Key Features and

Benefits

 Free from heavy metals

Excellent long term efficacy
Stable in all major types of marine coating
systems
Global registrations including BPD notification
and support
Global environmental acceptance and
compatibility
Highly effective antifouling agent against
bacterial slime, algae, barnacles, tubeworms,
hydroids, bryozoa, and tunicates

Key Environmental
Characteristics
Rapid degradation of the antifouling agent in
the environment
Rapid environmental partitioning, resulting in a
limited bioavailability to non-target organisms
Acceptable risk to non-target organism at
concentrations presents in the environment
Minimal bioaccumulation of toxicologically
significant compounds

 Non-hazardous environmental concentrations

at recommended use levels
