Ultrasonic Bottom Paint
Introducing the industries most advanced ultrasonic antifouling system available to retail consumers. Hull Shield systems are engineered with the same ultrasonic anti-fouling technology used by the US Coast Guard, Navy, and commercial shipping vessels.
The Hull Shield system is a “must have” for every boat owner who keeps a vessel at dock or marina. Hull Shield systems are cost-effective digital power units that control and prevent biofouling from attaching to your hull and stern gear. Less haul-outs saves valuable time and money. Think of Hull Shied as the most effective and permanent bottom paint solution you will ever purchase.
Fully automatic protection for your hull and stern gear sized to your needs. We have engineered four versatile anti-fouling systems which can be used as stand-alone units or combined for enhanced protection on larger vessels. Our single units can complement boats up to 48′. Systems can be combined to increase coverage and protection for vessels up to 200′ in length.
The Hull Shield HS50 produces up to 50 Watts of ultrasonic acoustic power. It is a two transducer unit engineered as a stand-alone system for vessels up to 32′.
The Hull Shield HS75 produces up to 75 Watts of ultrasonic acoustic power. It is a three transducer unit engineered as a stand-alone system for vessels up to 40′.
The Hull Shield HS100 produces up to 100 Watts of ultrasonic acoustic power. It is a four transducer unit engineered as a stand-alone system for vessels up to 48′.
The Drive Shield DS50 produces up to 50 Watts of ultrasonic acoustic power and can be installed to protect up to two I/O drives, a single stern drive system, or bow thrusters.
The Drive Shield DS100 produces up to 100 Watts of ultrasonic acoustic power and can be installed to protect up to a twin prop stern drive system, as well as I/O and bow thrusters.
Hull Shield Ultrasonic Systems work continuously to target and prevent bio-fouling from developing on your boat.
Reduce your anti-fouling costs, enjoy less haul-outs, and save time with a Hull Shield Ultrasonic cleaning system installed.
Hull fouling cripples the performance of your boat. Increase your speed and fuel economy with a cleaner hull bottom.
Maintaining a clean hull dramatically increases performance, speed, and overall fuel efficiency. Hull Shield Ultrasonic anti-fouling ensures you’re boat is running at peak performance.
Hull Shield systems are effective at preventing and slowing most marine fouling.
A cleaner hull reduces drag, improves fuel efficiency, and increases top-end speed.
Spend less money and time with fewer haul outs, less bottom paint, and other antifouling activities.
Installation is easy and generally does not require any special tools.
Use less toxic bottom paint with fewer applications while reducing pollution with better fuel efficiency.
Boats with automated antifouling hardware preinstalled increases resale value.
Hull Shield ultrasonic systems work by emitting pulses of low power signals. These signals are transmitted directly to the hull through transducers attached within the bilge. Antifouling transducers are similar to the transducers you already have installed for sonar & depth finding equipment. In fact, ultrasonic antifouling was first discovered by the US Navy when it was observed that no fouling occurred within a distance of sonar domes found on submarine and ship hulls.
Since that discovery, specific frequencies have been determined to disrupt the growth of marine fouling. For example, barnacle attachment is deterred by frequencies between 20KHz – 25KHz, while the cellular structure and reproductive cycle of algae is disrupted with frequencies between 40KHz – 60KHz.
The Hull Shied system works by created pulses targeting specific frequency bands to effectively reduce and stop marine fouling from attaching to your hull bottom.
