Coppercoat: Coppercoat Superyacht Debuts at Monaco Yacht Show

Coppercoat Superyacht, the longest lasting anti-foul coating available,on Superyacht UK stand QS32. 

Aquarius Marine Coatings Ltd attends the Monaco Yacht Show for the first time to showcase its new multi-season anti-foul, Coppercoat Superyacht. The most durable anti-foul coating available, a single treatment of Coppercoat Superyacht commonly provides fouling protection for a decade or more. An application of Coppercoat Superyacht allows vessels to remain in operation year after year without the down-time and expense of the dry-docking and repainting associated with traditional anti-foul coatings that require regular renewal.

The highly acclaimed Coppercoat has been reformulated specifically for the Superyacht sector. This high-strength, water-based, solvent-free epoxy coating can be applied by airless spray to provide a super smooth finish which remains clear of marine growth. The hard epoxy surface withstands repeated scrubbing, allowing the easy removal of slime. The hydro-dynamically efficient surface has been shown to improve hull speed and fuel efficiency, season after season.

Coppercoat has been supplied to over 60,000 vessels worldwide and is used and trusted by many of the best-known boat-builders. Ewan Clark, director of the manufacturing company Aquarius Marine Coatings Ltd, said: “Coppercoat has now been available in its smaller boat format for many years and has gained several accolades for its effectiveness. We are highly experienced in the application of our products on all substrates and are confident that Coppercoat Superyacht will keep any yacht in operation with a clean underwater profile for many years. Several of the boats treated back in the early 1990’s have now enjoyed over 20 years of immersion with no anti-foul reapplications necessary, providing their owners with very significant financial savings during that time. Officially launching Coppercoat Superyacht at the Monaco Yacht Show brings the updated version of this remarkable coating to a wider audience, finally enabling the Superyacht market to benefit from this anti-fouling revolution. Having already supplied the original Coppercoat to a variety of Superyachts we are confident that Coppercoat Superyacht will be highly successful in this key sector.”
