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.
Hiding power is one of paint’s most important attributes. If a paint doesn’t effectively hide the surface beneath it, its color won’t come through as intended and the finish won’t look good. On a more detailed level, the hiding power of pigments within the paint must be enough to cover the solution’s substrate.
This case history features Chicagoland's veteran-owned Rhino Shield elastomeric-ceramic coating business and highlights its newly updated formula that takes nanotechnology to the next level.
Research has shown that a thin cellulose film can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus within minutes, inhibit the growth of bacteria including E.coli, and mitigate contact transfer of pathogens. The coating is invisible to the naked eye, and is abrasion resistant under dry conditions, making it suitable for use on high-traffic objects such as door handles and handrails.
