Ship Hold Cleaner

Slip Barrier Coats HOLD BLOCK

Product code RXSOL-22-2210-210

Polymer BASED non reactive coating materials which makes thin film barrier on surface after dry. Due to formation of RXSOL THIN barrier film on surface, the cleaning operation after unloading becomes quicker and easier with optimum results.

Description

Polymer based Hold coating product, Easy to apply on SHIP HOLD SURFACE.  Slip Barrier Coats HOLD BLOCK is POLYMER BASED non-reactive coating materials which makes thin film barrier on the surface after dry. Due to the formation of RXSOL THIN barrier film on the surface, the cleaning operation after unloading becomes quicker and easier with optimum results.

Application
Application

RXSOL HOLD BLOCK is a Heavy Duty protective Solution for hold of vessels, which carry corrosive and/or messy cargos such as sulfur salt petcock coal, and concentrates. It can be easily removed with itRecommendation Dose for smooth surface : 

for Sulphur, Salt, etc        100 Ltrs/Hold for HANDYMAX & 150 Ltrs/Hold for PANAMAX
& for Petcoke, Coal, etc   200 Ltrs/Hold for HANDYMAX & 250 Ltrs/Hold for PANAMAX

This material can be used directly with low-pressure machine or manually by a garden spray pump. in general practice on smooth & clean surface each drum of 210 ltrs cover 2000 to 2500 sq meters while on rough and rusted surfaces require more quantities of materials.

What is Hold Block and why hold block application is better than LIME WASH?

When aggressive or corrosive dry bulk cargoes—such as fertilizers, salt, coal, or sulphur—come into direct contact with the metal surfaces of ship holds, they can cause rapid corrosion and surface degradation due to chemical reactions. This not only weakens the structural integrity of the vessel but also leads to costly repairs and safety risks.

To prevent such reactions and ensure long-lasting surface protection, a polymer-based protective coating is the ideal solution.

Why Use Polymer based HOLD BLOCK Coating in Cargo Holds?

  • Chemical Resistance
    Acts as a barrier against corrosive cargoes, preventing direct metal contact and chemical reaction.

  • Easy Application
    Applied by brush, roller, or spray before cargo loading. Forms a durable, even protective film.

  • Temporary or Voyage-Specific Use
    Perfect for short-term voyages carrying highly reactive cargoes, allowing for easy cleaning and reapplication after discharge.

  • Prevents Pitting & Rust Formation
    Shields steel from moisture, acidic residues, and abrasion, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

 

Field and Typical Applications of HOLD BLOCK

 

  • Sulphur

  • Salt

  • Phosphates

  • Urea

  • Coal & Petcoke

  • Cement

  • Bauxite

Why Hold Block is better choice than LIME COATING

  • Polymer-based water-resistant coating

  • Safe on all standard marine metal surfaces

  • Compatible with hold cleaning chemicals

  • Non-reactive, non-toxic, and easy to remove

  • Protects for the entire duration of cargo voyage

 

Recommended Use of Cargo Hold Block 

 

Apply 1–2 coats uniformly across cargo hold surfaces prior to loading reactive cargo. For enhanced protection, focus on:

  • Tank tops

  • Bulkheads

  • Frames and internal structures

  • Hatch coamings
