itBoatProtect
the problem
The tractional resistance increases due to the growth of soft and hard fouling. The consequences are increased energy consumption and, under certain circumstances, loss of maneuverability. This growth has so far been slowed down or prevented by applying a biocide or metal-containing coating. The following quantities are processed in Germany or end up in river, sea or brackish water.

our goal
The protection of our domestic waters from poisoning with biocides, metals and environmentally hazardous substances as well as reducing the dumping of microplastics
The solution
itBoatProtect
The entry of copper and zinc as well as biocides into the environment is reduced to zero! In addition, the amount of coating materials is reduced to 1/5 to 1/10 per year! This not only dramatically reduces the release of microplastics into the water, but also avoids 50-90% solvent emissions. itBoatProtect does not contain any environmentally hazardous substances and is therefore a real environmentally friendly alternative!
why itBoatProtect?
Transparent, thin-layer & abrasion-resistant coating system
Easy-to-clean effect thanks to the pore-tight surface = easy cleaning of soft and hard fouling
No release of environmentally hazardous substances
Very economical! 1.0 liters itBoatProtect are sufficient for a 9 meter sports boat

➠ It couldn't be easier or faster! That saves time and money!
Underground
The application is carried out on a 2-component epoxy coating such asit EpoxyProtect TW (solvent-free with raw materials approved for drinking water coatings), or an existing 2-component epoxy, e.g. VC TAR. Existing antifouling coatings must be removed.
