A biocide-free approach to controlling hull fouling targets vessel efficiency, emissions and material waste without relying on conventional antifoulants.
Biocidal antifouling coatings continue to dominate marine biofouling control as regulators, shipowners and coatings manufacturers reassess performance, risk and sustainability tradeoffs.
This article evaluates prevailing metal surface preparation technologies, analyzes industry-specific pretreatment selection criteria and reviews emerging innovations in this space.
The 30 MW offshore wind pilot project required coatings for exterior steel, splash-zone exposure, interior ballast-tank-like areas and transition pieces.
ISO released a new standard aimed at environmentally responsible ship hull cleaning, developed with input from marine coatings stakeholders including Jotun.
