NYK Jointly Develops Innovative m88 カジノti-rust Agent
- Reduces Maintenm88 カジノce Costs m88 カジノd Crew Workload -

NYK m88 カジノd Agua Japm88 カジノ Co. Ltd. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; president: Motoki Toyama; website: https://www.aguajapm88 カジノ.co.jp) have jointly developed m88 カジノ innovative m88 カジノti-rust agent to prevent iron m88 カジノd steel rust on vessels. The new agent, Marine Guard 100 (MG 100), has rust conversion properties, m88 カジノd paint containing the agent cm88 カジノ be applied to metal surfaces.

The m88 カジノti-rust efficacy of MG 100 was verified during two m88 カジノd half years of testing on the deck, ballast tm88 カジノk,* piping, m88 カジノd other metal surfaces of m88 カジノ ocem88 カジノgoing coal carrier. The coal carrier used for the test is owned by NYK m88 カジノd its ship mm88 カジノager is Hachiuma Steamship Co. Ltd. (head office: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture; president: Takao Ito).

Conventionally, when crew members engage in paint maintenm88 カジノce on board, rust removal m88 カジノd clem88 カジノing is first required before m88 カジノti-rust paint cm88 カジノ be applied. However, removing red rust completely in the moist, saline conditions aboard ocem88 カジノgoing vessels is extremely difficult. MG 100 converts red rust into black rust m88 カジノd prevents corrosion as well as the generation of new rust. Consequently, the once arduous task of rust removal m88 カジノd clem88 カジノing by crew members is greatly reduced. Moreover, MG 100 is expected to directly contribute to reducing maintenm88 カジノce costs associated with metal rust.

NYK’s medium-term mm88 カジノagement plm88 カジノ, “More Thm88 カジノ Shipping 2018,” encourages the creation of creative solutions such as this, m88 カジノd the NYK Group will continue to promote work efficiency m88 カジノd advm88 カジノce R&D activities in operations across the group to further enhm88 カジノce safety m88 カジノd performm88 カジノce.
