About This Product
Cuprous oxide resin coating prevents algae from attaching. Ionomer resin that is resistant to salt and acids prevents rust.
■Preventing algae and growing algae
Isoyake is a situation in coastal areas where seaweed beds are formed, where seaweed such as kelp disappears from the shore due to damage from sea urchins, abalone, and turban shells. In the 1960s, sea denudation caused by sea urchins and abalone was reported, and it has become a serious problem to this day. Problems caused by rocky shores not only make it impossible to collect seaweed, but also lead to a decline in the organisms that feed on seaweed and the fish that live in seaweed, which spreads throughout the ecosystem.
■Research on seaweed bed creation
Seagrass reef with cage. In order to create a seaweed bed, it is necessary to grow mother algae. Caged seaweed bed reefs prevent feeding damage, grow mother algae within the cage, and release algae seeds into the surrounding sea area to regenerate the seaweed bed. However, if algae sticks to the cage and blocks it, light cannot reach the mother algae and the mother algae cannot grow, and the seeds cannot be released, so it is necessary to prevent the algae from sticking to the cage.
■Nursing fish by preventing algae
Cuprous oxide prevents the adhesion of algae and barnacles. Traditionally, highly toxic organotin compounds have been used, but their impact on the marine environment has been pointed out, and in recent years, environmentally friendly cuprous oxide has been used. By incorporating cuprous oxide into the resin and coating it, you can continue to use it slowly and for a long time.
■ Research on aquaculture wire mesh
The problem with aquaculture wire mesh. When algae and other substances adhere to aquaculture nets, the supply of fresh seawater is disrupted, which also affects the life of farmed fish. Frequently changing expensive nets also affects the cost of the fish people eat. In addition, divers sometimes go underwater to remove algae, but this is a dangerous job, so it is necessary to reduce the number of times they do this as much as possible.
■Exposure test
As a result of exposing algae-proofing resin-coated wire and galvanized iron wire in the sea for 18 months, we have confirmed that algae is less likely to adhere to the wire mesh of algae-proofing resin-coated wire.
■Significance of research on anti-algae resin coated wire
At Twaron, we are promoting research to regenerate seaweed from rocky shores and protect farmed fish through research into algae-proofing resin-coated wire.
