Product description
This is a one component state of the art chemically hydrolysing silyl acrylate antifouling coating. It provides
excellent fouling protection and incomparable hull performance. This is achieved through highly predictable and
stable self polishing characteristics reducing hull deterioration, friction and speed loss. To be used as finish coat
in immersed environments only. Suitable on approved primers and tie coats on aluminum and carbon steel
substrates. It can be applied at sub zero surface temperatures.
Typical use
Marine:
Recommended for under water hull in newbuilding and dry docking. Specially designed as a premium solution
for vessels with low activity and slow steaming. Recommended solution for areas with high fouling exposure,
such as sea chest, to minimise risk of invasive species. This product provides optimum hull protection in fouling
intensive waters or in trades with long lay-ups. The product is designed for long service periods and can be used
up to 90 months as a part of a complete coating system.
Protective:
Recommended for offshore constructions and immersed areas on static installations.
Typical trade
Designed for global and especially coastal trade. Recommended for exposure to both sea and fresh water during
newbuilding outfitting.
Antifouling.
