Cuprotect® is a unique fouling control system, not paint, using the metallurgical, non corroding properties of copper and copper alloys to provide unmatched bio-fouling protection, even under the most stringent conditions. Cuprotect® comprises, in essence, an epoxy resin primer layer to provide a tough, stable base with a strong bond to the hull substrate. This is followed by the binder coat incorporating specially selected thixotropic agents to ensure optimum bonding between the primer and the final, sprayed-on outer layer of granular copper nickel alloy. In addition, because Cuprotect® provides an impermeable layer between water and the hull it helps protect against rust, corrosion and osmosis. Because of the shape of the copper particles, Cuprotect® is non-conductive and therefore eliminates any concern about galvanic activity. Cuprotect® is suitable for application to every type of hull in GRP, steel, ferro cement. Many wooden hulls are also suitable,
