Offering the choice of silyl acrylate and copper acrylate technology

New silyl acrylate technology extends our high performance antifouling range

Our new Intersmooth®7465Si SPC and Interswift®6900Si silyl acrylate products, complement our market leading antifoulings range and improve customer choice.

Patented since 2006 for <400g/l VOC, means that they have some of the lowest silyl acrylate solvent emission levels in the industry.

"We recognise that our customers have different requirements and operational preferences, which is why we offer a broad choice of fouling control products and technologies in our high performance range".

Predictable performance

Intersmooth®7465Si SPC

Intersmooth®7465Si SPC, based on patented silyl acrylate polymer technology, delivers high performance fouling control for up to 90* months and can reduce fuel consumption by 4%**, cutting operational costs, lowering carbon dioxide emissions and improving vessel operating image.

For shipyards, with 55% volume solids, Intersmooth®7465Si SPC provides benefits including faster application, reduced wastage and pail consumption and lower solvent emissions.

Interswift®6900Si

Interswift®6900Si, also incorporating patented silyl acrylate polymer technology, is surface tolerant and offers in-service periods of up to 60 months with potential fuel savings of 1.5%**.

Performance in service

Only International offers the choice of silyl acrylate and copper acrylate technology

Whether you choose copper acrylate or silyl acrylate technology, we can offer you the same high performance in leach layer control, consistent polishing, fouling control and fuel and emission savings.

New! White paper: "Ship performance"

New benchmark to prove coatings performance

Strong academic research and firm ship operating evidence of the correlation between applying specific fouling control coatings and reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions finds further backing, after a new industry partnership is formed that is likely to silence the doubters once and for all.

Our biocidal antifouling product range continuously evolves to meet our customer’s performance expectations in today’s operating environment, delivering fouling control for up to 90* months.

*90 months applies to vessels covered by the extended drydocking (EDD) programme.

**Potential annual fuel savings when comparing the performance of Self Polishing Copolymer antifoulings with CDP or rosin based antifoulings over a 60 month in service period. Based on over 5,000 vessel drydockings and inspections for fouling rating combined with average hull roughness measurements from over 50 vessel outdockings.
