Innovation

As the world leader in marine coatings, International Paint has a long

and successful history of innovation in antifouling and foul release

technology and we remain fully committed to research programmes

designed to meet the product performance and regulatory

requirements of todays vessel operator. As a result of pioneering the

concept of Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) antifoulings in the early

1970’s, our overall contribution to the fuel efficiency of the global fleet

has been significant. Innovations include:

• Intersmooth SPC - the first SPC antifoulings.

• Intersleek - the first “non stick”, foul release systems.

• Interswift - the first hybrid SPC systems.

Foul Release Technologies: Positioning

The Environment

In the 1980’s a number of countries restricted the use of TBT

containing antifoulings on smaller vessels following increased

environmental concern over the effects of TBT on non target marine

organisms, particularly in areas of low water exchange such as

coastal estuaries and marinas. Throughout the 1990’s the

International Maritime Organisations’ (IMO) Marine Environmental

Protection Committee (MEPC) discussed further legislation against

the use of TBT based antifoulings resulting in a TBT application ban

from 1st January 2003 with a complete prohibition of TBT on ships’

hulls on 1st January 2008.

Against this background of regulatory activity, International Paint has

continued to invest heavily in developing effective TBT free and

foul release coating technologies.

service period, typically giving a maximum 36 months lifetime.

- Leached layers can be large.

- Surface tolerant.

- High volume solids (Low VOC•).

Intersleek

Foul Release Coating Systems

Intersleek is a revolutionary coatings technology which controls

fouling without the use of biocides and therefore provides freedom

from biocide legislation.

Intersleek’s ultra smooth, slippery and “non stick” surface allows

control of fuel efficiency, speed and maintenance costs since fouling

organisms are typically unable to attach, or have difficulty settling

onto the surface. Those organisms which do attach, normally only

adhere weakly and can usually be easily removed either by self

cleaning in service, careful underwater cleaning or by simple low

pressure water washing in the drydock.

Intersleek is also chemically durable. There is no film degradation,

polishing or other chemical change, so extended (up to 60 months

)

drydocking intervals are possible.

The smoothness of the Intersleek System compared to that of a

typical (biocide containing) Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) antifouling

is shown below.

Self Polishing Copolymer Antifouling

Intersmooth SPC

TBT Free Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) Systems

Intersmooth SPC coatings are proven, patented, TBT free copper

acrylate antifoulings offering excellent fouling control for extended (up

to 60 months ) in service periods.

The self polishing copolymer characteristics of Intersmooth SPC

technology result from a controlled hydrolysis mechanism which

mirrors TBT SPC antifouling action. The release of biocides is

sustained throughout the coating’s lifetime by chemical control of the

leached layer size and composition.

On immersion, Intersmooth SPC antifoulings react with the ions in

seawater to produce a thin soluble layer on the surface of the

coating. This layer polishes at a predetermined rate, consistently

exposing fresh antifouling and maintaining a continuous, controlled

release of biocides.

Intersmooth SPC technology has a proven track record on over

1500 vessels worldwide. As confirmed at drydock outturns,

equivalent performance levels are achieved in service for vessels

coated with Intersmooth SPC antifoulings as for those vessels

coated with premium grade TBT SPC products.

The International ‘Dataplan’ performance monitoring system records the application and performance of coating systems on over 30,000 vessels currently in service. At each drydocking, vesseldetails, including drydocking interval and coating performance, are recorded. Antifouling coatings are assessed for the presence of fouling, (type, severity and extent) and from this unique database, an antifouling performance rating can be calculated.

Controlled Depletion Polymer (CDP) Systems

TBT free, Controlled Depletion Polymer antifoulings rely on a

physical dissolution of the paint film to provide the self polishing

action. These antifoulings are often referred to as ‘ablative’ or

‘eroding’ and rely on the presence of rosin in the coating to

provide the physical dissolution at the surface. For additional

film toughness and durability, reinforcing resins are also used.

Interswift

Hybrid SPC/CDP Systems

This new, patented TBT free antifouling type is a blend of

copper acrylate SPC technology with the rosin based self

polishing CDP technology. By carefully combining these two

technologies to form a hybrid, it is possible to produce an

antifouling which has the CDP benefits of surface tolerance,

high volume solids and an attractive cost base, together

with the patented copper acrylate SPC attributes of

polishing rate control, reduced leached layer size and

control of biocide release.

Antifouling productand technology guideWith many different TBT free products and technologies available, it

is perhaps not surprising that a degree of confusion may exist as to

how they work, what are the differences between them and which

ones are the best. In the following pages we outline the four key

technology types, explain how they work and provide a reminder of

the importance of hull roughness on ship performance.

1) Biocidal Antifoulings

a) SPC:

Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) antifoulings release biocides via a

hydrolysis reaction of an acrylic polymer with seawater. This is a

chemical reaction and only occurs at the surface of the coating.

SPC technology combines controlled polishing rate and optimum

biocide release with inherent self smoothing for hull roughness

control and maximum fuel efficiency. Pioneered by International

Paint in the early 1970s, the overall contribution of SPC technology

to the fuel efficiency of the global fleet has been significant.

Intersmooth SPC

Based on patented, copper acrylate technology (metal acrylate),

Intersmooth SPC antifoulings have been specifically designed to

meet the performance and environmental demands of deep sea and

coastal vessel operators. Intersmooth SPC products (available in

newbuilding and maintenance grades) provide an equivalent

performance level to that achieved by premium TBT SPC products.

Q1 Are all metal acrylate TBT free SPC antifoulings the same?

A1 No. There are two types of metal acrylate antifoulings. The first

type are the copper acrylate (Intersmooth SPC) systems. The

second type are the zinc acrylate systems.

Although the biocides used in these two antifouling systems are

essentially the same with the predominant biocide in both systems


being copper oxide, copper complexes are more ‘tightly bound’ and

stable in seawater than zinc complexes. In the presence of the

copper oxide biocide, zinc acrylate systems (in our experience) may

undergo chemical exchange reactions with the copper oxide biocide.

Copper acrylate systems do not undergo this exchange. The

stability, longevity and performance of the copper acrylate

(Intersmooth SPC) systems can therefore be expected to be greater

than that of typical zinc acrylate deep sea systems.

Copper acrylate antifoulings have now been well proven over more

than 12 years with many examples of vessels being free of all

macrofouling for five year in service periods.

Q2 How do silyl acrylate TBT free SPC antifoulings perform

compared to copper acrylate TBT free SPC antifoulings?

A2 The two most important factors which determine the

effectiveness of any biocidal antifouling are: The type and quantity of biocide(s) in the formulation. The delivery mechanism used to control the release

of the biocides.

In both silyl acrylate and copper acrylate (Intersmooth SPC)

antifoulings, the biocides are similar, consisting of a high loading of

copper oxide with a boosting biocide (or biocides). The most

commonly used boosting biocides are the pyrithiones (copper or

zinc), both used at a relatively low level. The main difference between

the pyrithiones is that copper pyrithione is less soluble in seawater

and has been shown to be less effective than zinc pyrithione in

cooler (<15°C) waters. Silyl acrylate systems which use copper

pyrithione as a boosting biocide are therefore generally not as

effective in cold waters as the copper acrylate (Intersmooth SPC)

systems which use zinc pyrithione.

The delivery mechanisms of the two technologies depend entirely on

the reaction of the two polymer systems in seawater. Both systems

are based on an acrylic polymer with pendant carboxyl groups to

which either a silyl compound or a copper compound are chemically

bonded. This bond breaks (hydrolyses) in seawater, rendering the

resultant carboxyl polymer soluble, which then provides the self

polishing action. The rate of hydrolysis depends on seawater

conditions with salinity and temperature being the two most

important factors. If the hydrolysis rate is too fast then the paint

polishes away too quickly; if the hydrolysis rate is too slow, then not

enough biocides are released to prevent fouling.

Many silyl acrylate systems contain rosin in order to help control

hydrolysis rate and therefore, rather than being true SPC types,

they are more comparable to the hybrid types, such as

Interswift 655: see below.

Copper acrylate antifoulings have now been well proven over more

than 12 years with many examples of vessels being free of all

macrofouling for five year in service periods.

b) Hybrid SPC: Interswift 655

Interswift 655 is a new, patented hybrid TBT free self polishing

antifouling incorporating copper acrylate technology. Designed to

complement our existing range of TBT free antifouling products, the

parents of Interswift 655 are the premium TBT free self polishing

copolymer Intersmooth SPC and the controlled depletion polymer

Interspeed 340, both of which are well proven technologies with

extensive track records.

Creating this new hybrid has been possible by carefully combining the

patented copper acrylate SPC technology of Intersmooth SPC with

the rosin based controlled depletion polymer technology of

Interspeed 340. This results in an effective antifouling which has the

features of CDP surface tolerance and attractive volume solids

content, together with the SPC attributes of polishing rate control,

control of biocide release and reduced leached layer size.

c) CDP: Interspeed 340

TBT free, controlled depletion polymer antifoulings rely on a physical

dissolution of the paint film to provide the polishing action. CDP

antifoulings are also referred to as ablative or eroding and rely on the

presence of rosin in the coating to provide the physical dissolution at

the surface. For additional film toughness and durability, reinforcing

resins are also used.

2) Foul Release Technology: Intersleek 700.

Intersleek 700 is a unique, non stick, foul release coating system

designed for high activity, deep sea scheduled ships (>15-30 knots).

The technology provides an ultra smooth, slippery, easy clean surface

with the potential for reductions in average hull roughness through

careful application. Intersleek 700 does not use biocides to control

fouling and is chemically durable with excellent colour retention.

Environmental compliance is assured with freedom from all current

and future biocide restrictions.

Control of treatment and waste disposal costs for wash

water/blasting abrasive at subsequent drydockings are additional

benefits of the Intersleek 700 system. Drydock scheduling can be

flexible with in service periods of up to five years possible.

Intersleek 700 now has a proven, hugely successful (full ship) track

record of over 60 vessels, several of which have over 60 months

experience in service.

Foul Release ‘Linkcoat’: Intersleek 717

Intersleek 717 ‘Linkcoat’ is a pioneering first and technically

advanced foul release conversion coating which functions both as a

sealer coat for existing TBT SPC antifoulings and as a strong

Linkcoat to allow the application of the Intersleek 700 foul release

system. For scheduled ship operators whose vessels are currently

coated with SPC antifoulings, Intersleek 717 offers a high

performance, cost effective conversion route to all of the associated

operational and environmental benefits of the Intersleek 700

system – without the need for expensive, full reblasting of the

underwater hull. Intersleek 717 adds to customer choice and has

opened up more attractive and flexible options for the installation of

foul release technology at Newbuilding or Maintenance and Repair.

Hull Roughness

Whilst silicone based foul release systems are applied smooth and

stay smooth in service, when considering alternative biocidal

antifouling protection it is worth remembering the basic principles of

hull roughness and the effect of increased roughness on ship

performance.

Hull roughness is defined as the maximum peak to trough height,

expressed in microns, for any given length of 50mm along the

underwater hull. There are two main types of roughness: biological

and physical. Biological roughness is the accumulation of plant or

animal growth on ships’ hulls (fouling). Physical roughness can be

attributable to vessel age and design plus the type of coating system

used – this includes anticorrosive, abrasion resistant and antifouling

coatings. Increased physical roughness commonly results from

mechanical damage, poor maintenance practice, the build up of old

coatings or from the use of a non polishing and smoothing

antifouling. Both types of hull roughness, however, will increase

frictional resistance or vessel drag resulting in an additional power

requirement and increased fuel cost to maintain vessel speed.

The economic consequences of hull roughness can be seen in the

graph “Hull Roughness vs Age of Ship”, which relates increasing

surface roughness to the percentage increase in power required to

maintain speed.

TBT free SPC antifoulings are formulated to provide high levels of

biological roughness control (fouling) and, through self polishing and

smoothing, high levels of physical roughness control. The well

proven operational benefits of TBT SPC technology can still be

realised through the correct choice of TBT free SPC antifouling.

The two curves represent typical upper and lower hull roughnessmeasurements for non-smoothing antifoulings. Roughness can increase from75µm to 250µm within two years, representing an extra 15% powerrequirement to maintain speed.

Glossary of Terms/Technology Explained

• Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) : The paint polymer or bindersystem is made soluble in seawater by “hydrolysis”. This is a controlledchemical reaction and only occurs at the surface of the coating. SPCtechnology combines controlled polishing rate and optimum biociderelease with inherent self smoothing for hull roughness control andmaximum fuel efficiency. Leached layers are always thin, <15µm (0.6 mils) providing a smooth surface.

• Self Polishing: The paint polymer or binder system is soluble inseawater. Solubility can be achieved either by a chemical reaction e.g. hydrolysis, as in SPC technology or by the use of Rosin e.g. inCDP technology.

• Smoothing or Self Smoothing: A controlled reduction in surfaceroughness of Self Polishing Copolymer antifoulings resulting from theremoval of “surface peaks”. The smoothing benefit from the use of SPCantifoulings should not be confused with a general reduction in hullroughness from abrasive blast cleaning or hydroblasting.

• Polishing: Polishing is the overall reduction of film thickness.Polishing is a bulk film effect and can occur without smoothing (but notvice versa).

• Polishing Rate: Film thickness reduction per unit time. For SPCantifoulings, polishing rate is directly proportional to vessel speed.

• Leached Layer: A biocide depleted “spent” layer at the surface ofthe coating. In SPC antifoulings the leached layer is always thin, <15µm (0.6 mils), providing a smooth surface. Conversely, CDPleached layers can become very thick, >75µm (3 mils), resulting inincreased surface roughness plus removal and overcoating difficulties.

• Leaching Rate: The release of biocide per unit time. There are threetechnologies or delivery mechanisms available to control biocide release– SPC, CDP and a combination of the two, known as hybrid SPC.

• Controlled Depletion Polymers (CDP): Antifouling with high rosincontent enabling self polishing to occur. Antifoulings with low rosincontent are referred to as ‘Contact Leaching’ antifoulings and do notpolish.

• Hybrid SPC: An antifouling with both SPC and CDP features.

• Rosin: Naturally occurring resin extracted from trees. Rosin is solublein seawater.

• Average Hull Roughness (AHR): The mean value of all hullroughness measurements on the underwater hull.

• Modal Hull Roughness (MHR): The most commonly occurring hullroughness measurement on the underwater hull.

• Hull Roughness Penalty Calculator (HRPC): A calculation tool tocompare the cost increase of different antifoulings over time (due toincreasing hull roughness) to the initial installation cost. The extra CO2

and SOX emissions, due to the extra fuel used as roughness increases,are also calculated.
