The world&'s first diamond-coated multihull yacht is due to make its debut later this year thanks to an innovative partnership between AkzoNobel and Jean Boulle Luxury.
Binders that show a high contact angle both before and after the salt spray test perform better for corrosion protection, compared to those that show low contact angles before and after the test.
The results of this study can offer significant performance gains in formulating high-solids, high-build epoxy coatings. This is particularly important in regions where VOC emissions must be reduced significantly.
A high-performance, chemical resistant, two-component epoxy coating, Hempadur 15600 is designed specifically for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) cargo tank protection.
AkzoNobel is working to develop a fouling prevention technology that uses ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LED). The pioneering solution – which uses underlying technology developed by Royal Philips – will be applied to underwater surfaces to eliminate fouling growth.
Customers using AkzoNobel's yacht coatings can now take advantage of a new digital tool that offers a wide selection of colors from the company's Awlgrip product range.
