ECONEA® is also the first copper-free antifouling agent for marine paints. An organic agent based on tralopyril, ECONEA® is 10X more active than copper. ECONEA® is approved by the EU BPR and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for marine antifouling applications. When used in combination with Zinc Pyrion™ antimicrobial, ECONEA®-based paints demonstrate a broad spectrum of activity.
Lower Treat Rate - ECONEA® is 10X more effective than copper, and can be used at a much lower treat rate in paint formulations to reduce cost
Low Leach Rate - ECONEA® is chemically and physically stable, and has low leachability and water solubility for longer dry-docking intervals
Excellent Color Retention - ECONEA®-based paints can be made in a broader range of colors
Smoother Paint - ECONEA®-based paints can be made smoother than copper-based paints
Marine & Yacht Antifouling Paint
Marine antifouling paints significantly improve a vessel's fuel efficiency and sustainability. A fouled hull can increase fuel consumption by up to 40% and potentially harm aquatic ecosystems by introducing invasive marine species. Lower greenhouse gases and protect biodiversity with ECONEA®-based marine antifouling paint.
Aquaculture Netting
Fish farming requires clean and oxygen-rich water for healthy-growing fish. ECONEA®-based antifouling coatings prevent blockages from forming on the nets for active water exchange. ECONEA® also prevents the spread of fish parasites and pathogens, such as sea lice which like to stick to fish netting and spread disease. Nets impregnated with an antifouling coating can also be used longer, reducing costs and maintenance.
