Intershield® 163 Inerta® 160 Abrasion Resistant Low Friction Ice Coating Introduction Vessel operators who trade in ice face a number of difficult challenges: • Extremes of low temperature • Severe abrasion • Ice adhesion to the outside shell Traditional anticorrosive systems, including standard pure epoxies, are unable to offer a solution to these challenges. Intershield 163 Inerta 160, an abrasion resistant ice coating developed over 30 years ago, has established an unrivalled in service performance reputation. Specifically designed for operators that trade in the Baltic Sea region, Intershield 163 Inerta 160 has been specified and used successfully on over 700 vessels trading in ice including; • Ice breakers with the potential of trade in multi year ice • Ice class vessels that trade in first year ice Intershield 163 Inerta 160: unrivalled in service performance in ice conditions.
