Technical informations

Application method

Each surface should be washed at least twice, until the surface being painted is completely clean. The best cleaning results are achieved with properly applied cleaner using the “two-towel” method.

Apply a thin layer of cleaner to the surface.
Using the first towel, wipe the surface, absorbing all contaminants while wet (before the cleaner evaporates).
Using the second “clean” towel, wipe the entire surface dry.
If any dirt remains on the second towel, reapply cleaner and clean it with new towels.
Repeat the cleaning process until no traces of dirt remain on the towels.

Product description "Cleaner"

A cleaner is an indispensable product for degreasing surfaces preparing for painting. The cleaner is a mixture of organic solvents that allow for quick and effective cleaning of surfaces from various contaminants, including grease, oils, silicones, salts, etc. Its action involves chemically dissolving all possible contaminants. Then, we mechanically remove the chemically dissolved contaminants using a towel or cloth. The use of a cleaner helps to avoid paint defects such as fish eyes or small craters. It is hard to find marine painting jobs that would not require the use of such a cleaner.

A high-quality cleaner is characterized by an evaporation time tailored to make the best use of the applied cleaning agent.

Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

It is not recommended to apply 2K paints over 1K paints. 1K and 2K inks differ in their composition and properties, including hardness, chemical resistance and durability. 1K paints are one-component and dry by evaporating the solvent, while 2K paints are two-component and need to be cured by adding a hardener. Applying 2K paint over 1K paint can cause unpredictable chemical reactions and lead to undesirable effects such as dulling, chipping or flaking of the paint. Therefore, always use paints according to the manufacturer’s instructions and do not mix different types of paints. farby zgodnie z instrukcjami producenta i nie mieszać różnych rodzajów farb.

Possible causes

No thinning, wrong thinner or wrong amount of thinner

Use thinner which is dedicated to the type of application and paints
Use thinning proportions which was indicated by manufacturer,
Paint in right atmosphere conditions indicated by manufacturer,

How to remove

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.
