Non-toxic coating with antifouling and drag reduction properties
Statut:
The aim of this project is to develop an innovative and efficient product that respects the marine environment and enables the reduction of the hydrodynamic drag. The strategy is based on multi-functional goals: reducing or eliminating organic solvents by the elaboration of aqueous phase paints, inhibiting incrustation and development of marine fouling, and by promoting stability of coating performances.This project was approved in April 2006
