Biocidal antifouling coatings continue to dominate marine biofouling control as regulators, shipowners and coatings manufacturers reassess performance, risk and sustainability tradeoffs.
The 30 MW offshore wind pilot project required coatings for exterior steel, splash-zone exposure, interior ballast-tank-like areas and transition pieces.
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a rising concern for the energy sector. A new standard test method may help reduce risk and protect steel integrity.
With the launch of the industry’s first and only CX-rated anti-corrosive powder coating solution, industries now have access to proven technologies to protect critical equipment operating in the most challenging environments.
It all begins and ends with a clean hull. Bio-fouling management is a key to a cleaner shipping industry, however, bio-fouling increases fuel use and slows ships. High-quality anti-fouling coatings, as well as proactive monitoring and cleaning, can address decarbonization, protect bio-diversity, and save fuel.
