| Résumé : |
The attack of the bottoms of ships from marine and organisms is as old as the history of shipping itself. Several thousand marine plants and animals attach and grow on bottom surfaces in either fresh or salt water. When an immersed object accumulates a noticeable growth of marine plants and animals, it is said to be fouled. If this growth consists predominantly of barnacles or other hard-shelled animals the fouling can damage the protective coatings and expose the bare metal. As a result severe corrosion of the metallic surface occurs. If this growth on the ship bottom is in the form of long streamers of grass, the ship requires a substantially higher amount of fuel to maintain speed. Subsequently this results in higher operational costs. This growth can be retarded by releasing a substance which is toxic to fouling organisms. To protect the substrate of ship bottom let's come to the point of preparation of the coating materials which act as a barrier against the fouling bacteria, sea animals and planktons. These coatings must contain the pigments, binding media and additives which inhibit these marine organisms. |
