Self-polishing antifouling paint formulated according to a new technology that uses specific copolymers and biocides that allow a controlled solubility of the film. It is tin-free and copper oxide-based, it can be applied on wooden, steel, fibreglass hulls.
It complies with the IMO (AFS/CONF/26) antifouling requirements and contains active substances according to the BPR Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 528/2012).
Only white color is suitable for light alloy hulls.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces with old antifouling
Good condition: remove contaminants and any vegetation through high pressure wash with fresh water.
Sanding with 120-180 grit paper. If the old antifouling is unknown or of a different nature apply a coat of an insulator like Mistral Fondo.
Bad conditions: remove contaminants, possibly vegetation and non-adherent material through high pressure wash with fresh water. Sanding with 80-120 grit paper or with a slight sandblasting, paying attention not to damage the paint system underneath the old antifouling. Apply coat of DEFENDER or MISTRAL FONDO primer onto the entire treated area before proceeding with the antifouling application.
New surfaces or brought to new
Fiberglass: Degrease the surface to be treated with solvent or with a suitable detergent. Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease. All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free ofcontaminants. Sandpaper with abrasive paper no. P180 - P220 and apply the primer onto the treated surface. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
Steel: Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease (in case washing with the specific solvent). All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Perform a sandblasting treatment of grade Sa 2½ or, after consultation with our technicians, mechanical cleaning degree St 3.
Overcoat with the proper primer the treated metal before oxidizing principles are present.
Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
New wood: The moisture content of the support must not exceed 18%. All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Sandpaper with paper no. P80 - P120. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
Lead: Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease (in case washing with the specific solvent). All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Waxing with large grain disks (mechanical cleaning) the surface layer of metal must be completely and uniformly renewed, removing any oxidation residue and coated with the primer provided on the same day of preparation. Be careful not to exceed the incision. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
