WHY HULL PRO?
DEBUNKING MYTHS ABOUT BIOCIDES & ECO-FRIENDLY COATINGS
Traditional bottom paints are often loaded with harmful biocides, which can cause environmental damage.
Hull Pro provides an eco-friendly alternative that is safer for marine life and still delivers high-performance results. Let's break down some common myths and facts about biocides and eco-friendly coatings.
MYTH |
FACT |
|---|---|
Biocides in bottom paints are safe an don’t harm marine life. |
Biocides are toxic to marine life and disrupt ecosystems. Biocides in bottom paints are designed to prevent growth but leach into the water, harming fish, plants, and other marine organisms. These chemicals can disrupt reproduction and biodiversity. Hull Pro, however, is biocide-free, making it a safer, more eco-friendly alternative for your vessel and the marine environment. |
Biocides are necessary to maintain hull protection in saltwater. |
Biocides are not necessary for effective hull protection in saltwater. Without biocides, growth will appear on Hull Pro-coated vessels and will need to be maintained and cleaned. We think a little elbow grease isn’t so bad when you’re thinking long-term about the environment. Hull Pro uses non-toxic, biocide-free ingredients that create a durable, smooth surface that is easy to clean. The coating still provides exceptional protection without the environmental risks associated with bottom paints. |
Bottom paints are a more efficient solution for boat performance than Hull Pro. |
Hull Pro’s long-term protection and fuel savings benefit the environment. Hull Pro is permanent and doesn’t require recoating every 1-2 seasons. Its formulation improves vessel speed and reduces fuel consumption, leading to up to 17% fuel savings. This reduction in fuel use translates to lower emissions and a smaller environmental footprint. By making boats more efficient, Hull Pro offers both performance benefits and environmental protection, unlike bottom paints, which can increase drag and fuel use due to their rough surfaces. |
ECO-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE
Save fuel. Save the environment.
Hull Pro isn’t just better for the environment — it also offers real, measurable performance benefits that save you money. Hull Pro’s slick, non-porous ceramicized epoxy reduces drag on your hull, leading to up to 10% increased speed and up to 17% fuel savings. By running at lower RPMs, your engine works less hard, which leads to fewer emissions and greater fuel efficiency. The result? More time on the water, with less environmental impact.
- UP TO 17% FUEL SAVINGS & 10% INCREASE IN SPEED
Hull Pro’s smooth surface minimizes drag, which leads to reduced fuel consumption. This means fewer emissions and lower fuel costs for you, all while helping your vessel achieve higher speeds with less effort. - LOWER ENGINE RPMS & REDUCED EMISSIONS
Hull Pro reduces the load on your engine, allowing it to operate at lower RPMs for the same speed. This reduces both fuel consumption and harmful emissions, making each trip on the water more sustainable. - LESS MAINTENANCE, LESS WASTE
Unlike traditional bottom paints that require annual recoating, Hull Pro is a one-time application. This reduces waste, the use of harmful chemicals, and the frequency of maintenance, all of which have a positive environmental impact.
