Why Fouling Control Matters

Marine growth like barnacles and algae can create hull drag, increase fuel costs, and lead to higher emissions, affecting both performance and sustainability. Fouling control coatings help prevent marine buildup, keeping hulls, clean, efficient, and compliant with environmental regulations.

Fouling Control Coatings: Long-Lasting Protection for Every Vessel

Fouling control coatings work by slowly releasing biocides, preventing marine growth and maintaining a clean, fuel-efficient hull. Choosing the right coating can lead to longer service intervals, reduced maintenance costs, and better vessel performance.

Which coating is right for your vessel?
 

• Intercept® 8500 LPP – Advanced low-polishing fouling control for extended docking cycles and maximum fuel savings.
• Intersmooth® 7476Si SPC – Uses advanced silyl methacrylate technology to reduce speed loss and improve long-term efficiency.
• Interswift® 6900 – Ideal for shorter docking intervals, delivering cost-effective protection.
• Interspeed® 6400 – Hard fouling control solution ideal for high-speed vessels and workboats in aggressive conditions.

Biocide-Free Foul Release Coatings for Sustainable Shipping

For shipowners looking to eliminate biocides while maintaining efficiency, foul release coatings offer a sustainable, high-performance solution. These coatings provide an ultra-smooth, low-friction surface, minimizing drag and naturally repelling marine growth, helping vessels reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact.

• Intersleek® 1100SR – Market-leading silicone technology, delivering up to 9% fuel savings and superior self-cleaning properties.
• Intersleek® 1000 – A fluoropolymer-based solution that reduces drag and enhances vessel efficiency.
