Marine Ceramic Coating: Separate Topside Finish from Immersion Service

A coating approved for an exposed topside surface is not automatically approved for continuous immersion. The service condition must be specified.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Identify the intended area relative to the vessel's actual use and obtain product-specific approval.

A surface briefly splashed during operation faces a different duty from one permanently below the waterline.

Decision limits

Do not present an ordinary ceramic coating as an antifouling or underwater system without explicit supporting documentation.
