The life of Coppercoat depends on a variety of factors. Water, temperature, and salinity. In Northern Europe, you should expect effective performance for at least 10 years. In the Caribbean, 8 to 10 years would be more normal. Many of the first boats treated in 1991 are still performing well after more than 20 years!
Coppercoat Commercial offers our commercial customers up to 30 years of protection.
In each treatment applied there is an average thickness of 250 microns of Coppercoat. It has a typical corrosion rate of fewer than 5 microns per. It is thus easy to appreciate how this coating offers such long-lasting and effective protection.
Coppercoat is not just about longevity. It has many other benefits. It’s ultra-low growth rates will increase fuel efficiency and boat speed. It’s low maintenance giving you more time in the water and it is the eco-responsible anti-foul of choice.
You won’t regret making the switch from your traditional antifoul which you painstakingly apply every year.
