For over thirty years, Tecnover has been a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of airless pumps for boat painting with marine antifouling paint.
Experience, professionalism, reliability and competitive prices: these are the pillars that set Tecnover apart across the entire sector.
The MARINE M12 airless pump
The MARINE M12 model is the latest addition to our airless machines for spray painting boats.
This special, highly technological machine atomises the coating material by high pressure and lays it down onto the surface.
The MARINE M12 airless pump guarantees excellent time and cost optimisation, since:
- Large surfaces can be coated in moments
- The amount of atomised product can reach values up to double those of pneumatic spraying, reducing spraying sessions and material usage
- This technology makes it possible to apply higher-viscosity products
- Airless spray guns can reach even the most inaccessible areas: internal edges and blind spots won’t escape
- Airless spray painting is an excellent solution for coating rough surfaces that are generally difficult to paint
Tecnover airless painting pumps are built to guarantee full reliability and versatility.
The MARINE M12 airless pump for marine antifouling paints
The MARINE M12 model can be used to spray marine antifouling paints, a cutting-edge product with significant advantages:
- Marine antifouling paints prevent and reduce fouling, a phenomenon caused by animals, micro-organisms and algae attacking the hull. Antifouling paints for boats prevent growth from forming on the hull bottom
- These types of paints and coatings maximise speed and performance thanks to the minimal drag they generate
- Fuel consumption is considerably lower, since antifouling paints for boats reduce drag
What is fouling? Antifouling paints sprayed with airless pumps solve the problem
Fouling can depend on multiple factors, from water quality to basin depth, temperature and salinity levels.
Antifouling paints, coatings and products in general are designed to protect hulls, hull bottoms and boats from 4,000 different fouling species: animals, algae, mud, viscous mixtures of bacteria and other microscopic organisms. And the best way to apply them is with airless spray painting machines, which guarantee high production capacity, truly astonishing speed of execution and good coverage of recesses.
How to choose the best antifouling paint?
Every boat needs a specific antifouling paint. The choice must take several factors into account:
- Type of vessel: antifouling paint for boats varies according to the hull’s speed
- Frequency of use
- Geographical location: every body of water differs in the animal and plant species present. You will need the antifouling paint best suited to the purpose
- How often the boat is transported on a trailer
