TIN FREE 2000
1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A tin-free self-polishing anti-fouling paint.
2 RECOMMENDED USE
This anti-fouling protection is designed for underwater hulls, submerged hull sections, and seawater-exposed areas of marine platforms and buoys. It effectively prevents the attachment and growth of marine organisms such as barnacles, oysters, and algae, thereby reducing issues like increased vessel resistance, higher fuel consumption, and hull corrosion caused by biofouling. This ensures ships maintain optimal performance and condition during prolonged voyages and berthing.
3 FEATURES
- Controlled surface smoothness by a self-polishing effect.
- Free from organic tin compounds.
- Outstanding high-build applicability
4 COMPLIED STANDARDS
Complies with the GBT 6822-2024 standard “Coating Systems for Ship Hulls to Prevent Pollution and Rust”
