Brunel Coatings Launches EnviroMarine

Brunel Coatings has launched a suite of zero-pollution marine coatings designed to replace conventional antifouling systems, which release thousands of kilograms of microplastics and toxic biocides into the ocean each year. The company’s products provide a sustainable alternative that delivers superior durability, performance, and long-term cost savings for operators.

Their flagship product, EnviroMarine, represents a generational leap in hull protection technology. It is a DNV-certified, biocide-free, and erosion-free coating that eliminates the need for traditional antifouling paints and the pollutants they release. Engineered for permanence, EnviroMarine forms an ultra-hard, glass-like film with a surface roughness under 2 µm, delivering unmatched drag reduction and long-term hull cleanliness without releasing a single particle or pollutant into the water. Its unique surface chemistry maintains a clean hull for years and reduces fuel consumption even in the most demanding marine conditions.

EnviroMarine has demonstrated service lives exceeding 10 years in continuous operation, outlasting every other coating system on the market and maintaining hull performance across a full range of operating profiles, from tropical waters to ice-breaking routes. It is also the only coating approved by DNV for application on the world’s first 10-year dry dock interval vessel, a milestone that confirms its unmatched durability, adhesion, and environmental performance in real-world fleet conditions.

The complete Brunel Coatings system also includes EnviroPrime, a rust-tolerant, blast-free primer that simplifies surface preparation; CaviCure, a cavitation repair and protection coating for high-energy zones; and EnviroGrip, an ultra-durable non-slip deck system for safety-critical areas. Together, these products form a full-surface protective coating suite engineered for extended service intervals and environmental compliance.

“Our mission is to eliminate marine pollution at the source,” said Ben McCormack, Owner of Brunel Coatings. “By removing biocides and pollutants from coatings and reducing drag that drives excess fuel use, we help protect the oceans and the ecosystems that depend on them. The result is not only cleaner operations but also measurable savings for owners and operators, with less maintenance, lower fuel use, and fewer dry dock days over a vessel’s life. Each day in dry dock can cost a vessel tens of thousands of dollars in lost operation and service fees, so reducing these events has a major financial impact. We have seen vessels remain in service for more than fifteen years without a single reapplication, which proves that sustainability and durability can truly work together.”

Brunel Coatings’ Zero-Pollution Marine Coating System is available now for shipyards and operators seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional antifouling and protective coatings, helping fleets reduce both operating costs and environmental impact.
