MARELCO Suricle™ 

MARELCO 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, MARELCO 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, renewable energy, etc are particularly susceptible to the deleterious impacts from biofouling. This unrelenting accumulation of biofouling severely impacts the functionality, longevity and integrity of these critical assets, leading to increased operational costs and downtime.

After more than a decade of scientific and independent research and testing, in collaboration with Kinetic Elements, MARELCO Suricle™ is now ready to revolutionise the protection of static assets. MARELCO Suricle™ is not your typical antifouling product. It’s a patented, revolutionary solution that is capable of fouling protection for up to 63 months in both temperate and tropical waters. Static testing to date has outperformed all other antifouling coatings on the market.

This means your structures can remain cleaner for longer, dramatically reducing on-going costly maintenance while maintaining the integrity and functionality of your operations.

Why Choose Suricle™?

MARELCO Suricle™ doesn’t just protect from marine fouling, it is also capable of inhibiting corrosion. This versatile film can adhere to almost any surface, making it the ideal solution for a wide range of applications in the marine environment. Choosing MARELCO Suricle™ means choosing a future where your marine operations are more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective. This could significantly reduce on-going maintenance costs, increase asset integrity and dramatically increase the safety of the crew maintaining ocean based static assets. Imagine the peace of mind knowing that your structures are safeguarded by a technology that has been tried and tested, it even protects from corrosion!

Don’t let biofouling and corrosion drain your resources—equip your assets with MARELCO Suricle™ and experience the next level of marine protection. Only available from EMCS Industries Ltd.
