ANTIFOULING for clean and healthy waterways
Conventional antifouling paints, without exception, try to prevent the on-growth of mussels, algae and other organisms through toxic substances they contain. Aside from chemical aspects and their environmental implications, such methods are not even efficient: The paints usually do not last long. And their antifouling effect is weakened whenever the ship lies still. While waters get intentionally polluted by the toxic substances leaking into it.
Finsulate® has proven that efficient antifouling can be done much easier and cleaner!
Finsulate® is a very special film, developed to protect the hull of a ship. Tiny spines on its surface prevent the attachment of algae, mussels or other organisms. The hull therewith becomes “insulated”. The only chance for organisms to attach is on the outer end of those tiny spines. But from there they can easily be brushed off. And the ship can stay in the water while the removal happens.
Thanks to its physical properties, Finsulate® provides efficient antifouling for a long time. This protection also works no matter if the ship is moving or lying still. And its durability of at least 5 years means that you’ll definitely save on the yearly maintenance costs. All that while actively protecting the environment!
