SURICLE™ Antifouling Solutions
Suricle™ is unique in its design. It is not paint but rather a patented polyurethane product using a cold spray process which embeds micron-sized particles into an adhesive 3M polymer film at supersonic speeds, creating a nonconductive, incredibly durable one-of-a-kind antifouling surface. Hence, there’s no need for time-consuming application of multiple layers of different coatings. No adhesive is required, all you need is a water spray to facilitate its application which can occur in seconds. Moreover, Suricle™ can be applied to wet surfaces and also inhibits corrosion.
In today’s rapidly expanding marine industry, submerged static artificial structures (SSAS) used for offshore meteorological, environmental, tsunami monitoring stations, oil and gas, aquaculture, renewable energy, desalination plants, marine farms, etc are particularly susceptible to the deleterious impacts from biofouling. This unrelenting accumulation of biofouling severely impacts these critical assets’ functionality, longevity and integrity, leading to increased operational costs and downtime.

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection
The Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system offers a comprehensive solution for safeguarding ship hulls against corrosion throughout their operational lifespan. This advanced technology is designed to work synergistically with compatible protective coatings, creating a robust defence mechanism against marine corrosion.
Implementing an ICCP system significantly mitigates the risk of corrosion on aluminum and steel hulls. However, the benefits of using an ICCP system extend beyond corrosion prevention. By maintaining the hull in optimal condition, vessel owners can enjoy prolonged hull life cycles and potential savings in fuel costs due to the maintained efficiency of the vessel’s structure. This technology is adaptable to a wide range of vessels, providing a versatile solution to the universal challenge of marine corrosion.
The commitment to protecting maritime investments is underscored by the provision of long-term warranties with ICCP systems, offering vessel owners confidence in the durability and effectiveness of their corrosion protection strategy. Ensuring that vessels remain operational and in prime condition for extended periods, highlighting the ICCP system’s role as a critical component in modern maritime operations.
