DESCRIPTION
Tin-free self polishing antifouling
PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Designed as the antifouling system suitable for maintenance and repair dry/dockings for direct application over existing
antifoulings in good condition
• TBT-free self-polishing antifouling with good weathering properties for atmospheric resistance during vessel
construction and in-service
• Controlled polishing rate to give effective protection in accordance with the specified dry film thickness
• Complies with IMO Antifouling Systems Convention
COLOR AND GLOSS LEVEL
• Redbrown, brown
• Flat

ADDITIONAL DATA
Spreading rate and film thickness
DFT Theoretical spreading rate

Overcoating interval for DFT up to 150 µm (6.0 mils)
Overcoating with... Interval 5°C (41°F) 10°C (50°F) 20°C (68°F) 30°C (86°F)
itself Minimum 12 hours 10 hours 6 hours 4 hours
Refloating - Minimum 24 hours 12 hours 8 hours 6 hours
Notes:
- For systems with more than two layers of antifouling minimum drying time before overcoating and minimum time before refloating
should be increased
- Longer drying times may be necessary at higher DFT and under unfavorable atmospheric conditions
- The above data are a fair indication for normal application conditions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• For paint and recommended thinners see INFORMATION SHEETS 1430, 1431 and relevant Material Safety Data Sheets
• This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact
between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
WORLDWIDE AVAILABILITY
It is always the aim of PPG Protective and Marine Coatings to supply the same product on a worldwide basis. However, slight
modification of the product is sometimes necessary to comply with local or national rules/circumstances. Under these
circumstances an alternative product data sheet is used.
