In a marine industry where performance, longevity, and sustainability co-exist, there is one breakthrough that rises to the surface: Hard Film Silane-Siloxane coatings. This pioneering technology is revolutionizing vessel performance in the commercial shipping, military, cruise, and pleasure craft industries. 

Our sustainable antifouling solution for seawater applications pumps up fuel efficiency and ditches toxic antifouling paints while leaving you with durable hull protection. This is no longer a vision; it’s a reality, pioneered by us to develop hard film silicone (Polysiloxane) Foul Release Coatings (FRCs) tailored specifically for the maritime sector.

The Shipping Industry’s Paint Problem Amidst Performance and Environment

Biofouling is a chronic problem. Marine growth adds drag, reduces speed, and inflates fuel consumption and emissions. They use toxic biocides, destructive to marine habitats, in conventional antifouling coatings, and trade away durability and operational efficiency in traditional soft silicone foul-release coatings.

There’s never been a stronger need for a coating that provides both industry-leading foul release and strong protection, without environmental tradeoffs. Hard film Silane-Siloxane coatings answer this call with proven performance and sustainability.

Hard Film Silane-Siloxane: The future

Featuring the advanced chemistry of silane and siloxane, these coatings create an ultra-durable, hydrophobic film that proactively inhibits fouling adhesion. This tough film polysiloxane foul-release coating provides:

  • A non-toxic, environmentally responsible alternative to traditional antifouling solutions.
  • Simplified, single-component silicone-epoxy formulation.
  • Outstanding abrasion, saltwater, and rugged resistance.
  • Game-changing fuel savings through persistent reduction of hull roughness, directly reducing operating costs and carbon emissions.

Demonstrated Value across Maritime Industries

From container ships to cruise liners, the versatility and effectiveness of hard film Silane-Siloxane coatings are reshaping standards across every segment of the maritime world.

  • Commercial shipping

For merchant marine, each saved percent of fuel saves a ton of money. Hard film Silane-Siloxane coatings keep your hull’s surface in an optimally smooth condition for longer, maximizing fuel economy and meeting stringent environmental regulations.

  • Armed Fleets

Military applications require coatings that can survive the most extreme environments without compromising vessel availability. The durability and foul-release capabilities of hard film Silane-Siloxane coatings satisfy these tough requirements, assisting fleet sustainability goals.

  • Cruise Industry and Pleasure Crafts

Cruise liners and leisure boats need performance coatings that shine. This technology resists fouling accumulation and staining, which means less maintenance and vessels looking fresh and clean, for more time on the water.

Sustainability at the core, minimizing environmental footprint

Sustainability fuels innovation in marine coatings nowadays. Hard film Silane-Siloxane coatings substitute environmentally harmful antifouling paints with a more secure option that:

  • Avoids leaching biocides into marine ecosystems.
  • Offers extended service life, lessening dry dock intervals.
  • Supports worldwide initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases by reducing fuel consumption.
  • Builds bottom-line profitability without sacrificing green values.

Redefining the standard

It’s a first-of-its-kind technology in the marine coatings market.

  • The first and only hard film silicone (Polysiloxane) foul-release coating engineered for maritime use.
  • The only formulator of one-part silicone-epoxy foul-release systems.
  • Designed specifically to outperform legacy and soft silicone coatings in both durability and environmental performance.

These innovations are revolutionizing vessel hull protection, providing a fresh benchmark in marine sustainability and operational brilliance.

Fleet Protection Reimagined with Hard Film Silane-Siloxane

With increasing regulatory pressure and escalating operational costs, vessel operators require coating solutions that provide best-in-class performance and sustainability. Our sustainable antifouling solution for seawater applications gives this competitive edge by significantly increasing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and decreasing maintenance intervals, all while safeguarding oceans.

This provides a sustainable way forward. For commercial, military, cruise, and pleasure vessels alike, going hard film with our Silane-Siloxane foul-release technology isn’t just an upgrade, but it’s the future of marine hull protection.
