??#DidYouKnow that?‘biofouling’ costs the global marine industry more than $15 billion per year? ? That’s why?Thomas Sabel, our Technical Sales Manager for MOWITAL, is?putting a #SpotlightOn the marine coatings market. Anti-fouling protection coatings are sustainability superstars – by preventing microorganisms from increasing corrosion on ships and increasing drag, these coatings can reduce energy costs by up to 30% and extend the ship’s life. ? So, it’s important that the production of anti-corrosion coatings is as environmentally friendly as possible. To ensure this, coating manufacturers should: ???Complete a CSRD Report, outlining alignment with EU-wide standards. ???Optimise the use of compressed air in production for improved CO2?balance. ???Take a holistic view of corrosion protection processes by evaluating effects such as protection duration and of corrosion speed. ? At Kuraray, we’re continuously evolving future-oriented solutions.
