In recent years, a relatively new innovation added to the marine coatings technology toolbox has been shaking things up and gaining some serious traction in the maritime industry.
Selektope®, an active agent added during the paint formulation process, was approved by the EU Standing Committee on Biocidal Products for EU-wide use from the 1st of January 2016. Since then, it has made great waves in the marine antifouling coatings market, with multiple products developed and brought to market by major players in the marine antifouling coatings industry.
