Marine Anti-Fouling Coatings
Marine antifouling coatings are underwater hull coating systems designed to limit fouling accumulation during service.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Marine Anti-Fouling Coatings are applied to ships and offshore structures both in sea and fresh water environments. Antifouling coatings are specialized paints applied to the ship’s hull to slow the marine growth on the underwater area which can affect the vessels performance and durability. In addition to preventing marine growth, the hull coating can also act as a barrier against hull corrosion that will degrade and weaken the metal. It also improves the flow of water passing the hull of a fishing vessel or high-performance racing yacht.
Biocidal, self-polishing and fouling-release approaches use different mechanisms. Formulation, allowable use and application requirements must be assessed for the particular system.
Speed, idle periods and water conditions change fouling pressure. Hull roughness, cleaning and coating damage also affect the vessel's operating result.
What turns activity into demand
A frequently moving vessel and a long-idle vessel do not present the same surface conditions. Separate antifouling paint volume from hull area, docking work and complete marine coating systems.
The commercial boundary
Separate antifouling paint volume from hull area, docking work and complete marine coating systems.
