The Great Revelation of Marine Biofouling

2017-08-04 00:00

The ocean,

vast and boundless,

covers more than half of the Earth's surface,

with busy ships weaving through it,

these shipping routes are the lifeblood of the global economy.

What is in the ocean? It is well known that the deep and boundless ocean is home to a variety of marine life. We can whimsically imagine swimming with whales, dodging sharks, weaving through plankton, and admiring beautiful corals... However, ships navigating the ocean do not share this sentiment...

For ships, marine fouling organisms can attach to the hull, not only ruining aesthetics but also slowing down the ship's speed, leading to increased fuel and maintenance costs, as well as environmental issues related to increased carbon dioxide emissions and ecological problems from invasive species.

Research shows that hull contamination increases the hydrodynamic volume and friction effects of the ship, resulting in a maximum increase in resistance of60%.The increase in resistance can lead to a maximum speed reduction of10%,requiring up to40%的燃料来进行补偿。

据估计，每天约有7000个物种随船舶前往世界各地，外来物种会造成巨大的经济和环境损失。以栉水母为例：栉水母于20世纪80年代随船进入黑海，到1994年，这一地区的凤尾鱼资源几乎丧失殆尽。

我来了，我看见了，我征服了

在船体上涂装防污涂层是降低海生物污染的有效方式之一。要想开发有效防止污损的涂料产品，了解不同类型的海生物污染是关键。

今天小编就带大家徜徉在深邃的浩瀚大海

认识几类关键的海洋污损生物

是的，这是一篇科普小文

通常，造成船体污损的三大关键海生物分别是生物粘液或者淤泥，海藻海草类和甲壳类。

在船体上涂装防污涂层是防止微生物损害的有效方式之一。作为值得信赖的船舶漆供应商，海虹老人一直致力于研发创新、优质的防污涂料产品来帮助客户提高其船舶运行效率、降低燃料和维修成本，并降低排放量。

海虹老人的高效自抛光防污漆以可控的方式释放杀虫剂，防止污损生物附着在船体上，让您的船舶在36到90个月的时间内保持清洁无污，而且燃料消耗量平均减少4%。

海虹老人有机硅不沾污涂料，不含杀生剂，通过在船体上产生光滑、不粘的表面让海洋有机物很难附着，从而大大降低有机物在船体附着的可能，或者有轻微的附着，在航行的过程中也会被海水冲刷清掉。

海虹老人享有专利的Actiguard主动防御技术将水凝胶-硅酮与生物杀灭剂结合一体，在水凝胶微表面层含有杀生剂活性将船体和污损生物有效隔离，形成一道高效的防污屏障，而且水凝胶层如同液相层，感觉不到是固体表面海生物很难附着。相比于传统的防污涂料，效果更加持久、显著。
