DNA SURFACE CONCEPTS

DNA Surface Concepts showcases the impressive results of their Armus Hull Pro self-leveling antifouling coating on the high-performance Axopar 37 Brabus. This case study highlights the ease of application, performance benefits, and simplified maintenance of Hull Pro for a luxurious boating experience.

EFFORTLESS APPLICATION, STUNNING RESULTS

DNA Surface Concept's team delivered a seamless application of Hull Pro on the Axopar 37 Brabus Edition. The coating's self-leveling technology ensures a flawless, mirror-like shine and a uniform finish across the entire hull below the waterline. This not only enhances the boat's aesthetics but also lays the foundation for superior performance.

Check out DNA’s pro application below. On the left, you can see how Hull Pro lays out directly over gelcoat with a roller. As Hull Pro cures and self-levels, DNA’s team went over Hull Pro with foam tipping brushes, and you can see the high gloss mirror finish in the photo on the right.

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE

The Axopar 37 Brabus Edition, originally hailing from the Connecticut area, is a prominent vessel within Axopar's testing program. We are eagerly awaiting follow-up data to analyze the impact of Hull Pro on the boat's speed and fuel efficiency. Early indications suggest a significant reduction in drag due to the coating's smooth surface, potentially leading to increased speed and improved fuel economy.

SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE FOR LASTING PROTECTION

Maintaining a Hull Pro-coated hull is remarkably straightforward. While growth rates depend on the specific body of water, our customers have reported diving for cleaning every 2 to 4 weeks. The key is to proactively remove fouling before it becomes a problem. For any stubborn marine growth, simply pull the vessel and opt for power washing or an acid bath. It's crucial to avoid sharp metal scrapers, as they can damage the coating. By following these simple guidelines, boat owners can experience the long-lasting protection and superior performance that Hull Pro delivers.
