raz88 96 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Anyone know anything about this? https://www.epa.govt.nz/industry-areas/hazardous-substances/rules-for-hazardous-substances/antifouling-paints/ Should we be stocking up this weekend? Or are these chemicals already phased out of the popular brands? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 633 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 yet In 2021 TBT was approved for use in antifoul? https://www.epa.govt.nz/assets/RecordsAPI/Tributyltin_chloride_HSR004733.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K4309 261 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 From that first link "You had to stop importing and manufacturing paints containing diuron, octhilinone and ziram in 2017". So I suspect these are the changes they made 6 years ago that stopped all of our regular brand AF's from working. I doubt if you purchased anything this week it would have any of these ingredients, as the actual ban on making or importing them came into effect 6 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
