Remove Multiple Layers of old Antifouling Paint

• Multiple layers of traditional antifouling paint add weight, volume, and speed inhibiting drag to the underwater surfaces of high-performance sail and powered craft. Vessels will be slow and | or burn more fuel.

• Traditional methods of removing antifouling paint (scraping or blasting) are labour intensive, expensive, often damage sound epoxy coatings and hull substrates and expose people to highly toxic substances. These methods of removal are now prohibited in many marine facilities.

• DeFOUL Antifouling Paint Remover is biodegradable and toxin and solvent-free.

• DeFOUL Antifouling Paint Remover typically removes ten years of traditional antifouling in a single application within 24 hours.

• DeFOUL Antifouling Paint Remover creates the ideal underwater surface base on which to develop a low-friction, high-speed final surface.

Create High-Speed, Low Friction Underwater Surfaces

• Coppercoat Multi-Season Antifoul Coating has a coefficient of drag less than most hard racing antifouling paints. It is harder than a gel coat. Burnishing Coppercoat with 600 | 1200 grade paper creates a mirror-like race-boat surface.

• Coppercoat is the only dual-function two-part epoxy antifoul coating in the world. It is non-porous and protects all hull substrate types from water absorption, corrosion, and fouling for ten or more years.

• Coppercoat will not erode on the leading edges of hulls, keels or rudders, or high turbulence areas.

• Coppercoat is proven to improve fuel efficiency and increase speed on high-performance powerboats and grand-prix racing yachts.

• Coppercoat can remain out-of-the water for long periods with no impact on its in-water performance.

• Coppercoat is solvent-free. It does not leech harmful biocides into the marine environment. It fully aligns with Sailors for the Sea – Clean Regattas’ objective – preventing the release of toxins into the marine environment.
