Dutch Durable Coatings is the producer of a range of revolutionary protective coatings which focus mainly on eliminating fouling for the marine industry. Through its products, DDC aims to be of significant benefit to ship owners in terms of environment and carbon footprint, time savings through maintenance reductions, and cost savings. We are based in The Netherlands but our products are delivered globally.
Our core product Neosil is the environmentally friendly alternative to conventional anti-foulings. The main difference between existing antifoulings and Neosil is the mechanism. Conventional anti-foulings dissolve in water, releasing heavy metals such as tin and copper. Besides the release of heavy metals, biocides are released as well. The conventional anti- foulings are based on the principle of killing the fouling.
Neosil is a two-component silicon based product and does not dissolve in water. The Neosil system is free of heavy metals and biocides.
Neosil can’t be described as an antifouling, since it has no fouling repelling mechanism. The fouling is able to form however is has a very weak adhesion on the coating. Due to the weak adhesion, the fouling is very easily removed either through friction or by the flow of water on the fouling by sailing. The remaining fouling can easily be removed by a working wooly (glove) or with the use of a wet brush. Due to its hard character Neosil can be treated with a scrubber.
The Neosil system is a one-layer, extremely hard system and has to be seen as a fouling release system, rather than an antifouling.
Conventional antifoulings need to be replaced once every 1 or 2 year. Neosil lasts between 7 and 10 years. Applying Neosil results in a fuel saving of approximately 8% and a reduce of maintenance, dock time, unproductive hours/days, man-hours and material costs.
