-- Seacoat SCT is spotlighting its advanced hard-film Silane-Siloxane coating—an innovative solution designed to outlast and outperform traditional antifouling bottom paint for commercial marine vessels. With its ultra-smooth finish, exceptional durability, and environmental compliance, the coating delivers measurable benefits for operators focused on fuel efficiency and operational uptime.
“Our focus has always been on performance with purpose,” said a spokesperson for Seacoat SCT. “This technology is not just a coating—it’s a long-term strategy for reducing drag, cutting emissions, and eliminating the maintenance burdens tied to outdated antifoul systems.”
Formulated for steel and aluminum hulls, Seacoat SCT’s proprietary coating achieves a surface roughness under five microns and delivers extremely low surface energy. As a result, hydrodynamic drag is significantly reduced, and fuel efficiency can often increase by up to 12%. Unlike conventional antifouling bottom paint, this solution is non-toxic, non-depleting, and fully scrub-capable without damage or environmental harm.
The coating is especially beneficial for container ships, bulk carriers, oil and product tankers, Ro-Ro vessels, and ferries operating under rigorous IMO EEXI and CII emission requirements. By resisting marine growth without the use of biocides or copper-based toxins, the system helps vessel operators remain compliant while maintaining peak performance. With a lifespan of up to 10 years and rapid drydock application, it also reduces recoat frequency and drydock downtime—translating to lower operational expenditures over time.
In contrast to traditional ablative coatings that erode or release harmful materials into the sea, Seacoat SCT’s solution remains intact and effective throughout its service life. This makes it ideal for underwater cleaning and hull maintenance between dry dock intervals, enabling vessels to remain efficient, clean, and in motion.
Seacoat SCT serves a wide array of marine sectors—including commercial, cruise, military, and pleasure craft—with a global footprint and proven experience in advanced marine coating systems. The company’s product range is designed to satisfy the changing needs of marine operators seeking high-performance and ecologically friendly solutions.
