Jotun Antifoul

Jotun Antifoul Paint Types

Self-polishing antifouls

The top layer of paint dissolves at a predictable rate revealing fresh layers of biocide in contact with the water (the boat needs to be used to wash away the depleted layer). Ideal for cruisers and sailing boats but will wear away too quickly if the boat goes more than 30 knots, is moored in silty conditions or is used very frequently.

Mare Nostrum – A good quality antifoul suitable for most craft, comes in 2.5 litre tins. Use NonStop for faster sail boats and cruisers or if you find a normal antifouling dosn’t last the season.

Aqualine Spray – Comes in a convenient spray. Suitable for out drives, flaps, shafts and outboard motors. Also useful for a small dinghy which is left in the water all of the time.

Hard antifouling paint

The binder is insoluble so the performance of the product decreases progressively throughout the season. It is resistant to abrasion and is suitable for speed boats and racing yachts. It may be polished to give a smooth surface.

Racing Antifouling – For speedboats and racing yachts that need to polish the hull. Also good for moorings that have a high silt level or that dry out.
