Overview

What is Umiguard FN35 Fish Net Antifouling Agent?

Umiguard FN35 is a fish net antifouling agent used in aquaculture net coatings that greatly reduces biofouling on fish nets. Nets treated with this product effectively inhibit the attachment of algae, slime organisms, bryozoans, hydroids, and mussels. When compounded with cuprous oxide, the nets can achieve six months or more of cleaning-free service.
