The marine paint industry has been making big changes to be eco friendly due to growing concerns about chemical pollution in the oceans and strict regulations in place to protect marine life from harm caused by toxic metals and chemicals, in traditional antifouling paints. For example the introduction of antifouling paints made from silicone provides performance and lower resistance in water while limiting the release of pollutants into the environment. This shift towards eco solutions is also transforming associated sectors by encouraging companies, in the chemical and coatings industry to embrace environmentally conscious technologies and manufacturing processes.
