Reducing hull roughness for vessel efficiency.

A smoother hull helps red and greenhouse gas emis The economic importance of underwater hull condition cannot be understated, any increase in hull roughness can result in a significant rise in vessel operating costs. Fouling control coatings help to maintain smooth, clean hulls by preventing fouling on the underwater hull and minimising hull roughness, achieving energy efficiency and reducing operational, commercial and environmental costs. Intersleek® foul release technology, works by providing a very smooth, slippery, low friction surface onto which fouling organisms have difficulty attaching. Any...

Application of Intersleek®7180 Linkcoat followed by the full Intersleek® scheme can significantly reduce the surface roughness of an existing antifouling by over 70%*, resulting in a smoother hull. Economically, Intersleek®7180 Linkcoat provides a logical choice for ship operators looking to reduce costs. Compared to a full blast and full scheme application, savings are estimated at over USD 450,000**, through shorter times in drydock, reduced surface preparation and application costs. With proven in service performance, all backed up by a wealth of technical service knowledge in Linkcoat application, Intersleek®...

Intersleek® Linkcoat application Dual Cure Technology Intersleek®7180 uses a specialised dual-cure technology (DCT) - a combination of: • Epoxy-amine cure to give excellent drying and barrier properties • Secondary cure using flexible polymer chemistry which enhances adhesion to a range of different antifouling surfaces The special properties created by DCT start working immediately Upon mixing During application When components are mixed together, both reactions start immediately creating distinct phases. When applied over an existing biocidal antifouling, the phases migrate to the surface and...
