Sailing faster, cleaner and greener with MacGlide fouling release film.

What is Macglide?

Each year in Europe, boat owners use nearly 150,000 tonnes of anti-fouling paint containing biocides. Every square metre of anti-fouling paint contains around 15 grams of biocide, capable of polluting 150,000 cubic metres of water. So, it’s easy to appreciate the impact on marine life when you consider that a 30ft yacht has something like 25 square metres of immersed hull.

Sail responsibly with MacGlide fouling protection and release foil. Preserve marine life and cut costs.

Thanks to its non-stick properties, MacGlide fouling protection and release foil prevents the colonization of marine micro-organisms on your hull in the same way as anti-fouling paint, however without spreading toxic substances into the water. MacGlide is an innovative solution against fouling that lets you sail responsibly in cleaner waters while saving money at the same time.
