Development of Anti-fouling Coating Using in Marine Environment

Chen Liu. Development of Anti-fouling Coating Using in Marine Environment. International Journal of Environmental Monitoring

The marine organism attaching to the ship hull would slow down the ship and increasing fuel consumption. In order to prevent the problem, anti-fouling paints are used to...

MARINE BIOFOULING TESTING:TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON METHODS,SITE SELECTION AND DYNAMIC TESTS

There is need to optimize testing protocols for marine coatings and develop improved accelerated test systems that best simulate the erosion process on marine paints as ships travel. The selection of a mari...

Innovative paint solution to help protect ships from marine biofouling

By Dr. Ev Damigo PhD

European researchers have pioneered an ecologically friendly and sustainable antifouling paint solution that is based neither on biocide emission nor low adhesion.

The EU-funded Low Emission Antifouling (LEAF) project has developed an environmentally- friendly and fully sustainable prototype paint t...

Paints and coatings containing bactericidal agent nanoparticles combat marine fouling

By Dr. Ev Damigo PhD

Scientists have discovered that tiny vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles can inhibit the growth of barnacles, bacteria, and algae on surfaces in contact with water, such as ship hulls, sea buoys, or offshore platforms. Their experiments showed that steel plates to which a coating containing dispersed v...

Ships may soon be able to shed bacteria and marine growth

By Dr. Ev Damigo PhD

Duke University engineers have developed a material that can be applied like paint to the hull of a ship and will literally be able to dislodge bacteria, keeping it from accumulating on the ship's surface. This buildup on ships increases drag and reduces the energy efficiency of the vessel, as...

Marine paints: The particular case of antifouling paints

By Dr. Ev Damigo PhD

Elisabete Almeida^,Teresa C. Diamantino^,Orlando de Sousa

Abstract

The authors present a general overview of marine paints, paying particular attention to the case of antifouling paints. After locating these paints in the anticorrosive protection systems used on the underwater parts of ships and/or oth...
