The range stretches from copper-based products to copper-redused products and a product with noe biocide what so ever.
Aquaculture
Fouling on aquaculture nets is an international problem. And increasingly so. Steen-Hansen has been a major player in the anti-fouling business for more that 30 years. We have now developed something truly new. Through a brand new series of more effective and more environmentally friendly products.

Environment and technology development - two sides of the same coin
- We have implemented the UN sustainability goals in our strategy and identified specific actions to reach those goals.
