Antifoul Stripping for Perth customers
Decades of antifoul builds up on yacht and commercial hulls, eventually requiring full strip-back. Sandblasting damages gelcoat and risks substrate fatigue. Chemical strippers run off into the marina. Dry ice blasting strips layered antifoul down to gelcoat or original primer without abrasive scoring or hazardous run-off — making it possible to fully restore a hull’s protective system.
