Tomorrow’s antifouling technogoy – prohibiting growth on ship and boat hulls.
Selektope introduces for the first time ever a pharmacological mode of action to combat barnacle settlement. By temporarily stimulating the octopamine receptor in the barnacle larvae, causing their legs to start kicking, the organisms are repelled from the hull.
These groundbreaking discoveries enable unrivalled power at minute concentrations, yet within the limits of the most rigorous risk assessment bodies in the industry.
Selektope is an organic, non-metal compound with efficacy proven at 0.1% w/w.
