of pencil to measure abrasive resistance of coatings
- 1.
- Higher pencil hardness value is related to higher abrasion resistance of the coating system.

- For suitable dry cargoes, see the bulk cargo resistance list.
- 3.
- UMEGUARD SUPER H, BANNOH 1500 and UMEGUARD SX HS are all available in Quick Drying versions (QD), see relevant technical data sheets. EVAMAX 2000F can be applied under all climate conditions.
