Consequences of no antifouling Setting the Scene

Financial consequences :

ƒ 1.5 billion USD are the total costs of measures to

prevent fouling annually 1

…a classical example ƒ 70 million tons of fuel may be saved with efficient

fouling control 2

SILICONE-BASED FOULING RELEASE

Two fouling control alternatives:

• The most desirable approach in fouling control from
an environmental perspective, is one not releasing
ƒAntifoulings with active ingredients biocides into the marine environment.

• Fouling release coatings based on silicone is currently

ƒFouling Release Coatings - biocide free the only feasible option fulfilling such a criteria
