It is rather shocking how long it's taking the marine industry to switch away from absolute garbage copper paints to better alternatives, like the mentioned silicon and maybe with a hydrophobic coating over that.

Or Seajet Bioclean Eco, I thought the two looked very similar. Except in price and promised lifespan, which puts Seajet Bicolean Eco ahead of Hempel (if their claimed 3 years can be trusted).

Nothing new here, while the silicone coatings are seriously easy to clean, if left, like most boats are, the micro and macro fouling will adhere to them and barnacles will eventually eat through the coating. If you are prepared to clean the hull on a regular basis, the silicone coatings are definitely the way to go, but unfortunately the reality is that most boat owners cannot keep up a cleaning program to suit.

A boat "constantly on the move" is not necessarily a representative test boat. If growth happens while in berth, and the polishing under way... I live very far from my boat, and while i use it maybe 1/3 of the year - year round - it's berthed up to a month at a time. No amount of 6 knot sailing polishes those carbunkles.
@rogerdinnis38162 жыл бұрын
All very good if your boat is regularly on the move, but most boats sit still for most of their time. A test for the static boat, perhaps?
@hugoandreae37852 жыл бұрын
That’s why we are also monitoring a static board with the same products and will report back every six months or so. No great difference between boat and board at the moment.

I've actually solved the silicone antifouling problem , almost 3 years into r&d and the solution was accompanied by a facepalm after spending so much time in over hundreds of formulations. None of the current silicone antifoulings work, they either keep a very low modulus accompanied by low tensile and shear strength because they can't add enough fumed silica in the silicone polymer hence some sea organisms can penetrate and adhere to it or they make it too hard with little fouling release efficieny, Fuji film had a division close over 10 years ago because they couldn't solve that problem, the akzo nobel companies took massive funding from the EU because of their connections and went around that problem without every solving it, neither international, jotun, or hempel has a real replacement for antifouling, their tensile strength is 0.5-1.0 MPa which is soft and brittle like gelatin, don't get me started on propspeed these guys are scam artists.

looking at the strips in between where there was no anti fouling. these areas are extremely inconsistent. There are some with very little growth and then there is one with extreme growth. you would expect that they should all be the same. That makes this whole test questionable for me.

I agree and I can't explain the difference between the non-coated areas so I'm a bit confused.

Bottom paints are bad for the ecosystem. I guess the newer ones are less effective because nowadays they are more regulated and cant contain too much poison.
