The Future of Green and Clean Tech for Marine

PFAS represents a group of synthetic chemicals extensively employed in various industrial and consumer products recognized for their non-stick abilities. Noting the increased dangers of PFAS, more regulatory bodies are restricting the use of PFAS, safeguarding human health.

In April 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a critical rule to designate two widely used PFAS; PFOA and PFOS, as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.

Additionally, the EPA has issued a separate policy that focuses on enforcement on parties who significantly contributes to the release of PFAS chemicals into the environment.

IGL Coatings continues to align their goals and emphasis on sustainability.

Leading towards greener technologies such as silicone-based resin technology. Which is employed extensively in the Marine Solutions ensuring a better and safer user experience.  Unlike fluoropolymers, these silicone-based coatings exhibit hydrophobic and stain repellent properties.
