Description
First antifouling with nano resin structure (2021) — hydrophilic-hydrophobic nano domains
Did you know
- Nippon Paint Marine launched FASTAR in January 2021, building upon a heritage of antifouling products like LF-Sea (2008) and A-LF-Sea (2013).
- FASTAR is positioned as a next-generation, advanced antifouling paint, succeeding the LF-Sea series, which includes LF-Sea and A-LF-Sea, by incorporating nanotechnology for enhanced performance.
- FASTAR's primary strength lies in its unique hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanodomain structure, which precisely controls biocide elution for consistent, long-lasting antifouling performance and fuel efficiency, even under varying sea conditions.
| Model | Launch Year | Key Technology | Fuel Savings (compared to conventional SPC AF) | Max Dry Dock Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FASTAR (XI & XII) | 2021 | Nanodomain structure, Hydrogel (water-trapping) | 7-8% | 90 months |
| A-LF-Sea | 2013 | Hydrogel (water-trapping), Rheological control | 8-10% | Unspecified (designed for 5-year spec) |
| LF-Sea | 2008 | Hydrogel (water-trapping) | Unspecified (fuel-saving) | Unspecified |
