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

Possible causes

Too short time for evaporation of the thinner,

How to prevent

Maintain the right conditions for complete evaporation of the thinner,

How to remove

Mat the surface, degrease and apply the paint according to the rule (right conditions and thinning proportions)
Polish surface if needed.

We recommend to always sand the surface between applying two different products to ensure uniform surface roughness and adhesion of subsequent layers. The sanded surface should also be cleaned and degreased.

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.
