Antifouling coatings are applied to hull of a boat, yacht or ship to limit corrosion of metallic hulls and to decrease expansion of organisms on water submerged surfaces. Performance and durability of shipping vessel can be enhanced by using antifouling coating products. Antifouling coatings are also utilized in fixed and floating offshore oil rigs. Subaquatic organisms start to build colonies on parts of ship which remains underwater. The submerged surfaces in marine environment are affected by bacteria, diatoms, algae, and invertebrates which cause hydrodynamic drag development resulting in higher fuel consumption, and reduced speed and operational range. In order to maintain performance and life of vessel, manufacturers use antifouling coatings which contain special chemical intended to prevent growth of barnacles, algae, and other living organisms.

Antifouling coatings are widely used in shipping vessels, drilling rigs, fishing boats, and yachts. It provides superior polishing and smoothness effect to body and underwater surfaces of the shipping vessels. Increasing usage of antifouling coatings in passenger ships, commercial vessels, yachts, Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO), cargo, and traditional offshore drilling rigs is projected to fuel growth of the global antifouling coating market over the forecast period.
