Selektope® is an innovative antifouling agent developed by I-Tech AB, designed to enhance marine coating systems by preventing barnacle growth on ship hulls. This sustainable biocide employs a unique biotechnology that repels barnacle larvae through a reversible stimulation process, ensuring a clean hull without harming marine life. By reducing barnacle fouling, Selektope® significantly lowers frictional resistance, which translates into reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Selektope® is compatible with various paints, allowing global marine paint manufacturers to formulate high-performance antifouling systems. The product is approved by EU biocidal legislation and similar authorities in key markets, including Japan and China. With its selective action and effectiveness at ultra-low concentrations, Selektope® facilitates formulations that minimize biocide leakage into the marine environment while improving operational efficiency for shipowners and operators.

In addition, I-Tech AB provides valuable resources, including a knowledge hub and insights into the latest industry trends, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable shipping solutions.
