What is Cuprotect

The world’s best fouling control system Professional application and cost savings

Cuprotect
® is a unique fouling control system, not paint, using the metallurgical, non corroding properties of copper and copper alloys to provide unmatched bio-fouling protection, even under the most stringent conditions. Cuprotect
® comprises, in essence, an epoxy resin primer layer to provide a tough, stable base with a strong bond to the hull sub-strate. This is followed by a binder coat incorporating specially se-lected thixotropic agents to ensure optimum bonding between the primer and the fi nal, sprayed-on outer layer of granular alloy. In addition, because Cuprotect
® provides an impermeable layer between water and the hull surface it helps protect against rust, corrosion and osmosis. Because of the shape of the copper particles, Cuprotect
® is non-conductive and therefore eliminates any concern about galvanic activity.Cuprotect
® is suitable for application to every type of hull in GRP, ferro cement and steel. Many wooden and aluminium hulls may be suitable, subject to a pre-fi tting inspection and possibly increased specifi cations. Because of its complexity Cuprotect
® has to be applied by trained professional installers. This allows us to provide a written 5-year guarantee. However, when the total costs of antifouling a boat every year are calculated (Hauling out and in, travel, labour and materials), boat owners can recover their Cuprotect
® investment in 2 to 3 years - against a 5-year guarantee and the potential 10-year product life. In addition, Cuprotect
® gives better long-term fuel consumption and friction-reduced performance.
