Sea-Line antifouling

Sea-Line HARD and Sea-Line self-polishing antifouling are not intended for aluminum surfaces. They include copper oxide, which in contact with aluminum causes galvanic corrosion. Especially on aluminum, we offer ALU-PLUS self-polishing anti-fouling paint, which, in addition to excellent adhesion to aluminum, is also 30% more effective than traditional anti-fouling paints.

Possible causes

• Wrong surface preparation,
• Skipping the primer in the system application process,
• Use of universal thinners or replacements ,
• Paint incompatibility.

How to prevent

• Correct surface preparation (grinding, clearing, degreasing),
• Use primers which improve adhesion of paints,
• Use thinners which are dedicated to each paints,
• Use of paints which are compatible to each other.

How to remove

• Grind, clean and paint again.

Possible causes

• Too low temperature of ambitne,
• Incorrect proportion of base and herdener,
• Mixing two components from two different manufacturers

How to prevent

• Apply the correct proportions of components
• Maintain steady temperature (around 20ﹾC) during whole hardening process,
• Mix the products thoroughly and bleed the mixture.

How to remove

• The uncured mass requires complete removal from the surface.
