We have established FIR theory which can estimate the Friction Resistance by

measuring and evaluating roughness(Rz) and wavelength(RSm) of the paint surface,


and have been carrying out the evaluation of fuel saving effect with more accuracy.

Fuel Saving AF

CMPs Leading Edge Technology of

A Unique Anti-fouling Beyond Silyl

Smooth surface roughness by long wavelength play important roles to reduce


hull friction. SEAFLO NEO Series are well designed in providing those two
functions and achieved low friction and thus can contribute saving fuel.

SEAFLO NEO was awarded Minister of Land,


Infrastructure and Transport Prize in 2012, as
a successful case of great contribution to the
promotion of industry-university collaboration by achieving
significant result on development and practical application
of the paint which reduces the hull resistance and VOC.

Verifying the fuel saving effect more accurately


Reducing the Friction Resistance of the hull bottom leads
to fuel saving.

CMP, governmental research organization and University jointly developed low


friction anti-fouling paint with the concept of Fuel saving / Low VOC , and also
establishd FIR theory as a method of evaluating the low friction effect, which has
been applied for a patent.

Roughness

The reduction technology of Friction Resistance by anti-fouling paint for underwater


hull is gaining more expectations under the circumstances of environmental
regulations for ships, e.g. EEDI (IMO: Energy Efficiency Design Index), since it is
claimed that the Friction Resistance is about 60-80% in total hull resistance which
greatly affects the fuel consumption of vessels.

Roughness : Low Wavelength : Long

Low roughness and Long wavelength bring Low FIR value, that is
Low Friction Resistance
Friction Resistance Low (Low in FIR value)

Fuel saving effect : Good

Roughness

Our latest hydrolysis antifouling paint SEAFLO NEO is a new


generation paint which was introduced in 2010 through our
research and development focusing on low Friction Resistance,
and it has been applied to more than 200 vessels.

Roughness : Low Wavelength : Short

Friction Resistance Medium (medium in FIR value)

It has been reported that SEAFLO NEO was verified to achieve 1-4% fuel-saving at
sea trial in newbuilding. However in case during ship sailing after the delivery, it has
been claimed that it is difficult to proof whether actual fuel saving effect was caused
by paint/paint application because ships are affected by various factors e.g.
hydrographic conditions during the sailing. Therefore, the test results from reliable
organization and reliable test facility can be a significant indicator.
The fuel saving characteristic of SEAFLO NEO series are well substantiated by
fluid mechanism as well as reliable science and technology.

Fuel saving effect : Fair

Roughness

The expected cost saving amount will be around several hundred


thousand dollars, when converting these effects into calculation of
the fuel consumption until next dock, although it varies depending on
vessel type, size, or operation condition, etc.
