Ecofix, a steel-repair filler compatible with Ecoshield, is used to rebuild the substrate where cavitation has already taken ...

Researchers have already explored the idea of using water-repellent ship coatings that let ships travel faster and farther. The US Navy, however, is taking things a step further. It's backing ...

A new coating for ships keeps clean by literally shaking off barnacle buildup. The coating moves, at a molecular level, whenever it's stimulated with stretching, pressure or electricity. A ship ...

PEG has recently been incorporated into some fouling-release coatings for ships. PEG uses a layer of water molecules hydrogen bonded to its surface to block biofilms and proteins from sticking.
