The Proof Behind
the Authority

Disney Magic and Disney Dream needed hull coatings that could take constant saltwater and marine growth while running a punishing global cruise schedule. On top of that, Disney wanted fewer trips to dry dock and lower fuel bills out of the deal.

We applied the Polyglyde® hard-coat hull system in 2008, the first time it had gone on a ship, and tuned it to how each vessel actually operates. It worked well enough that both ships later had it taken across their full hulls and rudders.

A large maritime operator had pumps that were badly corroded and worn inside. They were running well down on efficiency, and most repair shops had written them off as not worth fixing.

We coated the pump internals with the Polyflake® resin system and reconditioned the impellers, bearings and mechanical seals by hand. The shaft was rebuilt in a high-corrosion-resistance alloy, then we dynamically balanced it and ran it through pressure and electrical insulation tests before it went back.

An aging onboard fuel and service pipeline network had deteriorated and required full rehabilitation, including sections running through multiple 90° elbows that conventional pipe replacement methods couldn't reach. The Polytube® GRP reverse lining system was specified as the only viable solution.

We deployed the Polytube® reverse lining system: a structural fiberglass (GRP) inversion liner inverted and cured in place, threading through multiple 90° elbows with no pipe disassembly. Spool pieces were removed at the entry and exit points to launch and recover the liner, completed with a crew of just 3.
