Do I really get no more fouling with F2?Updated 16 days ago
No, no system can guarantee a 100% fouling-free surface. However, F2 offers an extremely effective and durable protection that reduces fouling adhesion to a minimum and significantly simplifies maintenance.
What You Can Expect:
Barely any hard fouling: Hard fouling like barnacles, coral worms, or mussels will barely adhere with F2, as the extremely smooth and water-repellent surface makes solid attachment nearly impossible.
Cleaning without great effort: Surface fouling, especially bioslime, can be easily wiped away with a cloth or soft sponge. Tedious scraping or annual repainting is no longer necessary.
Protection against structural damage: The F2 surface cannot be penetrated by organisms like barnacles or coral worms. The coating remains intact, even if the boat is not cleaned for a long time.
Natural self-cleaning effect: Part of the light fouling is removed even during normal cruising. This effect is further enhanced at speeds of around 10 knots and above – depending on the hull shape, cruising time, and local conditions.
The effectiveness of F2 was also confirmed in the independent test report by the Endures B.V. Institute. It was proven that F2 reduces hard fouling to a minimum and that light deposits can be easily removed with gentle cleaning.
