Key Takeaways:
- X21 Foul Release Coating uses graphene to prevent biofouling without harmful chemicals
- Its durable, self-cleaning design reduces maintenance and boosts fuel efficiency
Biofouling, or marine growth, is every boater’s silent nemesis. It creeps across hulls, reducing performance, increasing fuel consumption, and driving up costs. Left unchecked, it can even spread invasive species, threatening delicate marine ecosystems.
The industry has long relied on antifouling coatings to keep vessels clean. But these traditional solutions often come with a heavy environmental cost, leaching toxic chemicals like copper into the water. Tightened regulations and growing awareness of these impacts have led to a search for cleaner, smarter alternatives.
Enter CRX Coatings with their X21 Foul Release Coating—a breakthrough solution for both marine and freshwater vessels. This biocide-free, graphene-based coating represents the next generation of antifouling technology.
The magic lies in graphene. Unlike traditional coatings that release chemicals to kill marine organisms, X21 creates a smooth, low-friction surface that marine life simply can’t latch onto. This “self-cleaning” effect means that as the boat moves, water flow naturally clears away any potential buildup.
Graphene is also tough—resistant to corrosion and built to last. That durability means fewer reapplications, saving boaters time, money, and waste. It also enhances hydrodynamics, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency—a win for boaters and the planet.
A spokesperson from CRX Coatings sums it up:
"Graphene in bottom paints aligns perfectly with circular economy principles. As the industry shifts away from toxic antifouling methods, CRX Coatings is leading the charge with products that are better for boaters and the environment."
Whether you own a small recreational boat or manage a fleet of commercial vessels, CRX Coatings has you covered. The X21 Foul Release Coating is available in quart, gallon, and five-gallon kits to suit projects of any size.
