High-performance marine antifouling coating specially designed for ship hull protection. Our eco-conscious formula resists marine organism growth, reduces drag, improves fuel efficiency, and extends dry-dock intervals. Ideal for commercial vessels, cargo ships, offshore platforms, and naval fleets.
Ship hull maintenance plays a critical role in ensuring optimal vessel performance, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact. Nanjing Haining Marine Fire Fighting & Safety Equipment Co., Ltd. is proud to offer a Premium Marine Antifouling Paint formulated to meet the highest international standards for marine coatings.
This marine coating is specifically engineered to protect hull surfaces from fouling organisms such as barnacles, algae, and other marine biofoulers. By preventing these organisms from adhering to the hull, this paint significantly reduces drag, leading to better fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Advanced Antifouling Technology
Incorporates copper-based biocides and controlled-release agents for long-lasting protection.
Eco-Friendly Composition
VOC-compliant and free from harmful organotin compounds, aligning with IMO environmental regulations.
Improved Operational Efficiency
Reduces frictional resistance and drag by up to 20%, improving vessel speed and fuel economy.
Extended Dry-Docking Cycles
Offers up to 60 months of effective antifouling performance, minimizing maintenance downtime.
Versatile Application
Suitable for various types of vessels including cargo ships, tankers, fishing boats, offshore rigs, and military ships.

To ensure maximum effectiveness, surface preparation and proper application are critical. The substrate must be clean, dry, and free from salt, oil, and other contaminants. Sandblasting or high-pressure water jetting is recommended for old coatings or corroded surfaces.
Application Steps:
Surface Preparation
Remove existing fouling and old paint residues.
Conduct surface profiling to Sa2.5 standard or equivalent.
Priming
Apply compatible marine primer (e.g., epoxy-based) as per system requirements.
Antifouling Paint Application
Mix thoroughly before use.
Apply 2–3 coats depending on desired service life and hull type.
Ensure proper drying intervals between coats.
Our marine antifouling paint complies with the following standards and regulations:
IMO Antifouling Systems Convention (AFS/CONF/26)
ISO 12944 Corrosion Protection Standards
REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006)
RoHS Compliance
We also offer third-party inspection certifications from DNV, CCS, ABS, LR, and more, upon request.
Fouling can increase hull roughness, resulting in up to a 30% increase in fuel consumption. By using our marine antifouling coating, ship owners can significantly lower operational costs and emissions.
