Selektope wins Stena RoRo contract

摘要

Selektope, the organic non-metal antifouling compound will be applied to the hulls of four newbuild ropax vessels being built for Stena RoRo, it was announced in June. The biorepellent ingredient, which repels barnacles by temporarily stimulating the barnacle larvae, will be added to the paint coatings used on the vessels. Tests have proven the compound to be effective even at low concentrations (0.1% w/w) and can either be applied to copper-based coatings or as a replacement for copper.
