OVERVIEW
NOA. Nippon Paint Marine's unique, self-indicating technology. Ensures correct paint thickness will be applied.
Since 1998, NOA has been applied to ships, improving application accuracy and performance. Using NOA extends the life of the ship.
Different NOA versions are now available to work on and in different parts of the ship, according to the anticorrosive needs of that area. Nippon Paint Marine has created high performance anti-abrasive epoxy schemes with pigments that have various opacities depending on its thickness. If you can see through it, NOA’s thickness is too low. This remarkably simple concept enables owners and yards ability to see when the coating has been applied to the correct thickness. Applying the correct thickness – especially on edges and corners is fundamental to protection.
Correct thickness – even on edges and corners; can be seen with NOA even if it can’t be measured conventionally. NOA stands for Nippon Paint Marine Optimized and Advanced Coating System.
Key Features
FEATURES
SI (Self-Indicating) Technology
Why NOA available in Buff colour?
Nippon Paint Marine’s chemists studied colour differences and opacities through various colour pigments. They found that buff and blue were most suitable for self-indicating (SI) technology – with buff the best.
Notes
Colour had to differ from that of the substrate (bare steel or shop primer), with lower opacity
Colour development was modified and studied to ensure that pigment and opacity levels combined correctly to the specified thickness of NOA applied. Correlation between visual evaluation and DFT.
