Published purpose

Preparation of a comparative life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the a new environmentally friendly coatings that is being developed by Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT) and a benchmark marine coating such as: antifouling biocide-based, copolymer auto polishing, or foul release marine coatings. Graphene-based coatings have demonstrated to be a suitable eco-friendly alternative to protect ship hulls against corrosion and biofouling. The significance of this project is to demonstrate and model graphene-based coatings versus traditional marine coatings to reduce marine industry emissions while minimizing harm to marine life.
