CRX Coatings introduces a graphene-infused bottom paint, aiming to improve hull protection and performance in the boating industry.

The marine coatings market is projected to have substantial growth through 2034, driven by environmental regulations, offshore energy expansion and advancements in coating technologies.

Bio-degradable citrate esters have excellent toxicological and eco-toxicological profiles, and provide good versatility and compatibility with numerous polymers. Read how they compare to standard coalescing agents.

This comes as vessel owners and operators face stricter regulatory requirements, while roughly six in ten say they will invest in anti-fouling coatings to reduce their vessels' carbon emissions.

A game-changer in marine coatings, the anti-fouling solution combines ultra-low friction and patented hydrogel technology, reducing fuel consumption and emissions for more than 1,000 vessels since its 2021 launch.

The collaboration with the digital maritime sustainability platform aims to foster the development and adoption of innovative solutions to promote a more sustainable future in the maritime industry.

By using modern mixing and dispersing technology, and centrally controlled peripheral devices with automated feeding and dosing of powder and liquid components, a Norwegian anti-fouling coatings manufacturer successfully tripled its production capacity at its new site, while keeping its staff levels the same.

AkzoNobel’s marine coatings brand announced Prysmian’s new vessel, Monna Lisa, will use the company's primer and anti-fouling solution. This choice is expected to cut carbon and VOC emissions.

Electrostatic application has increased transfer efficiency compared to airless spraying, resulting in reductions in overspray and waste, which, combined with low-VOC emissions, can provide a cleaner operation for applicators. 

A newly updated and automated production line is up and running at AkzoNobel’s Suzhou site in China, part of a €14 million investment designed to accelerate growth and double the plant’s capacity for marine and protective coatings by 2025.
