Amphiphilic Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings

This patent introduces the next-generation coating platform that combines durability, environmental safety, and multifunctional performance. The technology leverages glycidyl carbamate chemistry to create a robust, curable network that integrates both hydrophobic siloxane and hydrophilic PEG segments. This unique amphiphilic balance enables the surface to resist adhesion of marine organisms and ice formation, delivering both fouling-release and ice-phobic behavior in a single formulation. The coatings maintain strong substrate adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to wear, making them suitable for marine vessels, offshore structures, wind turbines, and infrastructure exposed to harsh environments. The result is a scalable, solvent-free, biocide-free coating solution that reduces maintenance costs, improves efficiency, and aligns with global sustainability and regulatory trends.

Benefits

• Dual-function protection combining fouling-release and anti-icing performance

• Durable and flexible coating structure with strong substrate adhesion

• Biocide-free and environmentally compliant formulation meeting global regulations

• Amphiphilic surface design that resists both biological and ice adhesion

• Self-stratifying chemistry ensures optimal surface composition without added processing steps

• Excellent mechanical and chemical resistance for long-term durability in marine and industrial settings

• Reduced maintenance and operational costs through extended service life

• Scalable, solvent-free manufacturing suitable for commercial production and diverse applications

Applications

• Marine vessel hulls, propellers, and underwater components for fouling-release and drag reduction

• Offshore platforms, wind turbines, and buoys are exposed to marine growth and icing

• Coastal and freshwater infrastructure, such as docks, pipelines, and intake screens

• Aerospace and transportation surfaces requiring anti-icing and ice-shedding performance

• Refrigeration, energy, and HVAC systems where ice buildup impacts efficiency

• Industrial and architectural coatings need durable, easy-clean, and weather-resistant surfaces
