Katradis Group of Companies has been contributing to the Marine World for more than 70 years. The wide variety of its products, reliability and supreme quality combined with advanced technology, supported by an efficient network of agents and distributors strategically located at all major harbors around the world, made katradis a well-know name.

In 1983 Katradis Group of companies started supplying marine paints. The response of Greek shipowners was more than encouraging thus "forcing" the company to keep expanding the range of its products by developing high quality protective coatings known as Shark Marine Paints.

The main concideration has always been the economical and effective preparation & completion of the job. Moreover, the company is concentrating on ecological issues by producing environmental friendly products approved by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and by all the major classification societies.

SHARK ANTIFOULING is a self polishing antifouling based on specially formulated pigment with a combination of biocides. The surface of the antifouling is continiously renewed by the slowly dissolving binder. This mechanism enables an outstanding control of fouling and allows easy recoating. Suittable for vessels trading world-wide short stationary periods. Compatible with most existing self polishing systems.
