POLYFLAKE® EUROPE BV
POLYFLAKE® - POLYTUBE® - POLYGLIDE® since 1987
PolyGlide – Hull Coating Technology - Corrosion protection and Anti Marine Growth
POLYFLAKE® & POLYGLIDE® Underwater Hard-Coating Systems
- POLYFLAKE® = High performance long term Anti Corrosion Protection
- POLYGLIDE® = High performance Anti Marine Growth Protection
- Most environmental-friendly anti marine growth technology – non toxic
- LIFETIME PROTECTION SYSTEM
Simple System of 2 coats
- Apply the Base coat > PolyFlake – about 850 micron to 950 micron
- Apply the Top coat > PolyGlide – about 120
Benefits and Qualifications
- PolyGlide is ideal for ANY VESSEL - new building or existing vessels.
- Suitable for slow steaming or fast running container vessels
- Eco Friendly as PolyGlide antifouling does NOT shed-off harmful paint particles into the seawater
- PolyFlake Base coat at 850 to 950 micron DFT
- PolyGlide Top coat at 120 micron DFT
- 400% more coating adhesion compared to any other coatings on the market.
- Potentially compatible with the existing basecoat on the vessel’s hull -
- Ideal for all areas of the hull, Rudder, Icebelt, Bowthruster- tunnel, Seachests, Moonpool, etc.
- Marine Fouling will be almost completely prevented from attaching to the hull in-between the docking intervals – during the drydocking > just HP wash down (150 bar).
- In order to achieve the best performance of the coating system it is advisable to allow for 1 hull coating every 12 to 18 months should same be necessary – this is based on the operations frequency of the vessel.
- Fuel savings are the consequential result of Minimal Marine-growth.

Efficiency
Coating Cost: the 4 Diagrams show
- The recuring Coating Cost per docking and based on a 5 year docking interval.
- **The Silicon Antifouling may be renewed after even 2,5 years of operation instead of the shown 5 years interval.
* PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY LOSS IN % FROM THE COATING AND THE MARINE GROWTH / FOULING - CACULATION COEEFICIENT AT CRUISE SPEED ENGINE OUTPUT AND 21% VESSEL SHAPE DRAG PERCENTAGE. BASED ON A CONTAINER VESSEL OF 245M X 32,2M
