FIELD TESTS

High Speed Ferry "Superba"
High speed ferry Superba had its twin rudders protected from hard fouling and corrosion.  All previous coatings applied to the rudders lasted less than 6 months due to the extreme abrasiveness of the vessel's prop wash.  In addition, the sacrificial anodes attached to the rudders required replacement every 6 months.  One year after application of Zetan both the rudder coating and anodes were in as new condition.


German Navy Submarine Shed
German Navy Submarine Shed, located at Kiel, Germany in an area which is heavily infested with Zebra Mussels.  Building piling was coated with Zetan to test its efficacy in preventing corrosion and mussel accumulation.  After one year, the Zetan remained free of both corrosion and Zebra Mussels.


Ben Royal
Ben Royal, an 80 foot tugboat, remained free of corrosion and hard fouling, such as barnacles, since being protected by Zetan from 1991 until scrapped in 2001.
