ANTIFOULING VELOX PLUS 500 cc. WHITE

Function and technical context

Velox Plus antifouling is a marine protective coating specifically formulated for application on boat hulls, shafts, propellers and submerged surfaces exposed to the aquatic environment. It acts as an active biocide barrier that inhibits the adhesion and development of fouling organisms such as barnacles, algae, mussels and other biofouling, preventing the progressive deterioration of the surface and increasing the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull. An antifouling coating in good condition is essential to maintain cruising speed, reduce fuel consumption and prolong the useful life of submerged surfaces; Its absence or deterioration causes an accumulation of organisms that can seriously compromise the performance and maneuverability of the boat. The 500 cc format. in white makes this product a practical solution both for maintenance reviews and for preparing for the navigation season.

When to apply or renew this product?

Renewal of the antifouling must be carried out at least once a year, coinciding with the seasonal beaching and before launching. It is advisable to clean and sand the previous layer to guarantee the correct adhesion and effectiveness of the new coating. Symptoms that indicate that the antifouling layer is exhausted or deteriorated include the visible appearance of biological fouling on the bottom of the hull during the season, a notable loss of speed with the same engine speed, increased fuel consumption or vibrations in the shaft caused by an accumulation of organisms in the propeller. Preventatively applying Velox Plus before each season is the most efficient way to avoid costly dry cleaning, specialized sandblasting treatments or structural damage to the hull fiber or steel from moisture and piercing organisms.
