🚢🌊 Exciting Advances in Marine Coatings and Sustainability! 🌿✨ Having previously worked at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden on the environmental impact of antifouling technologies (a hat-tip to Philip Chaabane and Emiliano Pinori), I often find myself diving into the latest innovations in this field. One such innovation that caught my eye is Hempel A/S’s high-performance marine coating solution, Hempaguard (see: https://lnkd.in/dsqvFmfP ) Hempaguard, including the advanced Hempaguard X7, offers remarkable fuel savings of up to 20%, accelerating decarbonization efforts in the maritime industry. This silicone-based hull coating, powered by ActiGuard technology, combines advanced hydrogel silicone with an efficient fouling-preventing biocide, prolonging the fouling-free period and boosting the antifouling barrier. Launched in 2013, Hempaguard has revolutionized energy efficiency for vessels worldwide, significantly reducing carbon emissions. The recent third-party validation by DNV - my former employer - objectively confirms its outstanding performance, including up to 20% fuel savings and an average speed loss of only 1.4% (see: https://lnkd.in/dNqrexsQ ). Hempel’s Executive Vice President, Alexander Enström, highlighted a significant milestone: over 4000 applications worldwide, equating to taking approximately 5 million cars off the road in saved CO2e emissions. 🚗💨 Innovations like Hempaguard demonstrate the tangible impact of premium antifouling solutions on sustainability and efficiency in the maritime industry. Kudos to Hempel A/S for leading the way! 👏🌍 How does Hempaguard benchmark against current antifouling technologies in terms of cost and environmental impact, whether they are based on the release of biocides or low-adhesion coatings? #Sustainability #Innovation #MarineCoatings #Decarbonization #EnvironmentalImpact #MaritimeIndustry #Hempel #Hempaguard #DNV #RISE #Antifouling #Selektope #Sweden #Denmark
