Hempel launches new antifouling product for coating ships' hulls
MARINE coatings manufacturer Hempel has unveiled two new antifouling products for dry-dockings and newbuildings which promise to deliver fuel savings of up to three per cent and provide added flexibility to shipowners and yards.
GLOBIC 8000 is a brand new hydrolysing self-polishing antifouling product that fits neatly between the existing GLOBIC 6000 and GLOBIC 9000 antifouling systems that the company already offers.
"It incorporates Hempel's nano acrylate technology which delivers a fine polishing control mechanism to bring the integral biocides to the surface at a stable rate ensuring a clean hull," a company statement said
GLOBIC 8000 can be used on all vessels at all speeds but its nano acrylate technology binder makes it particularly effective for slow-steaming operations because of its instant activation of polishing and biocide leaching.
Announcing the launch, group product manager, Andreas Glud, said: "These two new products offer a wider choice for owners and yards and deliver exceptional value-for-money. They comprise 58 per cent volume solids and can be specified up to 90 months dry docking interval.
"This, together with a three per cent fuel saving, means that these antifouling systems offer an unparalleled return on investment.?
