SEA Hawk - Smart Solution
Copper-Free • Metal Free – 4700 Series
ECONEA™, a metal-free antifouling agent, protects boat hulls without accumulating in the marine environment. Compared to metal-based antifouling products, ECONEA™ offers clear advantages:
- Effective at low usage levels
ECONEA™ provides exceptional antifouling protection at low usage levels. It's more effective than copper-based paints containing cuprous thiocyanate, and just as effective as those containing cuprous oxide.
- Better for the environment
ECONEA™ degrades rapidly and its degradation products are biodegradable. As a result, it is a better option for the marine environment.
- Long-lasting protection
The release rate of ECONEA™ from an antifouling paint can be tuned easily, thereby providing a consistent and long-lasting antifouling protection.
- Better color selection
Unlike some metal-based antifouling agents, ECONEA™ can be used to easily formulate light and bright paints, resulting in brilliant colors with better consistency.
- Better color stability
ECONEA™ does not cause discoloration in the presence of sulfides, as do metal-based paints.
- Ideal for all types of boat hulls
Because it is a metal-free compound, ECONEA™ will not cause galvanic corrosion on aluminum hulls. This eliminates the trouble and expense of thick barrier coats.
- Extended service life
ECONEA™-based paints can extend the time between re-painting. The need for in-water hull cleanings may also be eliminated.
- Enables weight reduction
ECONEA™-based paints add less weight to a boat when applied at the same film thickness as metal-containing paints.
