A U.S. Navy patented solution, Sherwin-Williams Sher-Release System causes marine organisms to be released from surfaces at slow speeds and light water pressure, a solution that works with nature, not against it. It offers better adhesion, abrasion resistance and scratch resistance compared to standard silicone systems. “Not only does the Sher-Release System provide superior biofouling protection, workboats, passenger vessels and commercial ships can realize fuel savings as much as six to ten percent,” said Brad Rossetto, Vice President, Marketing, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings. The Sher-Release System is self-cleaning with constant water flow during regular use. The hull is also cleaned by water jet under normal pressure.
