FINSULATE ANTIFOULING WRAP
FOR CLEAN AND HEALTHY WATERWAYS
- Efficient antifouling without biocides
- Save time, money and the environment
- Lifetime at least 5 years
Every yacht owner has the same issue: the growth of mussels, barnacles and algae on the hull of the yacht, resulting in lower speed and higher fuel consumption. Toxic antifouling paints are used to prevent this. Yearly 100 million litres of chemicals are spilt in the oceans because these paints dissolve in the water. Finsulate is an environmentally friendly alternative that has proven to be successful for the past 6 years
About Finsulate antifouling
Conventional antifouling paints, without exception, try to prevent the on-growth of mussels, algae and other organisms through toxic substances they contain. Aside from chemical aspects and their environmental implications, such methods are not even efficient: The paints usually do not last long. And their antifouling effect is weakened whenever the ship lies still. While waters get intentionally polluted by the toxic substances leaking into it.
Finsulate® has proven that efficient antifouling can be done
much easier and cleaner!
EFFICIENT, NON-TOXIC ANTIFOULING
Due to the physical functionality of the Finsulate structure, no toxic materials are needed to prevent the on-growth of organisms. A great side-effect of this is the longer lifespan: Finsulate does not lead to a washing out of substances.
SAVE TIME, MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
With Finsulate antifouling, taking your yacht out of the water for cleaning won’t be necessary any more. Cleaning the hull can be done quickly and easily while the yacht stays in the water. And no toxic paintings will have to be brushed into the water…
LASTS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS
Meanwhile there are yachts provided with Finsulate cruising since more than 5 years. In other words: The warranty period of minimum 5 years in reality has already been exceeded.
ORDER PROCESS
Finsulate is a product which is delivered including its application. This is why the ordering process is a bit different compared to toxic antifouling paints.
First, you contact us – either directly or through one of our sales partners. We’ll then ask you a few questions about your ship: Which type, what sailing properties and the dimensions. That information allows us to selecte the right finsulate grade and estimate the costs and to plan the works.
PREPARATIONS
With Finsulate you’ll have an antifouling solution for at least 5 years. To ensure that your sailing pleasure really will last that long, we require some special preparations for the application surface: If the hull surface contains antifouling paint, that paint first has to be removed. After that, one layer of Epoxy primer must be applied. Once this is done, our team can start with the Finsulate application.
New boats or yachts usually require just minimal preparation works for the Finsulate application. We’ll be glad to advise you on these.
ANTIFOULING APPLICATION
Finsulate is applied by experienced professionals. This could be a Finsulate team or one of our contract partners. A growing number of shipyard and ship maintenance companies are trained by us and offers that service. During the order process we’ll discuss your options.
READY FOR SAILING AGAIN!
Once the Finsulate application is done, you can put your ship back into the water right away. But you could also choose to leave it on land for some time since Finsulate won’t be affected by dry storage. Which means that not only can you leave your ship in the water for at least 5 years. You can also bring it to a winter storage each year during that time.
Sailing yachts as well as motor yachts can be provided with Finsulate antifouling. Meanwhile, all over the globe yachts have Finsulate applied on their hull. After 5 years they still are happy with the performance.
