Antifouling paint is a type of paint that is specifically designed to prevent the growth of organisms, such as algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms, on the surface of boats, ships, and other underwater structures. These organisms can attach themselves to the surface, causing damage, reducing efficiency, and increasing fuel consumption.

Generally, the drying time and curing time of antifouling boat paint determine the time when the ship is put into the water. For most antifouling paints, it takes at least 24 hours for the ship to be put into the water after painting, but this time is not absolute.

Although some antifouling boat paints may have certain anti-corrosion functions and strong adhesion, in order to ensure the long-term stability and protection of the coating, primer is still recommended in most cases.

During the voyage, ships will encounter erosion from waves, collisions, sand and other external factors. If the coating of the antifouling boat paint is damaged, the metal materials exposed on the surface of the hull may be corroded by seawater, causing metal corrosion, rust and other problems.

The service life of antifouling boat paint depends on many factors, including the type of antifouling paint, the quality of construction, the sailing environment and frequency of the ship, etc. Generally speaking, the service life of antifouling paint is between 2 and 5 years.
