Electromagnetic protection coating
Available
KleGuard
EMI Shielding Coating—EMI protection and corrosion.
A one-part homogeneous coat—delivers EMI shielding and electrical conductivity with corrosion protection.
Anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coating
KleProtect
Multi-Coat Sealer—hydrophobic armor against corrosion, abrasion and fouling.
Available
KleProtect is a one-part homogeneous solvent coating built on functionalized graphene nanoparticles. Overlapping flakes form a barrier that resists corrosion, reduces fouling adhesion, and makes cleaning easier. It comes in three versions: KleProtect CA “Blackmamba” is a corrosion inhibitor and anti-fouling coating, KleProtect C is a corrosion inhibitor, and KleProtect AF is an anti-fouling coating. It goes on by brush, roller, spray, or dip coating with no mix step.

Problems solved
Corrosion
Chloride, moisture, and chemicals work through conventional coatings and into the steel beneath.
Biofouling
Marine growth adds drag and fuel burn, and copper-based paints are under regulatory pressure.
Energy efficiency
Fouling, drag, and short coating life raise fuel use and maintenance cost.
Environmental compliance
Copper phase-out, NAVSEA requirements, and restricted-metal bans are pushing coatings off the old chemistry.
