Novel Structure Modified fumed Silica Technology (SMS) Improves AntiFouling Performance in Cuprous Oxide Based Coatings

Structure modified, nanostructured synthetic fumed silica technology was introduced more than a decade ago for improving scratch resistance and mechanical strength across coatings and adhesives / sealant industry fields. New developments now create novel design which offer environmentally sustainable improvement to anti-fouling performance in marine environments.

Structure modified, nanostructured synthetic fumed silica technology was introduced more than a decade ago for improving scratch resistance and mechanical strength across coatings and adhesives / sealant industry fields. New developments now create novel design which offer environmentally sustainable improvement to anti-fouling performance in marine environments. This paper addresses how the use of select tailor-made structure modified fumed silica technology (SMS) formulated synergistically with copper oxide (Cu2O) improves the antifouling behavior and life-cycle performance of antifouling coatings. A brief review of the model to explain the positive effects of structure modified fumed silica in Cu2O based antifouling coatings will be presented. Specific performance enhancements of increased stability and a reduced leaching of copper ions will be addressed.
