Jotun Offers New Antifouling Concept

Jotun Paints, which continues to push the technical edge in terms of marine coatings development, is now simultaneously focused on changing shipowner's mindset in terms of the successful and cost effective use of antifouling coat- ings.

A five-year research program by

Jotun Paints has led the manufac- turer to deliver a unique, customer driven solution for cost-effectively

Jotun's research has reportedly shown that it is the for- mulation of the antifouling — rather than the Dry Film Thick- ness (DFT) — that provides the most cost-effective protection over the hull as a whole. Jotun's research program considered all vessel types and performance requirements.

Based on its results, Jotun has launched a "Menu Management" antifouling concept, a program designed to maximize the advan- tages of formulation-based choice for antifoulings, as against the

DFT system.

Simultaneously, the Jotun prod- uct range has been optimized — not only for the new concept — but also to meet anticipated future regulations on the use of tin-based formulations.

As a result, Jotun's Menu Man- agement was designed to allow optimum protection to be achieved with less paint, less application time and lower costs.

Menu Management provides an owner with a full choice of antifouling formulations, each designed to meet certain perfor- mance criteria.

A new range of Seamate prod- ucts retains its former versatility while allowing owners to specify systems which are more economi- cal and beneficial regarding envi- ronmental impact. Seamate

HB99, the manufacturer says, remains ideal for vessels with long stop-overs in port, and for laid-up ships, as its performance is designed for strongly polluted waters, or where the vessel speed is low.

New Seamate HB66 is a fast polishing product with optimized biocide package and improved polymer, reportedly well suited as a final coat in a multi-coatsystem.

New Seamate SB3 is a medium/fast-polishing formula- tion designed for side/bottom areas, where it will provide up to 60 months protection at 10 to 22 knots.

For flat bottoms, slow polishing

New Seamate FB30 is designed to combine optimum performance and cost effectiveness, giving 60 months of protection at 10 to 22 knots.
