Top of the company's range, however, and proving popular with the owners of latest generation container vessels, is Intersleek, a silicone elastomer foul release coating which is effectively non-stick. Suited to vessels operating at speeds in excess of 15 knots, water action on the hull as the vessel passes through water constantly cleans the coating so that only slime takes hold and can be washed off with a low-pressure water wash at a drydocking. 1, record 2, English, - silicone%20elastomer%20foul%20release%20coating
