Actually the paint cos sell these anti-fouling products as rigid formulae which, in fact they can be tailor made per vessel. Given the amount of liters (thousands) the paint flows for each dry docking, the paint company can easily give a perfect tailor made solution to the ship owner based on the parameters mentioned above.
