Non-copper Antifouling

In all the tests that Practical Sailor has done on bottom paints, I haven’t seen any testing/comments about Ceram-Kote products (www.ceram-kote.com). Their latest formulation contains Econea biocide and should do well as an antifouling as well as being a very hard barrier coating. I’m using the pre-Econea version and have had it power brushed twice a month since December 2008, and it is a durable finish. With the inclusion of Econea in the new formula, the cleaning cycle should be reduced appreciably.

Thanks for the info. We’ll be sure to include it in our next round of bottom paint tests.
