Problems for Commercial Vessel Owners � � Has to cruise a vessel for few hours at least per day, when not in use, to Has to cruise a vessel for few hours at least per day, when not in use, to avoid the attachment of barnacles avoid the attachment of barnacles � Waste a huge amounts of fuel (increase fuel costs a lot) Even so, still barnacles start to attach � Has to recruit divers to remove barnacles Has to recruit divers to remove barnacles � Has to pay a lot of labor charge for divers � � � � Has to dry Has to dry- Has to dry Has to dry- -dock urgently (unexpected dry -dock urgently (unexpected dry dock urgently (unexpected dry- dock urgently (unexpected dry- -dock) -dock) dock) dock) � Has to pay a huge amounts of dry-docking costs besides the maintenance costs to remove barnacles and re-paint If barnacles can’t be prevented to attach and use it without maintenance till the next planned dry-dock date � � Maximum ship speed will go down Maximum ship speed will go down � Takes much more time/days to arrive at a destination and face a risk to pay for indemnification for damage from the delay (Huge costs) � � Fuel mileage will go up Fuel mileage will go up � Fuel costs will increase drastically (Huge costs)
Solution � Like this, problems caused by barnacles attached to ship bottom are too much serious today ↓ � Finally, PB SHELL 3 was developed in Japan, which totally enable to prevent barnacles to attach to ship bottom (Very innovative, but marine-friendly and even safe to human beings) human beings) ↓ � No need to be annoyed by those problems anymore, which drastically change the past practice of the ship bottom maintenance ↓ Finally, Ship owners can save a huge amounts of costs and time!!!!
What is PB SHELL3? � Very innovative additive innovative additive just to mix with ship bottom paint currently used � Comprised of 100% inorganic materials 100% inorganic materials (safer) -Active ingredient: Aluminosilicate � Outstanding effects (anti-shellfish) � � Anti Anti- -barnacles barnacles � Anti � Anti- -oysters oysters � � Anti Anti- -mussels mussels Also, � Anti-fouling, Anti-algae, Anti-microbial � � Maritime Maritime- -friendly friendly & Safe Safe to human bodies (TBT free) Ship owners can save a huge amounts of costs and time!!!!

Maritime-friendly & Safe to human bodies � Conducted Environment Burden Substances tests subject to ROHS, ELV, and JIG24 regulations. � Cleared all of those regulations � TBT free � Conducted a series of toxicity tests � Conducted a series of toxicity tests � Acute oral toxicity 2000mg/kg or more � Ames exam NEGATIVE � Skin sensitization NEGATIVE � Dermal irritation P.I.I.=0 � Eye irritation Minimal *By those safety date, PB SHELL 3 is even registered as anti-microbial agent thru SIAA, a largest antimicrobial organization in Japan
How to Use � Just mix PB SHELL3 with ship bottom paint with thinner if necessary for diluting Thinner PB SHELL3 Marine paint � Recommended paint to be mixed with � Marine oil paint with urethane, silicon, or other proper resin � Maine epoxy paint � Self polish or hydrolytic cleavage paint � Don’t use � Water based paint � Pure acrylic paint
Technical Data � Concentration (8.5%-12.5%) � Targeting lasting period of 1 -2 years � For FRP/Wooden ships 7.5% � For Iron/Steel ships 8.5% � Targeting lasting period of 2-3 years or more � For FRP/Wooden ships 12.5% (at maximum) � For FRP/Wooden ships 12.5% (at maximum) � For Iron/Steel ships 12.5% (at maximum) � Film sickness for iron/steel vessels � Basically same as the ordinary sickness � In case of 2 years dock periods 150μ � In case of 3 years or more 300μ � But can be thinner depending on the kinds of the paint used � In case of 2 years dock period 75 -100μ � In case of 3 years or more dock period 200-250μ
Real costs computation *Assume US$1 = JPY 100 1 package = 500g (0.5Kg) Listed price in Japan : JPY 18,800 (US$188) � In case of concentration 8.5% Use PB SHELL3 of 340g for 4L paint (or 1 gallon) Costs for 340g = JPY 12,784 only (US$127,84) � If introductory special discount by 20%, then JPY 10,227.2 (US$102.272) for 4L paint Per 1L = just JPY 2,556.8 (US$25.57 only) Very low costs!
Examples of cost saving for a pleasure boat � � Previous: Crane up twice a year (at minimum) Previous: Crane up twice a year (at minimum) � For the 2 years costs � Crane up fee US$100x 4 times=US$400 � Labor charge to remove barnacles and to re-paint US$100x 4times= US$400 � Marine ship bottom paint (If 4Lx1) US$100x 4 cans= US$400 � In total: US$1,200 � � � � After using PB SHELL3: if Crane up only once every 2 years After using PB SHELL3: if Crane up only once every 2 years After using PB SHELL3: if Crane up only once every 2 years After using PB SHELL3: if Crane up only once every 2 years � For the 2 years costs � Crane up fee US$100x 1time =US$100 � Labor charge to remove barnacles and to re-paint US$100x 1 time= US$100 � Marine ship bottom paint (If 4Lx1) US$100x 1 time= US$100 � Cost of PB SHELL3 (1 package as assuming using 4L paint x1) US$188x 1 can = US$188 � In total: US$488 Differences: approximately US$ 712 ( A big saving of costs and time! ) Differences: approximately US$ 712 ( A big saving of costs and time! )
