Marine coatings protect marine structures by providing a barrier between the structure and the surrounding environment. The coatings act as a protective layer, preventing corrosion and erosion caused by water, salt, and other chemicals. They also provide abrasion resistance, preventing damage from rocks, sand, and other debris. Marine coatings can also reduce water drag, making ships and other watercraft more efficient and reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, the coatings can enhance visibility by reducing surface glare and make structures more aesthetically pleasing.
