Are there independent tests that prove the effectiveness of F2 Eco?Updated 16 days ago

Yes, the effectiveness and longevity of F2 Eco have been confirmed in an independent test report by the renowned Dutch institute Endures B.V..

Who is Endures B.V.?

Endures B.V. is an independent research institute in the Netherlands specializing in marine biofouling and corrosion protection. It tested F2 Eco under realistic, long-term conditions in saltwater.

What was tested?

The study focused on the adhesion behavior, surface condition, and cleanability of F2 Eco. The goal was to evaluate the practical effectiveness of a biocide-free fouling-release system.

Key Findings from the Report

The report's findings confirm the following points:

  • Significantly reduced adhesion compared to untreated surfaces.

  • Easily removable deposits (bioslime), which often only require gentle, occasional cleaning.

  • A mechanically stable and smooth surface that maintained its characteristics throughout the test period.

What Does This Mean for You?

F2 Eco relies on surface chemistry and smoothness, not on abrasion or biocides. The test proves that F2 makes maintenance predictable and allows you to benefit from its effectiveness as a long-term system with at least five years of durability (with correct application and care).
