How does self-polishing antifouling work?

Self-polishing antifouling is based on a copolymer binding agent. This triggers a controlled and slow chemical reaction on the paint surface in the water. The biocides combined with the copolymers form a unique system that protects your sports boat from fouling. The rate at which the biocides are released is kept constant and low by the slow chemical reaction.
As the self-polishing antifouling always carries an active biocide layer on the surface, no thick layers build up over the years.
 

How to apply: brush or roller?

Self-polishing antifouling can be applied with a brush or roller. The advantage of using a roller for the underwater paint is that the antifouling is spread more evenly over a larger area. A brush is ideal for areas that are difficult to access, such as the bow thruster. However, there is a risk that individual fibres may come loose, making the antifouling more permeable. When applying a new coat, an antifouling product of equal quality can be applied directly to the surface of the previous antifouling layer. It is recommended to make the existing surface dust and grease-free.
