2 The Marine Silk story
- Leaving boats moored for long stints in water
presents its own unique problems. Algae and
Barnacle growth. - Resale values of boats up to 5.48 meters can be
affected if fully anti fouled. - Long term residents of a tidal river system
approached Australian Inhibitor to come up with a
solution to treat boats for short durations in
water. - Australian Inhibitor with its vast chemical and
engineering resources conducted both laboratory
and sea trials of a range of formulas. -
- After 159 separate sea trials a workable product
was formed that not only protected the hull from
algae and barnacles however also provided
significant increases in boat speed and fuel
savings - Further results can found within our technical
data on the accompanying pages .
3How Marine Silk works.
- Marine silk when applied provides a textured
surface not unlike that of the skins of sharks
and dolphins .This results in reduced drag
through the water thereby allowing greater speed
and reduced fuel consumption. - Marine Silk will inhibit the growth of Barnacle
and Algae and other marine organisms on a short
term basis by preventing anchoring of such
organisms on to the hull. - Marine Silk will make the removal of of such
organisms easier for boats left in the water for
periods up to 1 month . - Marine Silk should be applied to a clean dry
hull where it will form a highly impervious water
repellent film. -
- Marine Silk is proudly developed in Australia .
