Antifouling Hull Paint, Money Saving, Protection

Choosing the right antifouling system and its application, as well, is vital and an integral part of the boat care routine.

It is applied as an outer layer, as a coating below the waterline and on the propellers of a boat. This is to slow down and prevent the growth of microorganisms, algae, and oysters that attach to the hull and can affect the performance and durability of the boat. This process is achieved by releasing biocides into the water.

The antifouling paint is designed to be gradually removed from the water flow during the movement of the vessel, therefore maintenance should be carried out at the times specified by the manufacturer.

Problem

Hull Pollution

The main problem caused by sea pollution is the increased hydrodynamic friction. With relatively medium levels of pollution, it can lead to a 40% increase in fuel use, additional cost for the owner, a reduction in vessel speed, as well as major corrosion problems in the hull.

Benefits

Application

As with all painting processes, good preparation and priming is of utmost importance to ensure that the antifouling paint will adhere to the surface. The benefits of the process are:

The reduction of pollution caused by fauna and algae.
The minimum possible friction is ensured (so that performance is maximized, and higher speeds are achieved).
The reduction in fuel consumption by achieving a reduction in water resistance.
The prevention of hull fouling on the surface of the vessel and the improvement of hull protection.

When choosing an antifouling paint, the following factors should be taken into account:

The water in which the boat is used (fresh or salt water, temperate or tropical).
The type of boat (fast, slow).
The type of hull (wood, steel, aluminum, GRP fiberglass).
The antifouling paint, which must be compatible with the existing painting system of the vessel.
It shall also comply with the conditions laid down by the regulations.

In order to maximize the boat's performance and fuel savings, the correct cleaning of the propeller should also be taken into account. The presence of even a few oysters, algae, or roughage causes a great loss in hydrodynamic efficiency. In contrast, this efficiency is increased by about 80% when a “hard” raw propeller is polished.

Sometimes a low-priced offer can simply mean low quality antifouling paint or an inadequate preparation process, which will significantly affect not only the longevity of your antifouling system but also the longevity of your boat.
