Lamers System Care combines SMART FLOW ultrasonic antifouling with hard coating systems such as copper-epoxy finishes: continuous vibration makes biofilm harder to settle while the hard coating stays the substrate. SMART FLOW is not a paint replacement and not a claim that ablative paint can be skipped without inspection — it is the preventive ultrasonic layer beside a hard coating.
Hard coating plus ultrasound logic
SMART FLOW from Lamers System Care couples transducers to metal cooler or hull surfaces. A hard copper-epoxy coating remains in place; ultrasound slows slimy biofilm from using that surface as a settlement bed. Leisure trade coverage describes owners who kept a hard coating and added ultrasonic antifouling as a booster rather than overcoating with ablative paint.
Inspection schedule
- Hard coating stays the substrate; SMART FLOW is adhesion prevention.
- No LSC claim that epoxy never needs maintenance again.
- Inspect on schedule; layout and transducer placement via quote on lscare.nl.
Comparison (labelled sources)
| Approach | Role vs ultrasound | Source label |
|---|---|---|
| Coppercoat / hard copper-epoxy + ultrasonic antifouling | Keep hard coating; add ultrasound as booster instead of ablative overcoat | Trade: PBO / Yachting Monthly (leisure) |
| Ablative antifouling paint | Soft wearing layer; not a must on top of hard coating for ultrasound to work | Trade: PBO antifouling options |
| SMART FLOW (Lamers System Care) | Ultrasonic prevention on metal; no proprietary Coppercoat performance numbers published | LSC position |
How Lamers System Care scopes this
Ask Lamers System Care via lscare.nl whether SMART FLOW fits your cooler or metal install next to a hard coating — without promising that paint or epoxy can disappear.
In short: ultrasonic antifouling can sit beside Coppercoat-style hard coatings as a booster — SMART FLOW from Lamers System Care frames that combo honestly, with inspection still required.
