Antifouling is a paint used to prevent fouling<\/strong>, i.e. the growth of aquatic organisms on the hull.

Without antifouling, the hull can deteriorate, slow the boat, and increase fuel consumption.<\/p>\n Handy tip:<\/strong> The application of one or two coats of primer is strongly recommended, especially for aluminium boats, to insulate the copper.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre2″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It is essential to prepare the hull before applying antifouling.<\/p>\n Some guidelines to remember:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre3″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n There are several types of commercially-available antifouling product to protect the bottom of any type of hull: polyester, aluminium, steel, carbon, or wood.<\/p>\n Band of Boats has listed the various types. Please refer to:<\/p>\n \u20ac50<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The prices mentioned are for information only, to allow comparisons<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre4″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With self-polishing polymer antifoulings, the paint film wears gradually and regularly over time and has a continuously active surface (even when the boat is immobile). Almost no inert layer will remain at the next careening. This antifouling is particularly suitable for boats that do not sail much.<\/p>\n In erodible and semi-erodible antifouling, the release of active ingredients is triggered by wear of the film during movements of the boat. The inert layer thickens when the boat is still. Erodibility occurs only during sailing. The effectiveness is long-lasting.<\/p>\n With hard matrix antifouling, the thickness of the coats applied changes little throughout the season. The inert layer thickens regularly and becomes viscous. This chemical reaction slows and prevents the appearance of the oily film and the growth of algae and seashells. Many boaters use this antifouling when their boat is already several years old.<\/p>\n Now you know: antifouling is a necessary and tricky operation required for the care of your boat.

Il ne restera presque plus de couche inerte lors du car\u00e9nage suivant.

La couche inerte s\u2019\u00e9paissit r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement et devient visqueuse.

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nComment appliquer l\u2019antifouling ?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1. La coque doit \u00eatre tr\u00e8s l\u00e9g\u00e8rement ponc\u00e9e au grain fin, pour favoriser l\u2019accroche de la prochaine application puis d\u00e9graiss\u00e9e, rinc\u00e9e, bien s\u00e8che et sans poussi\u00e8re.
2. Il faut veiller \u00e0 respecter les temps de s\u00e9chage en fonction de la temp\u00e9rature indiqu\u00e9e par le fabricant avant la mise \u00e0 l\u2019eau.
3. Il est d\u00e9conseill\u00e9 d\u2019effectuer l\u2019antifouling trop t\u00f4t avant la mise \u00e0 l\u2019eau car la peinture au contact de l\u2019air s\u2019oxyde plus vite. Elle perd ses qualit\u00e9s m\u00e9caniques (ne pas d\u00e9passer 3 mois maximum).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
