Vitacide-the only proven anti-microbal on the market for over 30 years.
The future in Marine applacations is here today.
Our Germ Free product line stops and kills Norovirus.
Purpose of this website is to increase sales and introduce ways that reduce costs and improve efficiency in all marine applactions using Vitacide.
You might ask, what do germs have to do with nautical shipping & freight? Actually, quite a lot!
For example, barnacles are the bane of every fleet operator. According to Science News, barnacles on a large ship can add 10 tons of weight overall. Plus, consider the additional fuel costs required to overcome the drag that they cause.
The U.S. shipping industry spends more than $36 billion each year in added fuel costs to overcome the drag induced by clinging marine life, plus the cost of treating the ship hulls with fouling paint.
But as every fleet operator knows, fouling paint does NOT always do an effective job.
A Better Solution for Marine Bottoms is VITACIDE
Vitacide Z-71 is a spray-on microbiostatic agent used for material preservation. It forms a durable coating that inhibits the growth of algae. And of course, without algae present, barnacles have nothing to eat - so they limit attaching to the hull.
One gallon of Vitacide can cover 4000 Sq Ft. The product lasts up to one year when applied with an electrostatic sprayer. Compare our costs with your current solution, or nay other anti-microbal on the market. And definitely compare the savings in time and fuel that our product can bring to your fleet.
