Case Study
"I have just sold my Eclipse 33 after owning her for 17 years. I have had Coppercoat on her hull for 13 years and have been very satisfied with it’s performance during that time. It has saved a considerable amount of effort and money on the annual antifouling treatment normally required. I am about to take delivery of a new Jeanneau 35 and have no hesitation in applying Coppercoat to her before she is launched as a first priority."

Coppercoat :: Advantages
Coppercoat is the obvious choice for owners searching for increased performance with reduced costs from:
- 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!
- 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.
- GRP OSMOSIS PROTECTION - Coppercoat is based upon an inherently waterproof epoxy resin. As such, the application of Coppercoat helps to protect GRP vessels against osmotic attack.
- LOW MAINTENANCE - No more expensive and unpleasant annual stripping and repainting of hulls. Simply hose down the hull at regular intervals (commonly once a year), to remove any build up of slime.
- 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 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).
