Providing long-term, non-toxic coating solutions to protect and extend the life of your marine instruments.

BlueZone Group is proud to be the exclusive agent for ClearSignal®, the leading non-toxic biofouling control coating engineered to extend the life and performance of oceanographic platforms and instruments. ClearSignal® is a revolutionary clear coating that uses advanced material technologies to deliver exceptional resistance to biofouling through its superior non-stick properties. Unlike traditional antifouling coatings that rely on biocides and degrade over time, ClearSignal® maintains 100% effectiveness for the operational life of the instrument, ensuring consistent performance even under the harshest marine conditions.

 

Developed through a collaboration between Severn Marine Technologies, LLC of Annapolis, Maryland, and Mid Mountain Materials Inc. of Mercer Island, Washington, ClearSignal® was originally created for the offshore seismic exploration industry before being adapted for the broader oceanographic and environmental monitoring communities. It meets the growing demand for long-term, environmentally safe fouling control solutions.

 

ClearSignal® coatings can be applied directly to your instruments and underwater components at BlueZone Group workshops across Australia. This local capability enables fast turnaround for instrument coatings and allows BlueZone to offer ClearSignal® as an option alongside services such as the ADCP Verification Service. BlueZone technicians are fully trained in the specialised application of ClearSignal®, working in a controlled facility using state-of-the-art industrial processes. Each application is customised for the specific instrument, with significant consideration given to substrate material and application method. The coating formulation is also adjusted to suit particular marine environments, ensuring maximum durability and effectiveness.

 

ClearSignal® offers a range of advantages. It is non-toxic and poses no harm to marine ecosystems. It remains fully effective without any loss of performance over time. Its optically clear finish preserves the visibility of all instrument markings, identification features, and is fully compatible with optical transducers. Designed to last the lifetime of the instrument or platform, ClearSignal® significantly reduces maintenance requirements and stands up to the rigours of offshore deployments and servicing.

 

Additionally, ClearSignal® is compatible with almost all surfaces, and the application techniques developed have solved the challenges associated with non-paintable materials through unique surface preparation and chemistry.

 

By partnering with BlueZone Group, you gain exclusive access to ClearSignal®’s proven, industry-leading technology, supported by our expertise and commitment to delivering reliable solutions for marine and subsea applications.
