Proven success International Paint first applied Intersleek® in 1989. With over 1,000 full vessels now coated, our customers have witnessed excellent fouling control performance, resulting in operational and environmental efficiencies on a wide range of vessel types. Proven fuel and emission reduction “We are now achieving up to a 9% reduction in fuel consumption under comparable conditions, reducing subsequent CO2 emissions by almost 11,000 tonnes, SOx by 100 tonnes and NOx by 200 tonnes.” Proven foul release performance “To date, performance results have been very positive. The vessel is...
