Technological Development of Anti-fouling Paints with EPS as a Natural Biocide

Technological Development of Anti-fouling Paints with EPS as a Natural Biocide
Available for download

The exopolysaccharides (EPS) are a class of renewable natural polymers, which present anti-fouling property. Therefore, it may be used as an alternative to conventional additives currently used in anti-corrosive paints. The copper oxide is an additive commonly used due to its anticorrosive and anti-fouling properties.

The exopolysaccharides (EPS) are a class of renewable natural polymers, which present anti-fouling property. Therefore, it may be used as an alternative to conventional additives currently used in anti-corrosive paints. The copper oxide is an additive commonly used due to its anticorrosive and anti-fouling properties. However, this metal oxide presents toxicity to some marine organisms, and it can promote environmental problems. The incorporation of EPS in paints based on copper oxide can reduce its contents, since both present anti-fouling characteristics. Another possibility is to incorporate this polymer to a paint that shows anticorrosive characteristics, such as niobium oxide-based paint. This work presents the steps of obtaining the EPS, extracted from cyanobacterium Phormidium sp., and its incorporation to the composition of paints based on copper and niobium oxides. The main objective of this research is to produce alternative paints to the anticorrosive and anti-fouling coatings used nowadays.

We will discuss a disciplined approach to the decision-making process by developing supported defensible rational for why we do things. These things can be developing estimates, determining sales strategy, developing focus (vertical) markets, and increasing the size of our business and many others. Essentially a tool on how to get “there” from where we are today.

Compared to other polymeric materials, silicone offers greater performance in harsh environments. Inherently silicone possesses a large coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), low modulus, and a low glass transition temperate (Tg). These attributes allow it to maintain elastomeric properties for continuous operation when exposed to extreme heat, cold, and/or UV radiation. Durability is the reason silicone materials are frequently employed as coatings and sealants.
