Bottom Painting

Antifouling

If your boat is kept in the water for even a few weeks at a time, marine growth will begin to accumulate on the waterline, hull, and running gear of your vessel. While having regular hull cleanings from a professional diver is critical, antifouling paint is your first line of defence against marine growth. Keeping your bottom paint fresh is imperative for ensuring your boat will continue performing at its best and for reducing costs at the fuel dock.

Ablative Antifouling

Sea Hawk Biocop Tf

Sea Hawk Premium Yacht Finishes

Biocop TF was developed as an alternative to tin-based antifouling paints to protect against the harshest marine environments and provide maximum protection. A new dual-biocide technology and revolutionary polymer binder system “PL3” produces an engineered biocide that leaves no harmful effects on the environment. Biocop TF is considered the top performer among antifouling paints and is safe in salt or fresh water on boats of all sizes.

Hard Antifouling

Pettit

Trinidad SR is the standard by which all bottom paints are measured. Trinidad SR remains the longest lasting, strongest antifouling paint available. Trinidad SR provides a hard protective coating with excellent adhesion and a durable finish that withstands even the toughest fouling conditions. Trinidad SR’s high copper load is paired with a specially formulated algaecide (Irgarol) to create an antifoulant with unprecedented resistance to barnacles, algae, slime, and other marine and fresh-water fouling organisms. Left in the water, Trinidad SR will provide years of dependable service.
