Sea-Nine™

Marine antifoulant to control plant and aninal growth on ship hulls. Traditional organotin antifoulants are acutely and chronically toxic, bioaccumulate, decrease reproductive viability, and increase the shell thickness of shellfish. The Sea-Nine antifoulant (4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4isothiazolin-3-one) degrades rapidly (one day in seawater and one hour in sediment) and has essentially zero bioaccumulation. Sea-Nine is also acutely toxic to marine organisms, abut shows no chronic toxicity.
