Antifouling

⚓ Types of Antifouling Paint

Trusted brands for lasting protection below the waterline.

Choosing the right antifouling paint is essential to keep your hull clean, efficient, and free from marine growth. At Yachtmail Chandlery, we stock a wide range of antifouling products from leading brands including Hempel, Seajet, International, and Flag — with options to suit every boat type, usage, and mooring environment.

Whether you're racing, cruising, or storing your boat on a swinging mooring or marina berth, we have the right solution to keep fouling at bay.

🧪 Main Types of Antifouling:

✅ Self-Polishing (Eroding) Antifouling

Ideal for most sailboats and displacement hulls, self-polishing antifoul wears away gradually with water movement, exposing fresh biocide over time.

Top Picks:

  • Seajet 033 Shogun

  • Hempel Mille

  • International Cruiser Uno

  • Flag Cruising Antifouling

✅ Hard Antifouling

Tougher surface that doesn't wear away as quickly — suitable for high-speed motorboats or boats that are scrubbed regularly.

Top Picks:

  • International Interspeed Ultra 2

  • Hempel Hard Racing

  • Seajet 034 Emperor

✅ Copper-Free & Aluminium-Safe Antifouling

Designed for use on aluminium hulls, outdrives, or areas where copper-based paints aren't suitable.

  • Hempel Aluxtra

  • Seajet PellerClean (for props & stern gear)
