Does anyone have information or views on antifoulings compatible with aluminium? Since tri butyl tin (TBT) was banned internationally we have used a US non-metallic product manufactured in Falmouth, Mass, by E Paints, with great success. This product SN-1, is used by the US Coast Guard on their aluminium craft and we have found it to have excellent antifouling properties in the Caribbean and the east coast of the USA and Canada (warm and cold waters).

One problem is that this product is not available outside the USA and, contemplating a move to European waters in 2013 we are already wondering what effective products are available in Europe?
