Preparation

SURFACE ALREADY COATED WITH ANTIFOULING PAINT

In good condition:

Any dirt or surface contamination must be carefully removed, as well as the inert layer.

Perform a high-pressure wash with fresh water (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 AF.

PRIMER: Surface preparation of bare substrates is indicated on the technical data sheets of the relevant primers.

BARE POLYESTER: Apply Gelshield 200 as a primer for protection against osmosis, or Primocon.

STEEL/CAST IRON/LEAD/WOOD: Use Interprotect or Primocon as a primer coat. Tips

Mixing:

Before use, mix the product thoroughly until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.

Dilution:

Dilution is not recommended.

The performance of the antifouling may be compromised if the required dry thickness is not applied.

Cleaner:

YTA085 Thinner for International Antifouling No. 3.

Compatibility/Substrates
