improved performance
The ultra-smooth surface cuts drag and boosts speed.
Biocide antifoulings are outdated.
❌ Annual repaints cost time & money:
Sanding, painting, disposal – every year more yard time instead of time on the water.
❌ Harmful to the ocean and to people:
An average leisure boat releases up to 2 kg of biocides into the water every year (!).
❌ Declining effectiveness:
Stricter regulations reduce active ingredients – coatings last shorter and perform worse.
❌ More drag, more fuel:
Layer upon layer makes the hull rougher – slowing the boat down, increasing fuel consumption, and reducing performance.

It's time for a real alternative.
✅ F2 provides long-lasting protection (5+ years):
With proper appliction and care, the biocide-free hull coating protects over the long term – with no annual repainting or sanding required.
✅ F2 is 100% eco-friendly:
Free from biocides, PFAS (including PTFE) – as well as solvents or other toxins.
✅ F2 is future-proof:
Thanks to its eco-friendly technology, F2 complies with the strictest regulations in the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and many inland waters.
✅ F2 makes your boat faster:
The ultra-smooth, water-repellent surface reduces drag – delivering noticeable efficiency for both motor and sailing yachts.

Inspired by the power of nature.
At the heart of F2 lies Zeronic™ – a nature-inspired additive based on inorganic resins. This additive forms an ultra-smooth, exceptionally hard, and hydrophobic surface where fouling simply cannot take hold.
Problem
Solution
In practice, this means:
✅ Effortless cleaning:
Superficial fouling can be wiped off easily with a cloth or soft sponge. No tedious scraping or annual repainting required.
✅ Protection against structural damage:
Barnacles, coral worms, and similar organisms cannot penetrate the F2 surface. Even if the boat is left uncleaned for a long time, the coating remains intact.
✅ Natural self-cleaning effect:
Even at normal cruising speeds, light fouling is partially shed. From about 10 knots, this effect increases further – depending on hull shape, running time, and local conditions.

From the very beginning, I was honestly impressed by its effect on fouling. Some slime had built up, but it brushed off from the dock within seconds – leaving the propellers looking like new.
To be honest, I was amazed: the boat had been on its mooring for six months, and I found only a very thin film of slime and a few small crustaceans on the surface of the F2 ECO. With clean, soapy water and a soft brush, I removed the slime film and the small crustaceans in about 10 minutes—a fantastic result with minimal effort!

FAQ

How does F2 work?
F2 creates an ultra-smooth, superhydrophobic surface with Zeronic™ technology, making it hard for fouling to adhere and easy to clean – all without biocides.
On which boats and metals can F2 be used?
F2 EcoHull is suitable for fiberglass, carbon, aluminum, steel, and wood. F2 EcoProp works on propellers, saildrives, shafts, trim tabs, and bow thrusters.
How much F2 do I need for my boat?

For which waters is F2 suitable?
F2 can be used in salt, brackish, and fresh water. There are no regulatory restrictions – it is a 100% environmentally friendly coating. Approved for use in the Netherlands, Denmark, Lake Constance, and Sweden.
How long does a coating with F2 last?
With proper application and care, the F2 coating lasts for 5+ years. After 5 years, a fresh Top Coat layer can simply be applied – no complete rebuild is required.
Do I need to remove my old antifouling?
As a rule, we recommend completely removing the old antifouling to ensure optimal adhesion. However, if the existing coating is still smooth and sound, it is sufficient to sand and clean the surface thoroughly. It is essential that the hull is completely dry and free from moisture.
Is F2 really eco-friendly?
Yes – F2 is 100% free from biocides, PFAS/PTFE, and VOCs, protecting waters, the environment, and your crew.
