More than a paint
job, antifouling is the treatment for a boat’s hull to prevent its being
biofouled by marine life—barnacles, mussels, algae, slime, and
seaweed—attaching to the surface. The process requires preparation work before
the application of the paint. The paint selection will need to comply with
environmental requirements, while at the same time addressing the specific
biofouling conditions in your area.
