Antifouling
Marine bio-fouling on boats has existed since the time man first put to sea in a vessel. It results in corrosion, increased drag, loss of speed, reduced manoeuvrability, increased fuel consumption and the transportation of nuisance marine species.
Boatservices Australia leads the field in the latest technology of effective 'Anti-fouling' systems. We have spent a considerable amount of time researching the most effective systems and paints available worldwide that provide the most optimum protection for your vessel from bio-fouling.
At present we offer two alternatives that are proven for your vessels protection.
Paint
Whether you want a touch-up or the whole boat taken back toGel-coat and re-antifouled. Using our air driven Wet and Dry sander system we can rejuvinate your hull and give it the perfectly smooth finish required for anti fouling to adhere properly, why just apply it over last years old paint.
Cuprotect
Cuprotect™ is a complete hull protection system made from a 90/10 copper nickel alloy that effectively inhibits bio-fouling and eliminates the need for toxic antifouling paints. In addition to its unique anti-fouling properties, by forming an impermeable seal between the boat hull and the water, Cuprotect™ protects the hull from degradation caused by osmosis in GRP, rust in steel and rot and marine infestation in wood. Cuprotect™ also offers protection against galvanic corrosion – without the need for sacrificial anodes and provides many years of guaranteed durability with little or virtually no maintenance.
