www.marinelink.com 67Jotun announced the launch of SeaLion Resilient, a high perfor- mance marine coating based on epoxy-polysiloxane technology. Following research and testing, Jotun introduced what it is calling the industry?s Þ rst anti-fouling coating that includes epoxy-polysiloxane, a compound of resins and hardeners that provides highly resilient hull protection. When combined with Jotun?s proven Fouling Release Coatings (FRC) technology, the epoxy-polysilox- ane in SeaLion Resilient is designed to prevent settling of organisms on the hull and produces a glossy, smooth surface. The properties of SeaLion Resilient, according to the manufacturer, signi Þ cant-ly reduces the risk of mechanical damage and maintain hull condition through-out the service period. By simplifying maintenance and reducing need for repair, SeaLion Resilient can contribute to a reduction in off-hire time and docking and labor costs, while keeping paint consumption to a minimum.In addition to the strong coating features reducing mechanical damage, SeaLion Resilient resists fouling and provides a smooth surface that decreases drag and hence effecting carbon emissions by savings in fuel consumption. Requiring only two coats, Sea Lion Resilient is designed to be easy to apply and cuts time spent in dock, resulting in signiÞ cant savings related to mainte- nance and repair. SeaLion Resilient is a biocide-free coating and has low VOC emissions, making it a sustainable coating solution. The product was formally launched at the Miami Cruise Shipping Exhibition. www.jotun.com Your trusted partner for bolted jointsFrom design to operation, the Nor d-Lock Group is a world leader in bolt securing.
