Antifouling Technology: Catalyst Coating with Active Oxygen
Catalyst Coating: The Revolution in Antifouling Boat Coatings
The problem for boat owners: conventional antifoulings use toxic biocides that severely damage the aquatic ecosystem.
A (poor) compromise: In response to regulations, biocide-free self-polishing antifoulings are often marketed as particularly eco-friendly. However, these continuously release microplastics into the water through the polishing process.
The innovative antifouling solution: EverBlue’s Catalyst Coating generates active oxygen in a catalytic process without releasing toxic chemicals. A world first!
Non-toxic antifouling: can be applied indoors without a mask
EverBlue OxyCoat antifouling is solvent-free, which is why it can also be applied indoors.
The boat coating is waterproof in about 2.5 hours and lasts up to 2 years. OxyCoat antifouling is suitable for fresh and brackish water.

Stop fouling before it starts
EverBlue works preventively:
Through the targeted use of hydrocatalysis technology, fouling is stopped before it starts—for effective protection without toxic chemicals and microplastics.
EverBlue works preventively, not by killing.
Through the targeted use of hydrocatalysis technology, the biofilm is stopped before it starts—for lasting protection and a clean ship.

The new antifouling process with active oxygen is thoroughly tested
The 2-year test phase with various boats was successfully completed.
Hydrocatalysis with the power of active oxygen is durable and leaves water at drinking quality.
EverBlue Technologies is a Berlin-based tech startup and a spin-off of the Free University of Berlin. Our product developments are based on NASA-tested AGXX technology.
