Scandinavian Marine is proud to announce its appointment as the exclusive distributor for HullWell+ marine coatings in Australia, introducing game-changing AXE Antifoul and Epoxy Paint Removers to the local marine industry.
Following successful trials on premium yachts and motor yachts, the results have been outstanding. The AXE product range eliminates the need for expensive, labour-intensive, and environmentally damaging sandblasting and soda washing — replacing these harsh methods with a revolutionary, solvent-free and chemical-free solution.
Superior Performance Without Environmental or Safety Compromise
The AXE Antifoul Paint Remover and AXE Epoxy Paint Remover are engineered to remove up to six layers of antifoul paint in a single application. Being completely solvent-free and chemical-free, waste can be safely washed down most run-offs, eliminating hazardous disposal costs and environmental concerns.
Unlike abrasive methods, AXE products protect vessel hull integrity by eliminating damage caused by scraping and sandblasting while delivering superior paint removal results. The hull surface is preserved, not compromised — reducing repair costs and extending vessel longevity.
“This partnership represents a significant milestone for Hull Well+ in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Richard Cleave, Managing Director of HullWell+ New Zealand. “Scandinavian Marine’s expertise and network position them perfectly to introduce AXE technology to Australian and regional operators who demand performance, environmental responsibility, and vessel protection.”
Significant Cost and Efficiency Advantages
Beyond environmental benefits, AXE products deliver substantial operational advantages:
- Reduced Labour Costs — Single-application efficiency minimizes man-hours and project duration
- Hull Preservation — No damage from scraping or abrasive methods; hulls remain intact and undamaged
- Safe Waste Management — Solvent-free and chemical-free formulation allows waste disposal via standard run-off systems
- Faster Turnaround — Projects complete in less time, getting vessels back in service quickly
Professional Application Network
AXE products are applied exclusively through Scandinavian Marine’s approved network of marine coating professionals, ensuring consistent, high-quality results across every project. This specialized applicator network guarantees that yacht and motor yacht owners receive expert service from certified technicians.
“We are thrilled to bring this innovation to our market,” said Kevin Wallis, Managing Director for Scandinavian Marine Supplies. “Recent trials demonstrate that AXE products deliver exceptional results while reducing project costs, labour expenses, and environmental impact — all while protecting the hull itself. This is exactly what our clients have been seeking.”
