High Copper Antifouling

Product Function

A high strength copper based eroding antifouling providing full protection in moderate to high fouling areas, particularly where a build up of weed and slime is a problem. Made from the finest available materials and using the most up to date copolymer technology to produce a controlled erosion and steady release of the copper. End of season maintenance will be minimal due to the eroding nature of the product leading to a lack of a build up of successive coats as with the traditional hard antifoulings.

Performance and Limitations

Stir well before use. Do not use directly on aluminium, zinc or galvanized substrates. Use antifouling primer where necessary. Will discolour if used over tar or bitumen based primers, but the performance will not be affected.

Application

Brush, Roller, Airmix or conventional spray. Two coats.

General Composition

Cuprous oxide, organic and inorganic resins, non-hazardous pigments and extenders. Aromatic hydrocarbon solvent containing Trimethyl benzine.
