Sea Hawk antifouling reduces drag and
saves fuel. Treat your hull to a coating of
Biocop TF – the first non-tin based antifouling
to outperform old tin-based paints. New
biocide technology and state of the art
release mechanism makes Biocop TF a top
performer among all antifouling paints.
“An effective antifouling paint can produce
fuel savings of at least 15% due to
reduced drag compared to an untreated hull.”
These findings are from a Navy case study
conducted by the TTCP Materials Technology and
Processes Group. For more information on this study,
visit http://www.dtic.mil/ttcp/casmat2.htm
Open a gallon of Sea Hawk to conserve on every gallon of fuel.
Save thousands with a freshly painted bottom coating of Sea Hawk!
