KILL DRAG AND NOTHING ELSE
A SEA OF CHANGE AQUACOTE IS THE BIOCIDE-FREE ANTI FOUL PAINT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Our pursuit for ‘the
best’ has taken us
around the globe, to every ocean and all marine conditions
Maximum performance, top speed and greater fuel efficiency used to cost the earth. Now the AquaCote anti fouling system delivers it all -without harming marine wildlife or damaging ecosystems. There’s no need for limbide scrapers, no toxic blooms, no paint covered diving gear. Just wipe clean with a squeegee to reveal the good-as‐new coating.
We guarantee divers will come up clean and with regular maintenance, your AquaCote foul release coating will last upto five years. Delivering better performance through significantly reduced drag and fouling, AquaCote foul release coatings are easy to apply, durable and biocide-free.
“I can’t see me going back to regular anti fouling because AquaCote really does seem to do what it says on the tin” “Sevo”, Windy 37, Mediterranean, Harry Metcalf
FOUL RELEASE VS. ANTI FOUL FOUL RELEASE COATINGS OFFER A NUMBER OF BENEFITS OVER TRADITIONAL ANTI FOUL SOLUTIONS INCLUDING:
Two coat process that lasts for up to five years
Improved fuel efficiency & reduced Co2 emissions
AquaCote coatings use a dual-action, fluoropolymer foul release coating to create an exceptionally smooth surface. This maximizes boat speed and helps prevent organic fouling. Completely biocide-free and easy to apply, AquaCote coatings are the eco-friendly foul release paint you’ve been waiting for. One application of AquaCote will last up to five years and only requires a simple cleaning programme.
Covers hulls, running gear, lights, stabilisers & anything under the water line

Increased speed
Foul simply wipes off
No leaching of heavy metals into the ocean
A rough and fouled hull adversely affects boat performance, creating drag, reducing top speed and increasing fuel consumption. Traditional anti fouling paints fix this by leaching toxins into the water to kill the fouling organisms. But they also damage eco-systems and pollute the marine food chain. Anti fouls are less cost effective. They need to be removed and reapplied each season, requiring an intense maintenance programme.
Foul release coatings are the way of the future - the future begins now...

Enhanced boat
performance
through reduced drag & fouling
For a boat to run at its optimum performance, the hull and running gear need to be clean and clear. Trials of AquaCote’s foul release products have revealed optimum performance levels can be achieved and maintained throughout the season.
Both anti foul and foul release coatings will do this. However, foul release adds a super smooth layer to reduce roughness and drag. This means your boat’s hull and propeller experience less friction with the water, allowing them to achieve maximum speed and use less fuel getting there.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY KILLS DRAG & NOTHING ELSE
AquaCote is as kind to marine life as it is to your boat
Achieving your boat’s maximum hull performance used to come at the cost of marine life. Traditional anti foul paints use an ablative coating to slowly expose layer after layer of toxins, biocides and cuprous oxide, killing wildlife and harming eco-systems long after the anti foul stops working.
Foul release coatings offer a whole new approach to micro and macro fouling control. Instead of biocides and heavy metals like traditional anti foul paint, they use a fluoropolymer or silicone base. This means no poisons or dangerous contaminants impacting marine creatures, habitats and food chains.
MORE SPEED, LESS FUEL SEE IMMEDIATE COST SAVINGS IN THE FORM OF REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION Delivering increased speed through significantly reduced drag, AquaCote foul release coatings provide upto five years of fuel efficiency and biocide-free anti fouling. AquaCote can be applied to your hull, prop and stern gear to increase top speed and improve fuel efficiency.
With basic underwater maintenance AquaCote will deliver consistent results, whilst also reducing fuel consumption.

“It was very easy and quick - it took me just over an hour to clean the entire hull. In the end I only had marine growth to clean out of my wetsuit and gear, not nasty anti foul!” “Figaro”, Pelin Pastime 28, New Zealand, Mark Jennens - Diver

TESTIMONIALS “FABULOUS. When first launched the yacht was at least half a knot, possibly a full knot faster than last year. Engine revs are at least 10 percent lower this year compared to last year’s for similar boat speed. Cruising speed is achieved in lighter winds and the boat’s response to even slight increases in wind speeds is excellent. You can feel the acceleration! She seems to glide through the water much easier and just feels so much better than last year.” “Jessie”, Moody Eclipse 36, Scotland, David Armstrong
“Over a year of testing later (and over six years by AquaCote worldwide) I am very pleased to say that this is a product that really works! Our tests revealed that the fouling falls off underway at high speed, increasing top speed and fuel efficiency over standard anti fouling.” “Cara Cara”, Princess 42, Channel Islands, Ben Dandridge
“To help clarify how effective the product has been on the Windy 40, consider that with normal anti fouling on the hull and drive legs, I would expect the boat to achieve around 20 knots maximum, having been subject to the same conditions. On Truly Scrumptious we had 31 knots!” “Truly Scumptious”, Windy 40, South of France, William Parton
“I can already see there will be no need to lift Sevo on an annual basis. Instead, planning to employ a diver once a year to brush the hull clean and fit new anodes before the season starts, and then lift the boat out every 24 months for a leg and bellow service. Even barnacles that would usually lacerate finger flesh before even considering moving, were gently wiped away with a nudge of a thumb. Overall, I remain very impressed with what the AquaCote treatment offers a boat owner.” “Sevo”, Windy 37, Mediterranean, Harry Metcalf
