Nippon Paint Marine harnesses biomimetics in next-gen coatings

Nippon Paint Marine has published a new white paper detailing the role that biomimetics has played in the development of its patented HydroSmoothXT hull coating technology.

Biometics is an “imitating nature” approach to technology development and a specialist team from Nippon Paint Marine’s R&D program studied the natural characteristics of marine life to inform the development of the HydroSmoothXT technology. The performance of Nippon Paint Marine’s antifouling coatings range – which include...
