Magellan has developed environmentally friendly anti-fouling additives that have demonstrated efficacy in controlling hard and soft fouling when used in marine paints for boat hulls and in latex coatings for aquaculture systems. Test panels after 12 months immersion in Florida and India remained free of fouling. This safe, economical technology combines several phytochemicals that are found in the human diet. The phytochemical formula has also been successfully combined with cuprous oxide thereby enabling a reduction in the environmentally harmful levels of biocides leached from existing marine paints. This is achieved by integrating our environmentally friendly formula with existing methods in phases to progressively reduce the environmental impact of anti-fouling agents, such as leached copper. Our goal is to reach a 100% green alternative. We meet a need, which is becoming a worldwide demand, for the availability of non-toxic marine paint anti-fouling agents for pleasure craft. We are developing time-release formulas for long-term ship hull applications and the treatment of ship ballast before discharge.
