CLEARWATER, FL (November 22, 2011) – Sea Hawk Paints, a division of New Nautical Coatings, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida, has just announced that SeaHawk’s premium Smart Solution™ antifouling coating is the first totally metal free antifouling paint in the world.

Engineered to be the most effective environmentally friendly antifouling paint available, it provides equivalent performance to traditional antifoulants, but utilizes completelyMETAL-FREE biocides resulting in no bioaccumulation in the environment. Thecoating’s reaction to water creates a slick film that encapsulates the hull, providing enhanced speed and premium performance against growth.

We have formulated a product that no other company in the world has, and we are very proud of this achievement,” he said.
