Prospects for the application of titanium nanomaterials in ship coatings

nanomaterials have a lot of application space in the field of ship equipment, and ship coatings are one of the important application directions.
, hull paint and anti-fouling paint on the bottom of the ship
nomethic silica is a non-stereotyped white powder with a three-dimensional mesh structure on the surface. With strong ultraviolet absorption, infrared light reflection characteristics, can improve the anti-aging properties of coatings. Nano-titanium dioxide also has the effect of absorbing ultraviolet light, which can improve the aging resistance of coatings. They can all be used as major additives in the development of ultra-weather-resistant hull paints.
Ship anti-fouling coatings have always been one of the most special performance in marine coatings, research technology is one of the most difficult materials, due to the increasing attention to environmental protection requirements around the world, in the total prohibition of the use of organo tin anti-fouling agent has been determined the time, the development of new and efficient anti-fouling agents has become the focus of ship paint researchers in various countries. The use of nano-scale anti-fouling agents, such as nano-copper oxide, nano-zinc oxide, etc. may be an effective way, or the use of microcapsules technology, with a water-soluble resin material nano-anti-fouling agent fine powder coating to form particles, and then prepared in the coating, in practical applications, due to the role of seawater so that microcapsules gradually dissolve, slowly and effectively release anti-fouling agents to achieve a stable long-lasting anti-fouling function.
II, antibacterial coatings
nometer titanium dioxide, nano-zinc oxide and other nanomaterials can be used as non-toxic to the human body, antibacterial range, excellent thermal stability of antibacterial agents. Non-metallic materials and coatings used in ship compartments are highly susceptible to mold and contamination due to their frequent wet and small space-prone environments, particularly in subtropical and tropical marine environments. The antibacterial effect of nanomaterials can be used to prepare new high-efficiency anti-mold materials and coatings in the cabin.
, ship flame retardant coatings
the fire resistance of ships is related to ship safety, especially directly affect the ship's combat effectiveness and survivability of the key factors. Some nanoparticles have flame retardant functions, such as nano-zinc oxide can be added as flame retardant to the interior decoration materials of the ship's cabin or made into flame retardant coatings, improving the fire resistance of the ship's non-metallic decorative materials and flame retardant coatings.
