Who is Oceanearing Research and Development?
Tom Newland is the founder/inventor of ArmorGuard, he is a Laminating Engineer and did work for the government. Tom was tired of working with harsh chemicals styrene’s and vinyl esters that make people very sick, so he developed a NON CORROSIVE, ODORLESS RESIN.

What is ArmorGuard?
ArmorGuard is a 100% solid, non-porous, titanium reinforced polymer that forms strands of cross-linked chains of molecules that intertwine which produce unprecedented strength. When mixed, it becomes hot after application the titanium flakes rise to the surface creating an impervious surface. ArmorGuard is Certified Green, non-toxic, odorless, and non-corrosive. It also has Microban (a built in hard surface anti-microbial) mixed in its composition to help resist the growth of microbes (algae, mold, or fungi) it is the World's Strongest Epoxy Coating in the World. ArmorGuard is Recommended for use by Commercial Companies nationwide. We challenged any other product on the market to meet our test standards and we still have not had any competitors.

ArmorGuard Tank Coatings are made from Soybeans, Beans, and Peanuts and have Microban (a built in hard surface anti-microbial) added to its mixture to help resist the growth of algae, mold, and fungi. Most of our process for building or rebuilding tanks is odorless and non corrosive, however, our Tank Top Coats ONLY has an MEK solvent base so there will be a slight odor when applied. The reasoning for this is because of the 22 year old formula, the government will not let us change the formula without paying them a hefty fee. Our NSF/ANSI & FDA coatings only comes in white or gray. These coatings are certified for drinking water, food vats, and biological or fish tanks.

Can you construct tanks?
