Nano technology, the flexible performer

摘要

Paint manufacturer KCC has said that its nano-based paint so comprehensively outperforms conventional paints that owners will save on costs in the long term.rnAccording to KCC their nano paint was tested in accordance withrnInternational Maritime Organization Performance Standards for Protective Coatings and the new paints lasted up to 15 years compared to conventional paint which had an effective operational span of five years.rnKCC said that nano technology can bernparticularly useful in important areas of a ship, such as a ballast tank, because these tanks experience movement in the metal which cracks the paint. With nano paint the sub-atomic particles are said to be packed closely together offering a significantly higher performance.
