Teflon for ships: Jotun offers resilient anti-fouling hull coating
JOTUN says it is launching a new product, a high performance marine coating based on epoxy-polysiloxane technology, called SeaLion Resilient.
Following extensive research and testing, it says it is introducing the industry's first anti-fouling coating that includes epoxy-polysiloxane, a compound of resins and hardeners that provides highly resilient hull protection.
When combined with its fouling release coatings (FRC) technology, the epoxy-polysiloxane prevents settling of organisms on the hull and produces a glossy, smooth surface.
A company statement said its new anti-fouling marine paint will significantly reduce the risk of mechanical damage and maintain hull condition throughout the service period.
Requiring only two coats, it is easy to apply and cuts time spent in dock, resulting in significant savings related to maintenance and repair. It is a biocide-free coating and has low VOC emissions.
