Approved paints, resins and associated materials Scheme
Lloyd's Register's product approval schemes play a key role to
the success of our reputation for quality.
What is Lloyd's Register Approved paints, resins and associated
materials scheme?
The approved paints etc. scheme provides manufacturers with
recognition for the standards of their products which, in turn,
benefits their clients. Indeed, all non-metallic materials used in
the construction and repair of Lloyd's Register classed or
certified ships, other marine structures and associated machinery,
must be approved or recognised by us.
How does Lloyd's Register help?
All these materials are subject to approval in accordance with
Lloyd's Register Rules for Materials or recognition in accordance
with our published guidance.
We maintain lists of materials meeting these requirements in the
following categories:
- coatings: including prefabrication primers, corrosion control
coatings, and maintenance coatings for seawater ballast tanks.
- construction materials: including, polyester resins,
glass-fibre reinforcements, carbon and para-aramid reinforcements,
core materials for sandwich construction, adhesives/bonding pastes,
chocking resins, synthetic rudder and pintle bearing
materials.
The lists are available on this web site by following the
'useful links' to ClassDirect Live. Each firm's entry also contains
contact details. The email and web links are active to give
potential clients quick access to the manufacturer.
