But why give antifouling in the traditional way if I can get away with special wrapping? That’s what engineers at Uniflow Marine wondered: the French company has launched a series of adhesive and antifouling films. The advantages, in theory, are many: compared with paint, whose effects fade over time, self-adhesive film is more effective, causes less friction and does not pollute.
The Silikon Pro-glide Antifouling model features three layers: the silicone one, followed then by a polymer layer and a special marine adhesive. Finally, an easily detachable layer of paper protection. Performance will be assured by the constant and regular silicone layer, which in combination with the special adhesive is also an excellent natural antifouling. The film is transparent, so you can keep the color of the original fairing. www.uniflow-marine.com
