ADMIRAL 933 is a self-polishing antifouling which has been formulated according to a brand new technology using special boosting copolymers and biocides which provide a good solubility of the film. It is tin free and cuprous oxide based and can be applied on wood, steel and fibreglass hulls. Not recommended for use on aluminium hulls except for the white colour .001.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean the surface with fresh water. After sanding, apply two coats of Antifouling ADMIRAL 933 on a suitable primer, the same product or a similar antifouling, provided that the film is properly attached and not damaged. It is recommended, when the previous applied antifouling is unknown, to first apply one coat of Anticorrosiva CR, as a sealer, before proceeding with the new antifouling.
CONDITIONS DURING THE APPLICATION
To avoid the formation of condensation, the temperature of the surface should be at least 37,4 F (3°C) above dew point. During the application and curing the min.
ambient temperature must not be lower than 50 F (10°C) or higher than 86 F (30°C); substrate temperature must not be lower than 41 F (5°C), Since curing is remarkably reduced at lower temperatures. Application is not advisable when relative humidity exceeds 80%. The term-hygrometric survey should be carried out near the surface to be coated. Make sure there is enough ventilation when the application takes place in closed areas.
SAFETY RULES
In order to protect personal health it is advisable to comply with the EU DPR 303 and
547 regulations. Avoid, for example any contact of the product with the skin and eyes.
In case of contamination or with oral contact, immediately contact a doctor.
