Thorn-D®; non-toxic antifouling for aquaculture

Thorn-D® is a patented, non-toxic antifouling that provides a physical barrier for biofouling. By applying very specific short fibers on the surface, the surface becomes prickly and unattractive for fouling organisms to settle.

Benefits:

  • no more yearly dipping with copper antifouling
  • no more cleaning
  • less maintenance
  • less replacements
Environmental friendly
  • no use of toxics
  • no organic waste
Lasts for the lifetime of a net
  • one single application only
Labour friendly
  • easy to handle
  • no use of toxics
  • less changing of the nets
  • easy changing of the nets due to no fouling and therefore easier to lift
