OVERVIEW
FASTAR, a proprietary antifouling coating incorporates for the first time a hydrophilic and hydrophobic nano domain structure using unique technology.
The coating efficiently consumes biocides and provides excellent antifouling performance. With its nano domain technology, FASTAR is a next-generation antifouling paint that is environmentally friendly and supports the efficient operation of vessels and the marine business.

FEATURES
NANO-Technology
Self Polishing & Self Smoothing Anti-Fouling Paint with NANO-Technology. Combines both Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic in Nano-structure.
- Maintaining precise, stable, and sustainable antifouling performance
- Improved Operational Efficiency
- Environmental Protection
Focus on the surficial film of coating
To develop a new antifouling paint, Nippon Paint Marine adopted a method of modifying the surficial film of coating rather than selecting biocides. Aiming for “higher antifouling performance”, our unique nanodomain technology is applied on the surficial film of the coating.
Control of Elution of Antifouling Components
To develop the antifouling function, an antifouling component is emitted from the biocides. The widespread and stable elution of antifouling components was made possible by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanodomain structures. The antifouling components are diffused in the surficial film of the coating by the hydrophilic domain and retained by the hydrophobic domain, and is stably eluted over wide ranges.
High Solid Content

SUSTAINABILITY
For the purpose of sustainable environmental protection, we created HydroSmoothXTTM, a Hydrogel Water Trapping Technology that enables low fliction and low fuel consumption with innovative technologies.
Inspired by the technology cultivated with these antifouling paints, “FASTAR” aims at marine conservation and comfortable operation of ships, which eventually leads to customer satisfaction and enriches our lives. It plays a role in real value creation.
We remain committed to ESG management of ship owners and ship builders through FASTAR.
