The attachment of marine organisms to the bottom of ships navigating in seawater will increase the ship's mass and resistance to navigation, which will reduce the speed of navigation, and accordingly increase the consumption of fuel, as well as increase the wear and tear of mechanical equipment parts. Marine fouling of the attachment of marine organisms will lead to the destruction of the protective film on the metal surface, so that the metal is directly exposed to seawater, and will change the electrochemical balance of the metal surface, so that the metal corrosion is accelerated, thus increasing the number of maintenance of the ship. Currently, the most effective and common measure to prevent seabed adhesion on marine vessels is the application of anti-fouling coatings.
At present, the commercial mature market of anti-fouling coatings for ships is almost Danish sea rainbow old man (Hempel), Norway Jotun (Jotun), the Netherlands Akzo Nobel Group (Akzo Nobel), the United States PPG, Japan in the coating of chemical (Chugoku), Lippon Group (Nippon) occupies a very high market share, anti-fouling coatings, raw materials, needless to say, almost all of the imported brand suppliers, very few domestic companies. Not to mention the raw materials for anti-fouling coatings, almost all of them are imported brand suppliers, and few domestic companies have made technological breakthroughs. At present, overall, there is still a big gap between China in the field of anti-fouling ship and foreign technology, and there is a huge space for future development as well as a better potential for development of the commercial value.
kabasph biotech is a microbial control one-stop solution service provider. kabasph biotech is focusing on the field of ship antifouling, especially in the ship environmentally friendly antifouling agents such as Copper Pyrithione (CPT), Copper Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT), and Brominated Pyrrolo-nitrile (Tralopyril) have completed the replacement of foreign brands, at present, kabasph biotech has been working with many Chinese companies to develop the antifouling technology in the field of ship antifouling. The zinc acrylate self-polishing resin, silicon acrylate self-polishing resin and antifouling additives developed by kabasph biotech in cooperation with our customers can meet the requirements of various types of ships, sailing seas, seawater temperatures, microorganisms, and sailing speeds.
