Selfpolishing-only antifoulings v SeaQuantum hydrolysing-type antifoulings
What are the main differences between self-polishing only antifoulings and SeaQuantum hydrolysing-type antifoulings?
The successful TBT-containing antifoulings were selfsmoothing and selfpolishing. The mechanism was hydrolysis. Most other TBT-free antifoulings use hydration as their mechanism. They are selfpolishing but not selfsmoothing. Read more
Selfpolishing performance alone can result in increased hull roughness. Read more
