Advantages:

Metal-free antifouling agent

• Low use concentrations provide cost-effective alternative to copper-based antifoulants

• Broad spectrum control of hard fouling organisms

• Long-lasting efficacy

• Effective in marine and freshwater environments

• Breaks down rapidly in the aquatic environment

• Does not induce galvanic corrosion, particularly suitable for metal hulls including aluminium

• Provides paint formulation flexibility including bright colours and improved colour retention, lower VOC as well as water based paints
