About COPPERCOAT

COPPERCOAT is the combination of a specially developed solvent-free epoxy resin and high purity (99%) copper. Each litre of resin is impregnated with 4.4 lbs of ultra fine spherical copper powder, the maximum allowed by law, making COPPERCOAT the strongest copper based anti-fouling available. Indeed no other anti-fouling exposes as much active copper to unwanted marine life as COPPERCOAT.

Classified as non-leaching, this highly effective coating is considerably kinder to the environment than its' self eroding competitors while continuing to deter growth year after year. Indeed, correctly applied treatments resist barnacle growth for a decade or more!

Today COPPERCOAT alone has a proven lifespan of 10 years plus, with an unequalled continual sales record dating back to 1991. No other copper based epoxy anti-fouling has the enviable pedigree of the original COPPERCOAT

Advantages

COPPERCOAT is the obvious choice for owners searching for increased performance with reduced costs from:

1. •UNBEATABLE LONGEVITY - Unlike regular coatings, hardwearing COPPERCOAT remains effective for many seasons. A single treatment of COPPERCOAT is proven to remain effective for at least ten years. The first boats treated are still clean after 15 seasons!
   

2. •EXTRA EFFICIENCY - The combination of high copper content and a unique blend of biocides ensures ultra low growth rates and a clean hull. Motorboat owners report increased speed at lower revs, meaning a lower rate of fuel consumption and less engine wear. Professional racers can burnish the surface if required.
   

3. •FIBERGLASS OSMOSIS PROTECTION - COPPERCOAT is based upon an inherently waterproof epoxy resin. As such, the application of COPPERCOAT helps to protect Fiberglass vessels against osmotic attack.
   

4. •LOW MAINTENANCE - Simply wipe the hull at regular intervals to remove the build up of slime. Fully approved for use by both professional applicators and the do it yourself boat-owner.
   

5. •ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - Being epoxy based COPPERCOAT is classified as non-eroding and causes less harm to the environment than conventional anti-foul paints. The complete treatment is US EPA approved and has been tested and approved by the Health and Safety Executive, in compliance with UK and EU law. Holding HSE Certificate Number 7532 our anti-fouling is fully approved for use by both professional tradesmen and the general public. Furthermore, COPPERCOAT fully complies with current (2001) International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Resolution MEPC.102(48).
