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

• No thinning, wrong thinner or wrong amount of thinner
• Wrong type of roll or brush (wrong bristle lenght)
• Applying too much or too Little paint,
• During painting process temperature was too high or the air was too dry,
• Incorrect preparation of too porous surface,
• Incorrect proportion of thinner.

How to prevent

• Use a brush/Toller suited to the type of surface or paint,
• 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

• Grind, clean and paint again.

Possible causes

• Incorrect proportion of base and herdener,
• Too low temperature of ambient and surface (less than 10ﹾC),
• Mixing two components from two different manufacturers,

How to prevent

• Apply the correct proportions of components
• Maintain steady temperature (around 20ﹾC) during the whole hardening process,
• Use base and hardener from the same manufacturer

How to remove

• The uncured mass requires complete removal from the surface.
