The impact of harmful substances in marine antifouling paint on the marine ecosystem is one of the main reasons for prohibiting its use. The marine ecosystem is complex and sensitive, and harmful substances in marine antifouling paint may destroy the balance of this system.

The answer is yes! Under the premise of meeting the appropriate construction process, material selection and function enhancement (especially anti-slip treatment), marine paint is fully capable of long-term protection of decks.

For some special ships, such as merchant ships or fishing boats, which have long sailing time and are usually in a harsh environment, these ships may require thicker antifouling paint coatings, and the coating thickness is generally between 250 and 300 microns.

Due to the anti-biological adhesion function of antifouling marine coatings, the frequency of cleaning the bottom of the ship is effectively controlled. On ships using antifouling marine coatings, the bottom of the ship hardly needs to be frequently cleaned and seaweed, shellfish and other organisms are removed.

Marine anti corrosion paint is a paint specially designed to prevent corrosion in the marine environment. Its ingredients include various chemicals such as resins, pigments, solvents, fillers and additives. Each ingredient has different functions and characteristics.

Acrylic paint is a common water-based paint, the main component of which is acrylic resin. It has excellent adhesion, transparency and UV resistance. Due to its low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and environmental protection, acrylic paint is widely used for painting inside and outside ships.

Cannot! Automotive paint does not have the function of marine preventing bioattachment, while an important function of marine paint, especially bottom paint, is to prevent aquatic organisms such as shellfish and algae from attaching to the surface of the hull.

The unpolished deck surface may have oil, dust or other impurities, which will become obstacles to the adhesion of the paint. Even if high-quality paint is used, if the marine anti rust paint cannot be firmly attached to the deck surface, it is easy to fall off or bubble.

Copper ions, as the main antifouling component in marine antifouling primer, can effectively inhibit the attachment of marine organisms, but after being released into the water body, they are easily combined with organic matter and sediments, thus existing in the environment for a long time.

Epoxy resin coating is mainly divided into three stages: surface drying, hardening and complete drying: 1. Tack-free usually takes 2-4 hours. 2. Cured Dry generally requires 24-48 hours of curing time. 3. Fully Cured usually takes 7 days or more.
