Robust - Integrated coating and cleaning concept for fouling control on offshore structures

Field tests ▪ Biofouling is an unsolved problem in offshore industry, it induces a lot of work and therefore high costs ▪ It causes problems, when the welding seams of offshore-structures have to be controlled by divers regularly ▪ The industrial standard coatings should be replaced by more efficient non-biocidal systems Summarized project goals: Less fouling, easier cleanings, mechanical stability of the coating, no input of biocides into the environment and lower costs at maintenance
