PPG names recipients of 2025 Excellent Supplier Awards

Key Terms

antifouling coatings technical

Antifouling coatings are special paints applied to ship hulls, offshore structures, and marine equipment to prevent barnacles, algae and other organisms from attaching and growing, much like a nonstick surface keeps food from sticking to a pan. They matter to investors because these coatings reduce fuel use and maintenance costs, improve vessel speed and lifespan, and must meet environmental rules—factors that affect operating expenses, capital outlays and market demand in shipping and marine industries.
