AkzoNobel’s marine coatings brand announced Prysmian’s new vessel, Monna Lisa, will use the company's primer and anti-fouling solution. This choice is expected to cut carbon and VOC emissions.

Electrostatic application has increased transfer efficiency compared to airless spraying, resulting in reductions in overspray and waste, which, combined with low-VOC emissions, can provide a cleaner operation for applicators. 

A newly updated and automated production line is up and running at AkzoNobel’s Suzhou site in China, part of a €14 million investment designed to accelerate growth and double the plant’s capacity for marine and protective coatings by 2025.

Navigating the paint and coatings industry as a senior female leader comes with unique challenges and experiences. PPG's Senior Vice President, Protective and Marine Coatings, discusses guiding principles from her career, and the future of protective and marine coatings.

The company's cutting-edge silicone-based hull coating solution's decarbonization efforts in the maritime industry are now third-party verified, and its impact on fuel savings and speed loss have been validated. 

Using coatings and composites can revolutionize the maritime industry by simultaneously reducing capital expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. In a case study to reduce propellor cavitation, a super metal coating was used to build up the worst affected areas, and then a super metal glide coating was brush applied to provide overall protection.

Using this predictive tool can raise the certainty on vessel performance and provide greater confidence on economic and sustainable value achieved through the operational cycle, which is a key challenge for the industry while regulations are driving higher efficiency.

According to Persistence Market Research's projections, the global marine coatings market is expected to surge ahead at a CAGR of 8.2% through 2033.This article delves into the significance of marine coatings, their composition, application methods, and the latest advancements aimed at enhancing protection and performance in the maritime industry.

The coating is designed to meet the highest performance and aesthetic demands of today’s commercial construction industry. Ideal for on-site applications, this solvent-based coating protects structural steel substrates.
