A titanium surface that doesn't foul.

An electrically active titanium surface that prevents marine biological adhesion without releasing chemicals into the water. It's the base technology behind all our applications.

The problem

Biofouling and corrosion ruin any system in seawater.

Weeks

Marine growth builds up

Biofouling sticks to any submerged surface and degrades its performance in weeks: more drag, less heat transfer, cleaning stops.

Chlorides

Salt water corrodes

Most materials corrode from chlorides in seawater. That limits service life and forces oversizing and equipment replacement.

Biocides

Chemistry on the way out

Biocide paints and chemical dosing fight fouling by releasing toxics into the water. EU regulation (IMO/AFS) restricts them progressively.

The proof

Fouled outside, untouched inside.

The anti-biofouling titanium surface keeps the inside of the pipe clean while the outside accumulates marine growth. No biocides, no cleaning.

  • Flow stays clear
  • Heat transfer holds
  • No maintenance stops
The technology

Electrochemical titanium, an active surface.

The titanium surface becomes electrically active and prevents biological adhesion without chemicals. Inert to chlorides, it doesn't corrode. Five years of R&D, two active patents.

NO BIOCIDES

Electrochemical anti-adhesion

The surface keeps marine organisms from settling, releasing nothing into the water. IMO/AFS compliant by design.

MATERIAL

Inert to seawater

No chloride corrosion. Technical service life over 25 years in continuous marine operation, versus the usual 5-10 years in stainless steel.

DEFENSIBILITY

Two patents, five years of R&D

The core electrochemical anti-biofouling technology is protected by two active patents in national phases. Validated in real marine environments.

CROSS-CUTTING

One base, many applications

All our solutions stem from this surface: from naval components to Titech Free Cooling for refrigeration.
