GLOBAL marine coatings supplier Jotun has unveiled the next generation of its popular SeaForce biocidal antifouling range, with three new products featuring breakthrough Hydractive technology.
Developed in-house, the new solution provides predictable, long-term performance for diverse vessel needs, the Norwegian company said.
Jotun originally launched its SeaForce range in 2004 and since then the solution has established a market leading position, with some 27,000 vessel applications worldwide.
However, according to Global marketing director, Jotun Marine Coatings, Dr Erik Risberg, pointed out that evolving customer needs have spurred Jotun to develop an innovative new solution to satisfy industry demands today, and far into the future.
'SeaForce is a cornerstone portfolio in our marine coating range. Shipping has changed over the past decade and a half, creating a different customer need, and we want to evolve with that demand to keep delivering optimal solutions. That has led to the idea for HydractiveTM technology.'
HydractiveTM technology is unique. It effectively slows down the water uptake of the antifouling, meaning that biocides are released in a more predictable pattern over the lifetime of the coating. This results in stable, high quality performance for the long-term, with SeaForce keeping customers' vessel hulls cleaner, for longer.
The range features three core products: SeaForce Shield, SeaForce Active and SeaForce Active Plus. SeaForce Active and SeaForce Active Plus also feature a triple biocide package, one of which is the same market leading biocide combination used in the top of the range SeaQuantum product portfolio.
'There is no 'standard' shipowner, so there is no one size fits all coating solution,' states Dr Risberg. 'At Jotun it's our commitment to provide our customers with a variety of solutions to meet their individual requirements, budgets and performance needs. The SeaForce range is living proof of that ambition.'
