When warm, humid air meets a cooler surface, moisture forms. On unprotected substrates, that moisture can quickly lead to:

• Degraded insulation performance, as traditional systems lose effectiveness when wet
• Corrosion on steel and metal surfaces
• Mold and mildew growth in enclosed or high-humidity environments
• Slip hazards from dripping and pooling water

In industries where temperature differentials are constant — like marine, industrial processing, water and wastewater treatment, and HVAC — condensation is a daily challenge. Left unchecked, it compromises both assets and operations.

This is where spray-applied anti-condensation coatings offer a distinct advantage. By reducing surface temperature differentials between the air and the surface and limiting conditions that cause moisture to form, they help prevent condensation before it starts.

How Aerolon Prevents Condensation

Unlike traditional insulation — which can trap moisture and create hidden failure points — fluid-applied anti-sweat coatings work directly at the surface level.

Key benefits:

• Control surface temperature to stay above the dew point
• Create a seamless membrane and a bonded barrier with no gaps or seams
• Maintain your insulation system’s performance, even in damp or wet conditions

Because these coatings are applied directly to the substrate, they eliminate the air pockets and intrusion points where condensation and corrosion often begin in conventional systems. Plus, Aerolon does not absorb water, so its insulating properties remain even in wet conditions.

Built to Control Condensation at the Source

Aerolon doesn’t just manage moisture — it helps prevent it from forming in the first place.

Its advanced formulation includes a hydrophobic resin and insulating particle blend that:

• Reduces surface temperature fluctuations
• Minimizes the conditions that create condensation
• Produces a durable, water-resistant film

The result is a system that significantly reduces common condensation-related issues like:

• Corrosion under insulation
• Dripping overheads
• Pooling water
• Wet, hazardous walking surfaces

Additionally, biocides within the cured film help inhibit mold and mildew growth, supporting cleaner, more hygienic environments — especially important in enclosed vessel interiors.

Performance That Goes Beyond Moisture Control

Condensation control is just the beginning. The full series of Aerolon products delivers a performance solution — combining corrosion resistance to help mitigate CUI and a lightweight, fluid-applied design that enhances the performance of traditional insulation systems. Built to withstand harsh marine environments, it maintains durability through constant humidity, temperature swings, and demanding conditions.

Efficiency is built in from application to maintenance. With a high-build system applied at up to 50 mils (1.27 mm) DFT per coat, projects can be completed faster with fewer coats and less labor, reducing downtime and overall costs. Easy repairs requiring minimal tools further simplify upkeep, making Aerolon a smarter, more streamlined solution that keeps surfaces dry, assets protected, and operations running efficiently.

Designed for Demanding Environments: Series 972 Aerolon Marine

When condensation control is critical — especially in high-moisture, high-demand marine environments — Series 972 Aerolon Marine is formulated to perform.

This hybrid silicone-acrylic, IMO-approved, water-based coating is specifically designed for harsh marine conditions, where condensation can quickly lead to corrosion, safety hazards, and hygiene-related vessel concerns.

Where it’s used:

• Bulkheads and overheads
• Tanks, pipes, and ductwork
• Vessel interiors and weather-exposed surfaces
• Steel and non-ferrous substrates across a vessel’s structures
