Environmentally Friendly. Smooth. High Performance.
Available now at Fortified Oceanic – Sydney’s Marine Coatings Specialist.

Product Overview

Pettit Hydrocoat® represents the new generation of high-performance, water-based antifouling systems. Designed to provide long-lasting protection while being safer for both users and the environment, Hydrocoat delivers the durability and strength of a hard antifoul with the polishing benefits of a self-eroding system.

Formulated with PTFE (Teflon®) technology, Hydrocoat creates an ultra-slick surface that improves vessel speed and fuel efficiency while keeping the hull cleaner for longer. Its self-polishing action continuously exposes fresh biocide, maintaining consistent protection without the heavy paint build-up typical of hard antifoulings.

Hydrocoat’s low odour, low VOC formulation makes it ideal for use in workshops, boatyards, and marinas where environmental compliance and comfort are priorities. Clean-up is easy — just use soap and water.

Key Features

• Harder self-polishing finish suitable for powerboats, yachts, and trailer boats.
