Raffaello is a top grade, high performance anti-fouling with a hydrophilic matrix, with a high content of copper compounds, as well as an addition of pure carbon particles, which provide both excellent anti-fouling protection and drag reduction in all conditions. Effective in warm and temperate seawater, brackish and fresh water. Raffaello is self-polishing with progressive solubility and therefore suitable for medium-speed motor boats as well as for sailboats. The thickness of this anti-fouling is reduced progressively during service, avoiding an excessive increase of the anti-fouling layer also after the application of several coats. Only the white Raffaello is suitable for aluminium boats.
