GIT Coatings
GIT provides sustainable graphene-based hard foul release coatings for commercial marine vessels, reducing hull and propeller friction without biocides or silicone oils. The XGIT-FORCE hull coating delivers zero leaching and extended lifetime, while the XGIT-VORTEX™ propeller coating enables fuel savings of up to 5% and reduced performance degradation. These coatings help ship owners lower operating costs, improve CII ratings, and meet decarbonization targets.

Problem
Marine biofouling and hull roughness increase drag, leading to higher fuel consumption, greater emissions, and degraded vessel performance over time. Traditional antifouling coatings often rely on biocides that leach into the water, posing environmental risks and requiring frequent maintenance or dry-docking.
Solution
GIT provides sustainable graphene-based hard foul release coatings for hulls and propellers that reduce friction and prevent fouling without biocides or silicone oils. The XGIT-FORCE hull coating delivers ultra-low friction, zero leaching, and extended coating lifetime, while the XGIT-VORTEX™ propeller coating maintains a cleaner surface to cut fuel usage and emissions across the full operating cycle. These coatings are engineered to withstand grooming and cleaning, enabling efficient application and long-term performance. By improving propulsion efficiency, GIT helps ship owners and operators reduce fuel costs, improve CII ratings, and lower their environmental footprint.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial ship owners and operators seeking to improve vessel efficiency, meet decarbonization targets, and reduce operating costs across their fleets.
