Strength & Performance

Coppercoat uses only copper of over 99% purity - this guarantees the maximum possible production of the powerful anti-fouling agent cuprous oxide.

Tests show that in products using less pure copper, or weaker alloys such as copper nickel, antifouling performance is substantially reduced (due to the slower release rate and lower overall production of cuprous oxide).

Coppercoat's average pure copper content when cured is over 83% by volume. Joined by the small particle size, this unique combination allows Coppercoat to create and expose more active cuprous oxide to marine fouling than any other product, making it the most potent and copper rich antifoul available to the general public.

The proven long-term performance of Coppercoat is unrivalled - as testified by legions of customers now enjoying their 12th 13th and 14th season of protection!

Coppercoat is increasingly used by professional racers. The hard, metallic epoxy coating can be burnished with fine 'wet and dry' paper to achieve an incredibly smooth and fast finish.

Case study

Sailing yacht 'Zest' Berth – Swanwick Marina, Hampshire Treated with Coppercoat – July 1993

These pictures show ‘Zest’ as lifted in July 2005, after 12 years afloat. After the usual 15 minutes pressure wash and inspection ‘Zest’ was ready for relaunch.

'Zest' is kept afloat 365 days a year and has not been re-anti-fouled since first treated in 1993.
