Ship industry to benefit from AkzoNobel’s revolutionary antifouling

Ship owners and operators can now benefit from improvements in operational, cost and environmental efficiencies thanks to the latest antifouling developed by AkzoNobel, which is set to revolutionise the biocidal coatings market.

Intercept 8500 LPP is the highest-performing biocidal antifouling in the company’s International range of marine coatings. It delivers consistent, predictable fouling control performance for in-service periods of up to 90 months, even on high risk fouling routes. It also comes with extended performance guarantees, proven in-service performance and a unique polymer combination incorporating AkzoNobel’s patented Lubyon technology with a silyl methacrylate self-polishing copolymer.

The exact operational, cost and environmental efficiencies delivered by Intercept 8500 LPP are dependent on the characteristics and trading patterns of each vessel.

Using Intertrac Vision, ship owners and operators can access an accurate picture of the product’s performance on their vessels over the full dry docking cycle, prior to application.
