HydroShield

Product and technology

In contemporary marine operations, the prevention of biofouling on underwater equipment is crucial to ensuring the operational efficiency and longevity of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and other marine technologies. In this context, the integration of advanced coatings such as HydroShield, which offers transparent, biocide-based antifouling properties, becomes a strategic imperative. HydroShield focuses on a patented formulation that combines self-polishing binders with biocidal nanoparticles, developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark.

The technology is superior to traditional antifouling methods by:

– Maintaining high optical clarity over extended periods
– Providing strong biofouling protection
– Reducing maintenance frequency and operational downtime
