Can I use anti-oxidant marine paint to inhibit marine growth?
VEMCO receivers that are intended for long duration underwater deployments are made of materials that are resistant to adhesion of common underwater growth (barnacles, fungus, etc). If you choose to apply an antifouling coating to the receiver we suggest using ablative antifouling paint. These paints wear off over time. We recommend INTERLUX, MICRON CSC paint applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Although VEMCO has not noted any significant degradation in performance of receivers with these coatings applied, results may vary.
