YACHTCARE Antifouling self-polishing 2.5L Dark Blue, boat paint, copper compounds bioactive, compatible with most systems

CHARACTERISTICS Article number 140.045

YC ANTIFOULING ECO is a self-polishing antifouling containing copper compounds and bioactive organic ingredients. Thanks to its self-renewing effect, the coating retains a bioactive surface throughout its lifetime. YC ANTIFOULING ECO is compatible with most antifouling systems.

AREA OF OPERATION

As an antifouling for boats made of GRP, wood, and steel. Not suitable for use on aluminum substrates. Suitable for use in fresh, salt, and brackish waters.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Packaging: 750 ml + 2.5 L container
Color: black, red, dark blue
Specific gravity: 1.4 g/ml
Volume solids: 57% (depending on color)
Flash point: 30 °C
Theoretical coverage: approx. 12.7 m²/L – 45 μm DFT

PROCESSING

The surface must be clean, dry, and free of grease. Apply only in dry weather. The surface temperature must be above the dew point to avoid condensation. The paint temperature should be above 15°C. Avoid direct sunlight during application. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

PREVIOUS COAT:

Depending on the substrate, you can apply a single-component chlorinated rubber paint or a two-component epoxy primer.

NOTE:

Before painting over existing hard antifouling substrates, they should be cleaned and lightly sanded to remove the leached, porous surface. Other self-eroding antifouling substrates can be recoated directly, provided they are clean, free of grease, and dry. Teflon-based antifoulings cannot be painted over and must be sanded first. Do not dilute excessively to ensure a sufficient dry film thickness.

DRYING TIMES (brush application):

The boat can be launched as soon as the paint is dry, but no later than one month later. If this period is exceeded, the paint must be thoroughly washed off and, if necessary, lightly sanded to activate the surface.

• Caution: Use antifouling products carefully! Always read the label and product information before use!
