Formulated to provide a thermal barrier and anti-condensation protection for harsh marine environments, Mascoat Marine-DTM is a water-based, coating that applies like paint and cures quickly to enhance construction schedules. Marine-DTM is ideal for use in all types of workboats, platforms, barges, yachts ferries, and leisure crafts.

The lightweight coating is currently in use on thousands of marine vessels from Alaska to Antarctica and is designed to solve moisture and thermal transfer issues. It can be used standalone or in conjunction with pin-and-blanket type insulations depending on operation parameters. By using Marine-DTM, owners and operators can prevent moisture damage, block unwanted thermal transfer, reduce maintenance, and eliminate the chance of costly corrosion. 

The coating bonds directly to the surface or primer (if needed), giving your vessels a long-lasting, effective coating solution that will not degrade over time and offer the same protection for years to come.

In early 2021, Mascoat released the latest version, MSC-dB4, drastically improving sound damping characteristics, especially under 300 Hz, and capable of higher application film builds of 40-50 mils per coat to speed up application and help meet delivery schedules.  

The coating’s revolutionary technology minimizes loud vibration due to structural translation and mechanical output—which significantly increases safety and ensures vessel comfort for crew and passengers. Typical total application thicknesses ranges from 40–160 mils (1–4 mm), depending on the application and customer requirements. When the coating is employed, customers can see decibel readings drop 10-15 dB, depending on substrate and thickness specifications. MSC-dB4 can be used all over a vessel, including bow thruster compartments, engine rooms, crew/passenger quarters, decks, overheads, or anywhere vibration is an issue.

Building on the tradition of keeping crew and passengers safer and more comfortable, Mascoat also offers VBS Isolation Mounts. These durable, effective brackets can secure and isolate a wall or suspended ceiling with no metal-to-metal contact between the rail system and the superstructure above. This means that vibrations traveling through the ship will be decoupled from the wall and/or ceiling, making for a much quieter, more comfortable vessel.

To give customers the best performance for their specific needs, Mascoat developed 3 different rubber dampers that each perform depending on the situation, including a fire-resistant, ABS approved version. Mascoat personnel will work closely with designers and owners to find the best solution for each vessel, ensuring successful noise reduction.
