ABC3 Facts and Benefits

Provides hull smoothing / polishing benefits

releases cuprous oxide in a controlled, engineered manner via the hydrolysis of the superficial antifouling layer in seawater in combination with the polishing action caused by the motion of the vessel through the water. The outer layer continually wears away exposing fresh layers of antifouling.

Reduced Costs

Competitively priced with TBT-copolymer antifoulings, offers continued savings and performance benefits. The controlled polishing action creates a smoother surface, reducing drag for increased efficiency and reduced fuel costs. provides exceptional service life up to 5 years without unreasonable DFT (dry film thickness) requirements necessitating application of numerous coats of antifouling. As a result, drydocking and repainting costs are reduced. also eliminates the existing and anticipated special removal and disposal costs for organotin contaminated water, paint and grit.

The advantages:

Compatible with most existing antifoulings, provides superior long-term antifouling protection in both static and dynamic conditions.

addresses the service requirements of today's economic and regulatory environment.

Shipowners and Shipyards can maintain the advantages claimed by tributyltin copolymers while simultaneously avoiding the environmental hazards associated with organotin compounds.
