Elastomeric membrane coating containing modern raw materials for forming a very dense, yet flexible protection. Dark Matter Technology® significantly increases the chemical resistance of the coating and its hydrophobicity. In addition, it is designed to fit perfectly for different materials.
A good example of the versatility of this coating is the ability to protect gelcoat and fiber-reinforced materials like fiber glass used in jet skis, yachts, and motor boats.
The concept of Triton is based on a very ecological approach to the adhesion of microorganisms to the hulls of vessels. Unlike the case anti-fouling paints, it does not emit toxic substances that poison lichens. Instead, the smoothness and anti-stick properties of the coating make it difficult for living organisms to stick to the fuselage. This also translates into lower resistance in contact with water, which increases speed by about 2 knots. As a result, fuel or energy consumption of electricity is lower – depending on the type of drive used.
