The importance of antifouling ship bottom paint: improve navigation efficiency (the presence of bottom attachments can cause the fuel efficiency of ships to drop by up to 30%), protect the hull structure, and reduce maintenance costs.

The purpose of painting the bottom of the ship with anticorrosive primer paint is to protect the metal surface of the hull from seawater, electrochemical corrosion and microbial attachment. Seawater contains a large amount of salt and microorganisms, which are extremely corrosive to metal surfaces.

For ships that are docked in freshwater for a long time, antifouling paint needs to be applied to reduce biological attachment. Aluminum and steel hulls are susceptible to corrosion from electrolytes in freshwater. Applying marine bottom paint can provide an additional layer of protection etc..

Therefore, using $50 per liter of boat bottom paint, paint a 50 square meter medium-sized yacht, apply two coats. It is expected to cost $2516.67, (including: paint cost $416.67, construction cost $1600, cleaning, sanding and inspection cost $500).

​Boat bottom paint, also known as antifouling paint, is a coating specially applied to the bottom of a boat. Its main purpose is to protect the bottom of the boat from the attachment and erosion of marine organisms, while improving the navigation performance and fuel efficiency of the boat.
