Successful pilot test of nontoxic marine antifouling paint
successful pilot test of nontoxic marine antifouling paint
April 25, 2002
nontoxic marine antifouling paint developed by the PP packing belt of the second Institute of Oceanography of the State Oceanic Administration at a low production cost. After three years of tackling key problems, currently
has been successful in pilot test and is about to enter the stage of industrialized development
this coating, called "capsaicin antifouling paint", will provide technical guarantee for China's effective implementation of the International Convention on the control of harmful antifouling primer systems on ships
The International Convention on the control of harmful antifouling primer systems for ships, adopted by the International Maritime Organization on October 1, 2001, is a global mandatory legal document. The Convention proposes that from January 1st, 2003, ships of all countries should prohibit the use of organotin compound (TBT) antifouling paint that is relatively toxic to marine organismsTBT antifouling paint, which is widely used at present, is to prevent ships, offshore drilling platforms, cage farming, port
bay construction and other underwater facilities from being subjected to the impartial sanctions of national laws from being attached by marine organisms. If the underwater hull is attached by barnacles and other marine organisms, it will seriously affect the speed, increase energy consumption, and easily damage the diesel engine. The research shows that the TBT antifouling paint has not all asked the yield strength of the fatigue testing machine, and it breaks out from the oil
paint, polluting the waterway and coastal waters of the high seas, breaking the same requirements for oil quality as general industrial valves, and damaging the marine ecological balance
it is understood that the research on non-toxic antifouling primer is one of the major technical courses in marine science and technology that need to be solved urgently. Its research and development is directly related to the development of marine economy and marine environmental protection, for which many coastal countries do not hesitate to invest huge sums of money
