Maritime use
Underwatercoatingsystem
Liquid rubber for marine use consists of a hard, glass flake reinforced coating that requires no primer or topcoat.
- This does not break off but actually becomes smoother with regular underwater cleaning.
- Lasts up to 25 years without recoating, with a 10-year warranty (extendable).
- Completely environmentally friendly: no toxic substances or heavy metals.
Applications
1. Ice class ships / icebreakers
- Certified as ice-resistant.
- Maintains integrity even after years in icy waters.
- Prevents cavitation and corrosion damage to bow, rudders and tunnels.
2. Cruise ships & ferries
- Fuel savings of up to 25% thanks to permanently smooth hull.
- Visually appealing (easy to clean waterline).
- Less dry dock time = less loss of sailing time.
- Environmentally friendly = better reputation.
3. Offshore vessels & installations
- Ideal for long-term storage (10-40 years) at sea.
- No penetration by fouling.
- Fully cleanable without damage to the coating.
- Approved according to NORSOK M-501 offshore standard.
4. Other vessels
- From yachts to bulk carriers and naval vessels.
- Perfect for those sailing in sensitive sea areas.
- Interesting for those who want to minimize dry docking.
Financial Benefits
- No recoating required → drastic savings on dry dock and material costs.
- Reduced fuel consumption due to permanently smooth surface.
- Lower total cost of ownership than traditional antifouling or foul-release systems.
Environmentally conscious choice
- No copper, zinc, tin or biocides.
- No harmful VOCs.
- No negative impact on marine life.
- Prevents the spread of invasive species.
