DESCRIPTION
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. The initial smooth surface provides a very good out of dock performance. To be used as finish coat in immersed environments only. It can
be applied at sub zero surface temperatures.
Where to use
Marine:
Recommended for underwater hull in newbuilding and drydocking. 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.
Approvals
Compliant with IMO Antifouling System Convention AFS/CONF/26 + IMO MEPC.331(76).
Colors
