In both fresh and saltwater environments biofouling creates inefficiencies in speed & drag, increases costs for fuel & maintenance, and can lead - [FoulX Attributes](https://foulx.oceanitlabs.wpenginepowered.com/home-2/foulx-attributes/) - FoulX releases biofouling & prevents corrosion FoulX can be applied to a wide range of surfaces exposed to marine conditions. It creates an extremely low surface energy & roughness which releases biofouling from the treated surface. FoulX does not have multiple formulas like many fouling-release systems do (primers, paints, and epoxies), but instead is a - [Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Testing](https://foulx.oceanitlabs.wpenginepowered.com/home-2/hydrophobic-testing/) - [How FoulX Works](https://foulx.oceanitlabs.wpenginepowered.com/home-2/how-foulx-works/) - [FoulX Features](https://foulx.oceanitlabs.wpenginepowered.com/home-2/foulx-features/) - FoulX is a water-based, non-VOC, and non-toxic nanotechnology that creates an ultra-slick, omniphobic (water- & oil-repelling) surface which repels biofouling. FoulX bottom coating prevents corrosion on treated surfaces. It is chemically-resistant and low-maintenance while having strong surface adhesion. FoulX creates an extremely low-friction, hydrophobic surface which, when combined with anti-fouling properties, significantly reduces drag.
