Antifoul Removal and Application

ICS Group specializes in comprehensive marine antifoul removal and re-application services, ensuring your vessels maintain peak performance and protection. Antifoul coatings are essential for preventing the accumulation of marine growth, such as barnacles and algae, which can negatively impact a vessel’s efficiency, speed, and fuel consumption. Our advanced removal techniques and high-quality re-application processes are tailored to the specific needs of every vessel, from recreational boats to commercial ships.

Using methods such as abrasive blasting, vapor blasting, and UHP (Ultra High-Pressure) water jetting, we safely and efficiently remove old antifoul coatings, including failed systems such as flaking or deteriorating paint, preparing the surface for the next steps. After removal, we blast and fair the surface, ensuring it is smooth and properly profiled. We then apply a protective epoxy coating to safeguard the substrate, followed by the application of a new high-performance antifoul coating for optimal biofouling resistance and long-lasting durability.

​

Our antifoul coatings are specifically chosen to suit the vessel’s operating environment, providing long-term protection while reducing maintenance requirements. These coatings are applied using airless spray systems, ensuring a uniform and durable finish that meets the highest industry standards.

​

Whether your vessel requires the removal of a failed antifoul system, surface fairing, epoxy protection, or the application of a new antifouling coating, ICS Group delivers reliable and efficient solutions. We also offer mobile services across all Western Australian rural areas and the Perth metro region, ensuring convenience and accessibility for our clients.
