In 1992 the Swedish inventor Mr. Kjell K. Alm discovered a completely poison free method to prevent hard Marine bio fouling from settling upon submersed surfaces.

The method is based on the application of synthetic micro fibres that are electro statically charged and then sprayed onto a surface coated with a layer of special solvent free based epoxy adhesives. Once sprayed the fibres sit up right in the adhesive and have a look and feel similar to velvet.

They prevent hard fouling from settling in much the same way as a Seal's fur protects itself. No biocides or other poisons are used. Understandably Mr. Alm called his method 'SealCoat!'

In 1993 Mr. Alm patented his SealCoat method and started carrying out tests to further develop the product and method of application. In 1998 the tests were completed and resulted in not only an enhanced poison free antifouling coating but also other coatings were developed that could be combined with the SealCoat AF antifouling coating and designed as long lasting corrosion protection coatings.

From 1998 Mr. Alm had already begun to build a global network under the banner of SealCoat. Today the SealCoat companies operate in 20 countries all around the world.

By 2003 SealCoat companies will be operating in all strategic marine markets. The ban on the most poisonous antifouling paints in 2003 together with the continuing pressure to completely rid the world of all poisonous antifouling paints will assist SealCoat in realising its vision.

"To provide environmentally friendly coating solutions and contribute to the global efforts that make our world healthier and more humane"'
