👉 Hull fluid, also known as marine lubricating oil or antifouling agent, is a specialized lubricant used in marine vessels to protect and maintain the integrity of the ship's hull. It serves multiple purposes: reducing friction between the hull and water, preventing corrosion by forming a protective barrier against seawater, and deterring marine organisms like barnacles and algae from attaching to the hull surface through antifouling properties. This fluid is crucial for ensuring the vessel's efficiency, longevity, and environmental safety by minimizing drag and reducing the need for frequent hull cleaning.
