Environment
OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN ZERO FLUOROCARBONS
Fluorocarbons are fluorinated organic molecules widely called PFAS.
A Ban of PFAS was submitted in July 2022, after which the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will perform both a social-economic and a risk assessment of the proposal.
A final agreement by EU countries could come by 2025.
PFAS substances, which don't break down naturally, have been shown to accumulate in the environment and cause a host of health conditions, including cancer, liver damage and decreased fertility. Data from the U.S. Environment Protection Agency also showed that their production releases potent greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. It can take more than 450 years for PVC to biodegrade.
Ocean Flexible Coatings is proud to work alongside Marine Shield highlighting this problem and enforcing this change. The Marine Shield suite of products contain no fluorocarbons.
Marine Shields’ coatings are exclusive and have specific requirements that are outside of the capabilities of most manufactures, the MS200 Flex still performs and can out perform coatings that do have PFAS in them.
FAQ
How does MS200 Flex perform?
MS200 was established in New Zealand 12 years ago. Originally designed for the marine industry to seal a vinyl wrapped yacht hull, it was soon discovered it performs to prolong the life of lorry curtains and protect them from road surface film making them less labour intensive to clean and keeping them looking good. With its impressive protective performance MS200 went on to successfully protect other PVC materials including canopies, marquees, outdoor inflatables and parasols. MS200 is designed to make your product last longer and deliver maximum protection from the ever-increasing harmful UV rays and pollution. Marine Shield takes pride in their products that contain no fluorocarbons, working with the environment to help prevent PVC products retiring to a landfill ten years earlier than they should.
How much paint do I need?
MS200 Flex comes in either a 3 litre kit, or a 6 litre kit.

MS200 Flex can also be ordered as a colour, so if you want your blue lorry curtains red, MS200 can do this with all the extra benefits. Coloured / Pigmented MS200 is a special order item so please allow approx. 12 weeks for custom colour this can be matched to your requirements of pantone / RAL / CMYK etc.
Can MS200 Flex be used as a non-slip coating?
When mixed with the appropriate grit, such as fine - medium paint granules this can then be applied to items like inflatable docks / paddleboards, PVC tube floor matting, PVC covered catamaran trampolines etc
How long does it last on the shelf?
(From date of manufacture) Part A will last 3 years+, unopened, when stored as per instructions. Part B can last up to 5 years.
How long will MS200 last, once opened?
As long as the lid is replaced firmly and quickly, straight after use, Part A will last up to 12 weeks, Part B can last for up to 3 years.
How long does it last once Part A and Part B have been mixed?
Once mixed, it has a relatively short pot life, This will vary on temperature and humidity from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
Hotter weather/ higher humidity, will cause the paint to go off faster, and the cooler the weather/ lower humidity will allow the paint to be useable for longer. We recommend mixing small amounts, 1-2 litres at a time (depending on size of application) we can supply a reducer to slow down the setting, this will help keep the paint fresh throughout the application process
