Kort nozzle coating – a convincing solution for problem areas under impact and corrosion stress. Conventional brittle epoxy ceramic products are not sufficient when it comes to vibration and wear. The elastomeric MetaLine technology will show you completely new problem solutions in this area . . .
Rudder Propeller Repair – coating this Kort nozzle ring extends its service life and minimizes vibrations. But keep your hands off the propellers! Propeller coatings for thrusters are not advisable, as they would result in a loss of performance. This is not the case with a Kort nozzle ring coating!
Azimuth Truster Coating – the elastomeric MetaLine 785 coating on a Truster nozzle can withstand a lot - even the occasional collision with ice! But its primary purpose is to protect against erosion in shallow water, cavitation at high speeds, and corrosion
Tunnel Thruster Coating - MetaLine prevents bimetallic corrosion between the stainless steel of the nozzle ring and the steel hull. In addition, the rubber-like protective coating absorbs enormous impact and shock loads - all at a price-performance ratio that no epoxy ceramic can match . . .
Tunnel Thruster coating – Application type: sprayed. Smoothness: excellent. Calibration: as demanded. Adhesion: exceptional. Service life: unmatches to date by other coatings. Costs: lower than any other coating- and repair-compound. Availability: in major ports around the world
Tunnel Thruster Coating – when speed is everything, MetaLine 785 is the solution! One example is this tunnel thruster, over 3 meters (13 ft) high, from a South African frigate. The tunnel showed severe cavitation damage, and all previous repair and coating attempts had failed. WE were able to solve the problem!
Bow thruster coating – MetaLine elastomeric coatings are not active anti-fouling systems. Although fouling does occur, it can be removed using high-pressure water (up to a maximum of 150 bar – 2,175 psi). The photo shows the condition of the coating before cleaning after 16 months of operation on a Spanish ferry. Note: The propeller is not coated
Thruster Coating – MetaLine 785 offers cavitation protection, impact resistance, corrosion protection, and flow optimization—all from a single source. MetaLine elastomeric coatings cover a range of performance capabilities that no other thermoset coating can currently match
Propeller shaft coating – MetaLine 785 applied in a 6 mm (240 mils) thick layer to this solid propeller shaft on a Spanish submarine. With this, the Finnish propulsion manufacturer has successfully replaced the original 12 mm (1/2 inch) thick rubber coating and significantly improved corrosion protection
Propeller Shaft Coating – 3 mm (120 mils) MetaLine 785 protects the propeller shafts of this frigate. Our coating has proven so effective that all ships in this Arab flotilla have been treated with it. The reasons for this include its low weight, seamless finish, smoothness, impact resistance, and, last but not least, its sprayability during application
Waterjet Propulsion Coating – the intake tunnel of this waterjet was optimized using 3 mm (120 mils) MetaLine 785. The reason for this was the severe cavitation damage at the transition to the nozzle, as well as mechanical damage and sand erosion within the intake tunnel itself – a technical necessity, as it is often made of aluminum . . .
Waterjet Propulsion Coating – a coated waterjet propulsion system after 2 years of operation in the Caribbean. The stator looks like new. No fouling. No erosion. No mechanical damage. You couldn’t ask for more from a protective coating in warm saltwater.
Water jet propulsion – the thrust reverser on jet engines is subjected to particularly high stresses. Since they are typically used only in shallow water, erosion caused by sand wears down the material just as much as cavitation caused by pressure differences in the air bubbles. Elastomer coatings can withstand the alternating compression and tension better than hard coatings = MetaLine 785!
Propeller coatings – we advise against propeller coatings! In fact, anti-fouling protection is usually unnecessary for commercial vessels due to their constant operation. Furthermore, a coating always alters the blade dynamics and efficiency—regardless of what other sellers claim online. The laws of physics are indisputable . . .
Propeller Coating – Coating propellers is not a universal solution to cavitation problems. The resulting changes in blade dynamics and increased fuel consumption argue against full-surface coating, except in very rare cases such as this vessel. Partial coating of propellers is technically unacceptable!
Waterjet propulsion coating – a MetaLine 785 protective coating specified by the propulsion system manufacturer. Unfortunately, we repeatedly see zinc anodes being attached to aluminum components during operation. Zinc and aluminum are electrochemically incompatible; a coating does nothing to change that! You wouldn’t attach anodes to rubber either!
Shaft bearing coating – another standard application for MetaLine 785 – the rudders and shaft bearings on these patrol boats (TNC35) must be “rubber-coated” with MetaLine to withstand the extreme cavitation conditions!
