Marine Coatings

Marine painting is a very complex operation. You need to be able to choose the right paint to cover your boat’s topsides, bottom and deck. In most cases, it is beneficial to seek a professional when you decide to paint your boat The type of paint you choose for marine painting depends on many factors. You will have to consider the water conditions your boat is used in and the paint that has already been applied to the boat. For example, a speedboat used in cold, freshwater requires a different type of paint than a fishing boat used in warm, saltwater.
Professional marine painting companies will know exactly what type of paint each boat requires. Marine biofouling profoundly influences marine industries and activities. It slows the speed and increases the fuel consumption of ships, corrodes offshore platforms, and blocks seawater pipelines. The most effective and economical antifouling approach uses coatings. Fouling-release coatings (FRCs) with low surface free energy and high elasticity weakly adhere to marine organisms, so they can be readily removed by the water shear force. FRCs have attracted increasing interest because they are biocide-free and hence ecofriendly.
