Styrene free and styrene reduced products

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 viscosity and spraying technique,
• Failure to maintain proper evaporation time and thickness of layers,
• Incorrect spraying pressure,
• Too low temperature of varnish, surface or space ,
• Wrong thinner or hardener.

How to prevent

• Apply the right type of application method indicated by manufacturer,
• Use working spray guns,
• Both the object and material must have room temperature of 20ﹾC,
• Apply correct proportion of base and hardener.

How to remove

• Grinding and polishing,
• Grinding and painting,

Possible causes

• Too thin layer of antifouling paint,
• Choosing the wrong antifouling to type of a boat or yacht
• Thinning of antifouling paint,
• Incorrect surface preparation before antifouling application.

How to prevent

• Apply the right layer thickness of paint indicated by manufacturer,
• Choose antifouling dedicated to type of boat or yacht and suitable for the type of water,
• Do not thin antifouling because of the risk of reducing effectiveness,
• Careful surface preparations (grinding, clearing, degreasing),

How to remove
