Technical informations

Color

Exposure of a freshly applied antifouling paint to moist air can lead to color change. The discoloration is only superficial and does not affect the effectiveness of the antifouling paint. Due to the content of copper oxide, a small color difference between the parts of the antifouling paint is acceptable.

Application method

Manually:

  • brush
  • roller

Spray:

  • airless spray

    Thinning notice:

    In the case of high temperatures and the need to thin the antifouling paint, a maximum dilution of 0-5% (by volume) is recommended.
    Dilution and the application method directly affect the thickness of the antifouling paint layer.

    Special attention should be paid to obtaining a specific coating thickness (100 μm DTF), which ensures the effective operation of the antifouling paint.

    Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

    Can I mix polyurethane paints to get a different color?

    Yes, you can mix Sea-Line polyurethane paints. The only difference are the pigments of polyurethane paints that determine the color of the paint. But remember to keep the right proportions of base, hardener and thinner.

    Can I add more hardener to speed up the reaction?

    Do not add more hardener, because after the base has cured, the remaining hardener will react with subsequent layers, which will be applied to the surface and cause defects. For the product to work properly, please follow the proportions given by the manufacturer.

    Contamination in topcoat paint?

    Possible causes

    • Inaccurate surface cleaning before paint application,
