How Marine SilkHow Marine Silk™™ works…. works…. • Marine silk™ when applied provides a textured surface not unlike

that of the skins of sharks and dolphins .This results in reduced “drag” through the water thereby allowing greater speed and reduced fuel consumption.

• Marine Silk™ will inhibit the growth of Barnacle and Algae and other marine organisms on a short term basis by preventing “anchoring” of such organisms on to the hull.

• Marine Silk™ will make the removal of of such organisms easier for boats left in the water for periods up to 1 month .

• Marine Silk™ should be applied to a clean dry hull where it will form a highly impervious water repellent film.

•

• Marine Silk™ is proudly developed in Australia .
