      Primers

      Preparatory systems before primers enable you to start with a surface that is consistent with the paint application. The surface must first be degreased, sanded or blasted, depending on the substrate and the process selected. It is essential to respect the cycle for optimum cohesion between coats.

      Epoxy Fillers

      Filling in scratches, levelling out deformations, redoing profiles, coatings are used to prepare the surface of your boat.
      Before applying protective or finishing paint, the filler must be applied between two coats of primer, then protected with a multi-layer coating.

      Topcoats

      Applying a topcoat is the ultimate step in painting. Our single- or two-component finishing systems will enhance your boat’s appearance and provide a lasting protective barrier against the elements (such as sun, rain, wind and abrasion).

Antifouling & Fuel consumption

"A clean, smooth hull: that's a direct saving of 4 litres per hour. I chose Nautix!"
Claude
Owner of an 8m Barracuda in the North of France

DID YOU KNOW?

A dirty hull increases the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull, which in turn increases your boat’s drag.

This results in an increase in fuel consumption of between +5 and +20% (this percentage varies according to your boat and your sailing style).

Compared to a smooth surface, the difference in hydrodynamic resistance due to friction caused by dirt (algae, biofilm, molluscs) is of the order of :

for damaged paint or biofilm
+ 0 %
in the case of a thick biofilm
+ 0 %
in the case of macro algae
+ 0 %
in the case of molluscs
> 0 %
