Disclaimer - Barnacle-Shield is a mesh that suppresses crustacean growth. Some areas of both StepSea and ZipRap may not be covered with this mesh and may experience crustacean growth. These areas may be plastic parts, fasteners or uncovered areas. There may also be areas where the mesh is fastened by use of adhesive or other fastening means which may cover the mesh. These covered areas may also experience crustacean growth.
HOW DOES BARNACLE-SHIELD WORK?
The unique metallurgy and configuration of Barnacle-Shields's patent pending mesh overlay creates a passive, localized electric micro-currents, when it comes in contact with salt water. These micro-currents repel crustaceans and mollusks without the use of toxic chemicals or coatings. This means you no longer have to scrape barnacles and oysters off your dock pilings and your dock stays clean and beautiful in an environmentally friendly way. This mild voltage does not affect equipment on your dock or on your watercraft.
