Coppercoat

Coppercoat Multi-Season Antifoul Coating. 10+ Years Protection and Prevention.

The only dual-function, non-eroding, epoxy antifoul coating in the world. While preventing biofouling for 10+ years, this single, highly durable, non-porous coating provides unmatched protection for aluminium, steel, composite and timber vessels and ocean infrastructure. Proven on more than 80,000 vessels and ocean infrastructure projects worldwide.

Why Coppercoat?

HullWell is the exclusive distributor of Coppercoat in NZ.

  • Coppercoat Multi-Season Antifoul Coating is proven internationally on over 80,000 vessels.

  • Coppercoat is not a paint…it is a solvent-free, water miscible, two-part epoxy.

  • Coppercoat is classified as non-eroding i.e., it does not leech biocides or any other harmful material into the marine environment.

  • Coppercoat is solvent-free i.e., it does not emit harmful VOCs into the air.

  • Coppercoat is manufactured using recycled, 99.70% pure, ultrafine copper powder.

  • The two-part epoxy composition of Coppercoat provides hull substrate protection against water ingress and osmosis that is unavailable from antifouling paints or foul-release films.

  • With a dry-finished thickness (DFT) of 200 microns, Coppercoat eliminates the requirement for primers, tie coats and undercoats that are typically required with other antifoul systems on new vessels. As a simple, single, continuous coating application, Coppercoat eliminates multiple inter-coat surfaces and the attendant risks of delamination.

  • Coppercoat is harder than gelcoat with unmatched durability against impact and abrasive damage.

  • Coppercoat is electrolytically inert and non-corrosive.

  • The finished surface of Coppercoat has a coefficient of drag equal to or lower than the best hard racing ablative antifouling paints.

  • The antifouling efficacy and protective attributes of Coppercoat are unaffected by high or low speeds or high or low frequency of use.

  • Coppercoat can remain out of the water for long periods with no impact on antifouling efficacy.

  • Coppercoat provides hull protection and antifouling prevention for up to ten or more years.
