CRX Coatings’ X21 Foul Release bottom paint is the first of its kind to be made available to the world of recreational boating, taking advantage of newly formulated graphene technology that adheres effectively to steel, aluminum, and fiberglass surfaces. The coating is resistant to temperature fluctuations, UV damage, and abrasions, while also drastically reducing friction while in the water.

While these coatings have been at a high stage of development for some time now, the formula has only recently been made available commercially to the general public. It has since been adopted by commercial shipping companies and recreational sailboat owners in many areas of the country and is now available to interested parties in the Fort Lauderdale area.

The product functions by adhering a graphene nano-mesh to the surface of the craft, applied in the form of a two-part protectant coating. This coating adheres to the hull on a molecular level, accomplishing what previous versions of this technology—many of which relied on larger, and therefore more abrasive, particles of graphene as the basis of their coatings—could not.

CRX Coatings also emphasizes that their product is free of biocides and sustainably produced in the interest of preserving the local aquatic ecosystem. Specifically, the paint does not require a sloughing mechanism—which in other products may be copper or other heavy metals—to function, reducing pollution as a result.

The CRX anti-fouling paint was created in-house based on proprietary research, during which it was subjected to extreme conditions to ensure the quality of the product. It is now capable of interrupting biofilm adhesion to ship hulls while moored, while also preventing erosion of the underlying metal, including in saltwater environments.

A spokesperson explains further, “One of the key benefits of the X21 Foul Release Coating is its long-lasting effectiveness. With just one application, you’ll enjoy protection against fouling for up to three years, saving you time and money in the long run.”

While this bottom paint option is now available to the public, CRX Coatings is still exploring the wide-ranging applications of their graphene technology. They state that the foundation of their company is innovation and that they will continue to push the boundaries of material science by formulating more advanced and durable graphene products for a wide range of industries.
