Micron 350 is a premium self-polishing copolymer (SPC) antifouling paint designed to provide effective protection against marine organisms, slime, and both plant and animal fouling. Suitable for use in seawater, freshwater, and brackish water, it offers up to 2 years of protection regardless of fouling conditions. The self-polishing technology ensures consistent performance, even during periods when the boat remains stationary. Additionally, the continuous polishing system prevents the accumulation of layers over time, minimizing drag and maintaining optimal biocidal action. Micron 350 can be applied up to 12 months before launching.

Materials:
Micron 350 is formulated with a blend of biocides, resins, and solvents to deliver effective antifouling performance. Specific chemical compositions are proprietary and not disclosed.
Compatibility Information:
- Compatible Substrates: Suitable for use on cast iron, GRP/FRP, lead, steel, and wood surfaces.
- Incompatible Substrates: Not suitable for application on aluminium, light alloys, or galvanized surfaces.
- Primer Recommendations:
- Bare GRP: Prime with Gelshield 200 for osmosis protection, or Primocon or Interprotect.
- Steel/Iron/Lead/Wood: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
Application Guidelines:
- Preparation:
- Previously Coated Surfaces:
- In Good Condition: Remove all surface dirt and contamination, including the inert layer. Perform a high-pressure wash with freshwater (3000 psi/207 bar) and/or scraping and wet sanding using abrasive paper grade P80-120. Do not sand dry. If the old antifouling is incompatible or unknown, isolate it with International Primocon.
- In Poor Condition: Remove all traces of old antifouling using Interstrip.
- Bare Substrates: Surface preparation details are provided on the technical data sheets of the relevant primers.
- Mixing: Before use, mix the product thoroughly until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.
- Dilution: Dilution is only necessary to facilitate application (e.g., in cold weather) or to avoid skin formation (e.g., in hot or windy weather). In these circumstances, it is possible to add up to 10% of Thinner No.3. Ensure that the total dry thickness is correct, as it is essential for optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Use YTA085 Thinner for International Antifouling #3.
Safety Information:
Micron 350 is classified as a hazardous product. Observe all safety precautions during handling and application. Use biocidal products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
