IFI: Innovation in Marine Coatings

A Leader in Coating Technology

IFI has transformed the naval coating sector, particularly in the governmental field, by introducing solutions that redefine efficiency and sustainability standards for vessels of all sizes.

From Tradition to Advanced Technology

In a market dominated by standard products, IFI has conducted extensive military testing and validation campaigns, introducing the first hull coating system compliant with MIL specifications. These technologies come from AkzoNobel, the world’s largest paint manufacturer and one of the few companies capable of investing substantial financial and professional resources in research and development.

INTERLEEK: The Energy-Saving Revolution

Our flagship product, INTERLEEK, has transformed the performance of naval units:

Reduced fuel consumption thanks to extremely low surface roughness.
Increased operational range and lower operating costs.
Zero environmental impact, free of biocides and without the release of harmful substances.

This technology allows vessels to “glide” through the water while maintaining clean surfaces and preserving the marine environment.

Advanced Solutions for Safety and Performance

LSA (Low Solar Absorption) coatings to reduce heat and maintain lower internal temperatures.
Military-spec no-skid coatings to ensure onboard safety in critical conditions.
Specialized coatings for aircraft landing areas, designed for maximum reliability.

The goal is to guarantee safety at sea, for both operators and the environment, through cutting-edge solutions.
