AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - A biocide-free anti-slime coating developed by AkzoNobel's Marine Coatings business has been named overall winner of the ICIS Innovation Awards for 2015.
Intersleek 1100SR, part of the company's International® range, is the first foul-release coating to work against slime. By cutting down on drag, it offers ship operators major fuel savings, resulting in lower emissions. It also enables owners who switch from a biocidal antifouling to earn carbon credits.
