Anti Fouling Propeller Coating in Shoreham Port - Ship Propeller Cleaning

Anti-fouling propeller coating is a protective layer applied to ship propellers to prevent marine growth and corrosion.

Ship propeller cleaning involves removing biofouling, debris, and deposits to maintain efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

Both processes enhance propeller performance, prolong lifespan, and minimize environmental impact.

Key specifications and technical properties of Anti-Fouling Propeller Coating and Ship Propeller Cleaning:

Anti-Fouling Propeller Coating:

- Size: Typically applied in layers (50-200 microns dry film thickness)

- Grade: Marine-grade, self-polishing copolymer (SPC) or foul-release silicone-based

- Viscosity: 50-150 cP (varies by formulation)

- Buoyancy: N/A (applied directly to propeller surface)

- Material: Copper-based biocides, silicone, or hybrid polymers

- Durability: 2-5 years (depending on vessel operation and water conditions)

Ship Propeller Cleaning:

- Size: Adaptable to propeller diameter (manual or robotic systems)

- Grade: Abrasive (grit blasting) or non-abrasive (ultrasonic/high-pressure water)

- Viscosity: N/A (mechanical process)

- Buoyancy: N/A (performed in dry dock or underwater by divers)

- Material: Stainless steel brushes, water jets (200-500 bar pressure)

- Efficiency: Removes 90-100% of biofouling without damaging substrate
