Marathon IQ2 is the unrivalled combination of smoothness and toughness through ice. Arctic regions offer the most extreme, harsh conditions, resulting in severe, continuous impact and abrasion on vessels operating in these waters. Standard epoxy coatings and ice coatings build up a roughness reducing hydrodynamic efficiency. Marathon IQ2 offers not just unsurpassed levels of smoothness but toughness to ensure the smoothness lasts.
Not only is it the toughest and smoothest coating, it’s also phenol-free and solvent-free, making it the non-toxic, environmentally friendly choice of coating for ice navigation while also reducing VOC emissions during application.
Marathon IQ2 ensures enhanced performance and efficient propulsion through ice in arctic environments.
