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 use universal thinner?

    We do not recommend using universal thinners. The use of a thinner with an unknown composition may result in loss of adhesion, lack of proper flow of paint and varnish defects.

    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.

    Why does the paint have no adhesion?

    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.
