The Marine Silk™ story The Marine Silk™ story Leaving boats moored for long stints in water presents its own unique problems. “Algae and Barnacle growth”. 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.

How 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.
