Breakthrough technologyThe ultimate ice-breaker

A breakthrough in ice technologyMarathon IQ2. The unrivalled combination of smoothness and toughness through ice.

Polar 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. The result is hydrodynamic efficiency, unequalled anywhere in the world.

Marathon IQ2 can deliver approximately 4.5% improvement in hydrodynamic efficiency beyond current ice coatings on the market.

Excellent ice slip properties

Extended duration of smoothness

Applicable by single-feed standard airless spray

Phenol-free and solvent-free

Marathon IQ2 makes sense in every way. Not only is it the toughest and smoothest coating for ice-class vessels, 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.
