- The use of NTMET Powders in antifouling paints and coatings addresses most of the problems of traditional biocides.
- The structure of NTMET Powders, which is readily disrupted during the paint mixing process, due to the high specific surface area and biocidal properties of their components, allows extended protection against microorganisms and viruses while substantially reducing the consumption of copper additives, and also reduces the speed of fouling of the surfaces and correspondingly to enhances wear resistance of the coatings.
- In contrast to traditional antifouling active ingredients, NTMET Powders enable the controlled release of ions under varying external conditions throughout the coating’s lifespan.
- The production costs of NTMET Powders are many times lower compared to available on the market nanomaterials of similar composition. The economic efficiency of such antifouling paint is determined not only by a reduction in the consumption of copper powder but also by a reduction in fuel costs and cleaning costs of the fouling of ships.
- Applications:
⁃ Paints for ships, boats, yachts, port facilities, bridge supports, oil platforms, docks, and berthing structures.
⁃ Industrial Coatings: Paints for metal machinery and structures, bridges, water intake systems at treatment and desalination plants, water cooling systems in the energy sector, etc.
⁃ Household Coatings: Paints for buildings, facades, and metal structures. Areas of application: paints for ships, boats, and yachts; paints for port facilities, bridge supports, oil platforms, docks, and berthing structures; industrial paints for various tanks, metal structures, bridges, and water intake systems at treatment and desalination plants; water cooling systems in the energy sector; household paints for wooden houses, facades, and metal structures.
