EAG offers in-house release antifouling paint release testing services, including the preparation of coated cylinders for their exposure to seawater for periods up to several months under controlled, standardized conditions. Critical to the accurate determination of biocide release rates is the skilled collection and preparation of seawater samples from custom test systems followed by analysis of biocide concentrations.
EAG’s analytical chemists have validated methods for the determination of all inorganic, organic, and organometallic biocides currently used in antifouling paints, with limits of quantitation as low as sub-parts per billion (ppb). Our experts have analyzed thousands of samples from antifouling paint release testing studies. All tests are conducted following sponsor-approved study protocols and performed based upon strict adherence to Good Laboratory Practices.
