Marlin operates from its facility in Muggia, near Trieste, where it has manufactured specialized marine paints since 1982. Starting as Rosandra snc and evolving into Marlin S.r.l. in 1992, the company maintains a focus on the chemical challenges of the marine environment. Their work centers on protecting hulls and underwater gear from biofouling and corrosion using materials like epoxy resins, silicone, and water-based binders. The brand addresses maintenance needs that standard paints often overlook. Whether you are dealing with a fiberglass hull or specialized metal components like bow thrusters or propellers, the product line provides specific chemical responses to fouling. This specialization extends to surface preparation products like epoxy fillers and primers, essential for ensuring finish coats adhere correctly to the substrate. For those prioritizing reduced environmental impact, Marlin research has led to water-based antifouling and silicone-based foul-release coatings. These products prevent organism attachment through physical properties rather than biocides, offering an alternative for boaters navigating sensitive marine areas.
Marine protection through chemical specialization
Marlin delivers solutions that allow boaters to target specific maintenance issues with accuracy. The following products illustrate their focus on material science and application efficiency:
- VELOX PLUS and VELOX Super: Specialized antifouling formulations engineered for propellers and metal parts, designed to withstand the high shear stress generated by spinning blades.
- VELOX Sil: A silicone-based foul-release coating that provides a non-stick surface, preventing marine growth from anchoring to the hull without relying on toxic leaching.
- IDRON: A water-based antifouling paint formulated for those seeking an alternative to traditional solvent-based systems.
- MARLIN Grip: A dedicated anti-slip coating designed for high-traffic deck areas, prioritizing durability and surface safety.
