Constructed over a period of more than three years, the 5,246-passenger Adora Magic City features the company’s Intersmooth^® fouling-control technology.

The new line of coatings is designed to protect ship and vessel hulls in the harshest underwater marine environments, and is specially formulated for effective fouling prevention. 

EPS and GIT have partnered to add propeller coatings across EPS' fleet. The extensive application will maximize vessel performance with GIT’s eco-friendly, highly durable, and ultra-low friction foul-release coating.

The company was recently bought by Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL), India’s only integrated manufacturer of polyols and a part of AM International, Singapore.

The utilization of hydrophilic coatings offers numerous advantages, including enhanced biocompatibility, lubricity, durability, corrosion resistance, and antifouling properties. This type of coating is used across diverse industries, including medical devices, automotive, aerospace, marine, optical, and consumer goods.

The production of effective, functional, and hygienic medical devices can be aided by the use and advancement of surface coatings that can alter physiochemical properties and functionality, among other features.

Nippon Paint Marine's unique biocide-free self-polishing coating was applied to the RIVIERA, a luxury cruise ship operated by Oceania Cruises.

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.

In addition to the full two-day conference program, delegates will also enjoy an optional visit to the research facilities of RISE, which is included in the conference ticket.

I-Tech’s technology, Selektope, and LANXESS’ technologies, SEA-NINE™ 211N and SEA-NINE ULTRA, belong to a set of active agents that are approved by regulatory bodies for ship repair and ship building markets. This joint R&D work undertaken by I-Tech and LANXESS represents the first time that these solutions have been used as co-biocides in marine anti-fouling coating formulations.
