To address the issue of mold in the Navy fleet, a new program has begun developing a biocidal mold-inhibiting coating alongside an industry partner for use in ship interior spaces. This coating is based on an already qualified MIL-PRF-24596 coating with the addition of mold-inhibiting additives.
The companies are working together to help further develop a pioneering fouling control solution that uses UV-C light technology to keep ships’ underwater hulls clean.
How does the right paint enable a ship to use less fuel? This article discusses choosing the right marine coating and the corresponding environmental considerations.
These new solutions are an addition to the company’s marine portfolio and are qualified under MIL-PRF-32584 for monolithic deck covering materials for interior shipboard applications.
Challenging projects that preserved a nuclear-powered U.S. Navy vessel and protected a new renewable energy-producing dairy waste digester demonstrated excellence in the coatings industry.
The coating helps shipowners lower power consumption and carbon emissions, meeting the demand for higher performance with no adverse impact on the marine environment.
