Marine bio-fouling causes many problems for the aquaculture industry. Colonisation of infrastructure by marine life can cause asset degradation, leading to costly maintenance and/or replacement. Bio-fouling can also impact on the health of the stock as fouling organisms can reduce flow of water through nets, remove vital nutrients from the water and reduce the amount of oxygen available.

One method of controlling bio-fouling is through the use of anti-fouling coatings. The coatings available to aquaculture are often adapted from other commercial uses and have decreased levels of biocides to make them suitable for use with aquaculture species. This means they do not last long and need to be re-applied at least every 12-months. Re-coating is expensive, time consuming and requires proper disposal of waste products.

Ecosea produce a range of protective coatings for the marine industry. Offering epoxy and urethane coatings to protect against corrosion and/or fouling, our products are effective, competitive and long lasting. Significant testing, computer based modeling, in house analysis, long term field trials and external research organisations are employed to investigate and confirm the efficacy and benefits of our products before an Ecosea coating is launched and available for commercial use.
