Description
Patented LUBYON low-friction linear-polishing antifouling for fuel savings
Did you know
- International (AkzoNobel) introduced Intercept 8000 LPP in March 2013, building on a heritage of antifouling technology that dates back to 1881 and the first self-polishing copolymer (SPC) antifouling in 1974.
- The Intercept 8000 LPP is part of International's biocidal antifouling range, positioned as a high-performance option. It sits above Intercept 7000, which is described as an economical choice, and below the Intercept 8500 LPP, which is the highest-performing biocidal antifouling in the range.
- Intercept 8000 LPP is chosen for its consistent and predictable long-term performance, offering up to 90 months of fouling control due to its patented Lubyon® polymer technology. This technology creates a 'superhydrophilic' surface that reduces friction and releases biocide at an optimal, temperature-independent rate, leading to fuel savings and operational efficiency.
| Model | Fouling Control Duration | Fuel & Emissions Savings (vs. CDPs) | Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept 8000 LPP | Up to 90 months | 5% | Patented Lubyon® Linear Polishing Polymer (LPP) |
| Intercept 7000 | Up to 60 months | Not specified, economical choice | Patented Lubyon® Linear Polishing Polymer (LPP) |
| Intercept 8500 LPP | Up to 90 months | Not specified, highest performing | Patented Lubyon® LPP with silyl methacrylate SPC |
