With 30 years of silicone expertise, Intersleek 2120 delivers performance, value and future-readiness for more vessel operators.
International®, has announced the launch of Intersleek® 2120, a new silicone foul-release coating designed for the operational and regulatory realities of today’s modern fleet.
Unveiled at Posidonia in Athens, Intersleek 2120 expands access to proven silicone technology from International® for vessel operators, delivering reliable, predictable performance aligned with day-to-day operating conditions.
Built on 30 years of silicone expertise
Built on three decades of silicone expertise and real-world operational insight, Intersleek 2120 is engineered to support lower total cost across the docking cycle through reduced application and maintenance.
Designed for vessel operators transitioning from biocidal self-polishing copolymer (SPC) systems, Intersleek 2120 supports improved hull performance in response to increasing regulatory and efficiency pressures. Delivering speed-loss performance of up to 1.4%, it is particularly well suited to vessels such as bulkers and tankers, as well as a wider range of vessel types and operating profiles.
Supporting lower drydock and maintenance costs
Compared to established industry silicone systems, Intersleek 2120 requires fewer coats within the overall scheme, reducing application time and associated drydock costs1. By aligning performance more closely with real operating conditions, the coating helps operators avoid unnecessary scheme complexity while maintaining the core benefits of silicone foul-release technology
“For 30 years, Intersleek has defined what silicone foul release technology can achieve for the maritime industry. With Intersleek 2120, we are extending that trusted platform to a broader range of operators with a solution that is designed around their operating profile, performance and value expectations.”
