The global shipping industry has been paying attention to the environmental protection of antifouling paints since the 1980s. The International Maritime Organization passed the "International Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships" in October 2001. , prohibiting ships of various countries from using tributyltin (TBT) antifouling paint which is highly toxic to marine life.
AFC series products bring environmental protection and pollution-free marine environment to customers.
AFC series hull anti-fouling paint has a layer of simulated water film with advanced material technology. The anti-fouling effect on organisms comes from the fact that organisms cannot adhere to the water film. Its smooth surface characteristics and strong adhesion can make the hull surface Continue to keep clean, because of GCB's environmentally friendly technology, organisms are not killed by the toxicity of the antifouling paint because they are close to or attached to the hull, but only fall off and cannot attach to the hull, unlike other self-polishing antifouling Paint dissolves and releases toxicity in water, causing marine pollution and destroying the ecological environment. AFC series hull antifouling paints hope to give us a pollution-free marine environment..
In Europe and the United States, the traditional hull antifouling paint market has been gradually eliminated.
Ship hull antifouling paint is a paint that is applied below the waterline of the ship and immersed in seawater for a long time. Its purpose is to keep the bottom surface of the boat smooth and clean from marine organisms (eg: barnacles, horse mussels..), thereby increasing the sailing speed and saving fuel consumption between trips.
The commonly used hull antifouling paint on the market is self-polishing bottom antifouling paint. The period of validity of the antifouling paint is generally 2 to 3 years. Instead, the poisonous substances released continue to kill tiny organisms along the ship's navigation route, which also causes problems in the supply and demand of the entire food chain, thereby causing damage to the marine biological environment, 12 especially the offshore marine environment has the greatest impact. During the regular maintenance of the ship, only the residual anti-fouling paint and a small amount of marine organisms need to be washed with high pressure water column. Although the steel plate will not be rusted, it will cause great pollution to the marine environment and enter our food chain, thus affecting our Life.
Highest specification non-toxic testing, providing customer assurance. AFC series hull antifouling paint is a non-hydrolyzable protective paint, which will not dissolve in the sea with time and seawater erosion, causing irreversible damage to the environment.
AFC series hull anti-fouling paint has passed the EU's REACH safety verification, SGS's nine heavy metal-free verification and IMO (International Maritime Organization) environmental protection certification from an international third-party impartial organization, ensuring that our hull anti-fouling paint is in the protection of ships. It will never release toxic substances like traditional antifouling paints, and protect the safety of the marine environment.
