Coatings is a proud sponsor of skipper Steve Black's "Around the World
Alone" campaign aboard the 50' racing sloop West Marine.
Wearlon® Super F1-M was
chosen for the West Marine to provide increased speed, easy cleaning, and long
term durability.
Wearlon Super F1-M, a technological
breakthrough ...
Wearlon, a Foul-Release Coating System, is
revolutionizing the market for salt and fresh water hull coatings. Wearlon
offers all the advantages of foul-release, low energy surface coatings and
solves the durability problems of other soft systems.
Wearlon is environmentally friendly,
waterborne, low VOC (volatile organic compound), non-leaching, non-toxic,
doesn't kill or harm any marine organisms and doesn't rely on the principle of
eluting silicon oils to retain its effectiveness.
Wearlon is tough and
durable. Its unique silicone-epoxy chemistry endows the product with extremely
good adhesion and tensile strength. Wearlon adheres readily to most barrier and
primer coats. Its elastic modulus enables it to deform and resist impact
damage. Inherent lubricity improves fuel economy, reduces engine strain and increases speed.
Wearlon's foul release properties result in
low bio-fouling adhesion from Zebra mussels, quagga mussels, barnacles, tube
worms and all bacterial and algal biofilms. Foul-Release means easy
clean! Wearlon coated surfaces become self cleaning if the craft is
used regularly at reasonable speed.
