Biofouling is the ever-present enemy of private boat owners and antifouling is an essential element of routine boat care. Small accumulations of fouling on the hull can quickly grow into larger masses causing a lot of resistance and severely hampering a vessel’s manoeuvrability as well as wasting fuel in motorboats. Copper antifouling techniques have long been used for large ships as the metal creates a poisonous film when in contact with the water, and also dissolves slowly, to prevent anything from attaching to it. Antifouling paint is therefore often copper based, and is the most simple solution to avoid the build up of biofouling.
