ANTIFOULINg Vinyl FILM
Antifouling vinyl film
The eco-friendly, biocide-free, drag-reducing silicone antifouling wrap film is factory guaranteed for five years.
​
Unique Yacht Wrapping is an official installer of the revolutionary MacGlide Fouling Release Vinyl Film. The eco-friendly, biocide free, guaranteed for 5 years alternative to conventional antifouling paint. It is cleaner, increases speed, creates less drag and reduces fuel consumption by up to 7%
​
MacGlide film has excellent fouling-repelling properties, so it protects your hull from colonisation by marine organisms without using biocides. It means you are helping to protect marine life as well as your yacht when you choose MacGlide instead of paint. You are also safeguarding human health in shipyards, by avoiding any exposure to toxic biocides. Your yacht can go further and faster with MacGlide, helping you to enjoy your time at sea more than ever before.
​
Over 150,000 tons of antifouling paints are used across Europe each year and every square metre of applied paint contains around 15g of biocide – That’s capable of contaminating 150,000 m3 of water. These paints cause significant damage to the marine environment. Not only that, antifouling paint needs repainting every year.
​
The good news is that helping the environment also improves protection for your yacht – with less maintenance and lower overall costs. High-performance MacGlide adhesive film is good for your yacht, and for the ocean and is a cost-effective solution versus traditional methods.
