1 View of a Proposed Work Item on Anti-Fouling Masashi Ono NACE International Marine Coatings Summit October 30-31, 2008 Busan, South Korea CHUGOKU MARINE PAINTS, LTD. Marine Environmental Protection The International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling System on Ship (the AFS Convention) entered into force on September 17th, International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship s Ballast Water and Sediments (Ballast Water Convention) adopted in The problem of harmful aquatic organisms in ballast water Marine Environmental Protection As the Transfer of Invasive Aquatic Species through Biofouling of Ships, regulations have take more notice and are starting to take action. Zebra Mussel Toxic Plankton Vibrio cholerae Sea Star Copper Oxide Ecological Risk Assessment has been discussed. Biofouling/Slime Biofouling/Slime 1

Tin & Copper Free Hydrolysis Low surface tension Smooth & flat surface Marine organisms are difficult to adhere and easily released Low Surface Tension Micro Surface Separation Smooth & Flat Low Friction Elasticity 1 Low Surface Tension (Energy) Silicone coatings have the low surface free energy due to the chemical structure. Moreover they are adjusted more effective surface by ingredients. Slippery Slippery 2 Micro Surface Separation Silicone coatings consist of hydrophobic materials and hydrophilic materials. It is hard to solidify protein and similar to the character of the anti-thrombus material. Therefore the heterogeneous rejection of the adhesive substances such as barnacle cement is induced, and the adhesion can be prevented. dislike dislike dislike 3 Smooth and flat Silicone coatings have the character which is going to spread with the surface tension. Therefore, ultra smooth surface is obtained. Slippery 3

4 4 Low Friction Silicone coatings are flat and smooth, and it is adjusted that a friction coefficient may become low. non stick 5 Elasticity Silicone coatings form the flat and smooth surface with elasticity. The surface with elasticity lacks stability for adhesion of marine organisms. non stick LNGC, 125,000cbm LNGC, 125,000cbm Test for Cavitation/ASTM G32-06 Test specimen ALUMINIUM BRONZE CAC703 Horn Test specimen Experimental tank Constant-temperature bath Ultrasonic Transmitter Cooling Pump 4
