Re: Stus-List Bottom paint -ingredient change
Not defending the use of antibiotics in bottom paint, but nearly all antifouling is toxic to marine life (which is why it’s used as antifouling ...) Copper is nasty stuff to marine life and to people (in sufficient doses), which is why the smart sailor wears a respirator and plenty of protective clothing when sanding and painting the bottom. Trinidad Pro, until recently, had an effective (read nasty) pesticide called Irgarol that ran into trouble with the EPA. Those of us who are older may remember tin-based bottom paint that worked wonderfully, but created aquatic dead zones around your boat. Using antibiotics unnecessarily is bad (both in farming and sailing) because bacteria adapt quickly and can learn to outwit particular types, making those antibiotics ineffective. Just saying ... none us us has cleans hands in this. If you have a sailboat, you’re harming the environment to some degree. Jack Brennan Former CC 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl.

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint -ingredient change
From the link in the email that started this thread: Irgarol: The algaecide supplied by chemical giant BASF and widely relied upon by most marine paint manufacturers to control “soft growths” like slime and plant growth that has very recently been discontinued as a bottom paint ingredient. BASF seems to have caught the bottom paint industry off guard with their announcement late last year, and while manufacturers of the Irgarol dependent paint hope that in just 6-9 months it could be in production again, there is no guarantee, and certainly these companies had to act quickly to be ready for bottom paint season with an alternative. There are a number of popular antifouling paints that are being affected by BASF’s discontinuation of Irgarol. *Pettit*: ***SR-21 http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=6735 will not be available until Irgarol is re-released (available at JD.com http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=6735) http://totalboatshow.com/wordpress/2015/03/13/antifouling-companies-struggle-with-the-loss-of-herbicide-irgarol/ Ken H.
