Antifouling Coatings Ensure Smooth Sailing - Posted 2/13/08

February 13, 2008
RELIUS coatings from BASF Coatings provide corrosion protection for steel ships and prevent algae, mussels, barnacles, and microorganisms from adhering to the hull. This “antifouling” capability helps ensure smoother, faster sailing and lower fuel consumption.

RELIUS coatings from BASF Coatings provide corrosion protection for steel ships and prevent algae, mussels, barnacles, and microorganisms from adhering to the hull. This “antifouling” capability helps ensure smoother, faster sailing and lower fuel consumption, and is especially beneficial when ships and boats have long lay times or are cruising on lakes and inshore water. The coatings can also be used to coat ballast tanks and non-skid deck surfaces for passenger, vehicle, and helicopter decks.
