The next generation anti-fouling and coating Copperfree steen-hansen.com

Steen-Hansen is currently launching the next generation of impregnation products We offer 3 different alternatives for our aquaculture customers: - Copper-based products - Copper-free products - Biocide-free products Through close co-operation with Janssen PMP, we are introducing a new, organic biocide. It has a short decomposition time and is extremely effective: Econea®. We are also continuing to supply our current bestsellers, made even more effective by improved formulae. HALT-lab We have developed a unique laboratory to test product efficiency, sinking speed and resistance to...

Copper-based products Copper is a natural substance that is essential in order to ensure the normal growth of most plants and animals. Copper has also been used as an antifouling agent for hundreds of years. The well-proven properties of copper, which provide general protection against fouling and have minimal effect on the environment, have made it the first choice among antifouling biocides. The type of copper usually used to prevent fouling is copper oxide (Cu2O). It is produced from recycled pipes, cables, fridges, etc. Copper oxide works against fouling caused by both algae and...

”The new anti-fouling from Steen-Hansen got very favourable feedback from the operators. All anti-fouling seems to be ”working well at first”, and the real differences appear after many months in the sea”. Jacob Palmer Meland Managing director, Lovundlaks AS Lovundlaks on the Helgeland Coast - in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle - has used AquaNet Ultra from Steen-Hansen on its netcages since the fall of 2016. With good res

Copper-free products The range of effective substances used in the aquaculture industry stems from the much bigger market for anti-fouling in the shipping industry. However, when a substance is going to be used to protect aquaculture nets, there are added considerations to be made with regard to the proximity of food production and the safety of employees. Steen-Hansen has tested all substances permitted for marine use. In co-operation with Janssen PMP, Econea® has been identified as the best candidate: A high level of effectiveness, a long protection time, and the fact that it...

Biocide-free products Cleaning nets in the sea is an alternative to using anti-fouling substances and changing the nets. This method usually involves the use of a high pressure washer (in-situ cleaning) in order to remove fouling. Washing in this manner can lead to extra wear and tear on the nets, and it is important to protect the net fibres as best possible. A smooth, sealed surface will also reduce washing time and restrict the roots of fouling species. A good biocide-free coating must tolerate frequent washing and mechanical impact. At the same time it needs to protect the positive net...

Research and development Steen-Hansen places considerable emphasis on product development. We aim to be at the forefront and to offer fish farmers the best solutions, both in financial terms and in relation to fish welfare and the environment. This is why we use recycled copper and have introduced a recycling system for transport containers. This is why we have invested in understanding the biology of fouling species and disseminating information about clean nets. We have introduced «product stewardship» as our guideline when developing new technology. Steen-Hansen co-operates closely with...

time in seawater Product 1 Bleeding-rate for copper in seawater. Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) The EU has introduced a regulation that applies to anti-fouling products in Europe, BPR. All anti-fouling impregnation products must be approved in accordance with this regulation. This will ensure that the products are safe to use. The health risk to workers who come into contact with nets and the danger to fish and the environment must be documented. All Steen-Hansen products are carefully tested and risk-evaluated before they are released onto the market.

Steen-Hansen develops and produces specialised coatings for industry and challenging environments both on shore and at sea. The company aims to be a benchmark supplier of impregnation products for nets and other materials in the sea. We will contribute to sustainable development within our markets as a long-term and attractive partner for customers and employees. We are a privately-owned company with all our production and development activities based in Norway. Steen-Hansen is a market leader in antifouling products and coatings for aquaculture nets, with a presence in most...

Biology steers what we do. Our expertise regarding biology, causalities and species is a central element in our work of manufacturing the products needed by the aquaculture industry. Book on Fouling It started with the Book on Fouling in 2013. We have now distributed more than 25 000 copies of the book, with new orders coming in every week throughout the year, from Norway, the UK, Chile and the Mediterranean area. It is - and will remain - free of charge, with neutral information and no product details. Biological trials and investigations In co-operation with Uni Environment we have looked...
