High performance - Self-polishing m A3 Formula+ ANTIFOULING ^ ^ A3 : A3F+: The printing process may render some of the colour samples imperfectly. We recommend testing the paint before committing to a colour. Nautix A3 Formula+ is high-performance self-polishing antifouling recommended for sailing-, fishing-, cruising, and motor-boats with 30 knots maximum speed. Its formulation brings very high level of protection against fouling and very smooth finishing. Nautix A3 Formula+ antifouling is particularly recommended for boats remaining in water all the yearlong, even in areas with medium current. This product prevents the accumulation of layers on the hull each season to make it easier yearly antifouling application. Nautix A3 Formula+ is compatible with most other antifouling types of the market (in good condition). d=days h=hours min=minutes *Minimum overcoating time recommended for 1 layer (110^ wet thickness) -Please refer to Application/ Important points **Maximum immersion time : several weeks if boat is stored in good conditions Finish Coverage Flash point Unit size Typical shelf life Thinner/Cleaner Matt 10m2/L per layer (roller/brush) 21°C < FP < 55°C 0,75L - 2,5L - 20L 3 years Nautix DA A3 : white A3F+ : black, blue France, navy blue, red, grey, light green, dark green Important information Surface preparation is very important step to get long-efficiency antifouling. Choose the right primer (1 coat for adhesion - 3-5 coats for protection) : - Polyester : P1 - HPE - PE - PO - EPOXYGARD - Wood : P1 (1st layer : mix with thinner DP 30% max) - Plywood : HPE - EPOXYGARD (+ IMPREGARD) - Steel : PA - EPOXYGARD Important : - This antifouling cannot be applied over aluminium hull. - Do not overcoat with hard matrix antifouling. If there is any doubt on compatibility between the new antifouling paint and the existing one, apply a coat of Nautix P1. New hull • The surface should be degreased with Nautix SD and free of all contaminants (oil, grease, salt etc). • Rinse with fresh water and let dry. • Wet-sanding with P120 grade paper to improve adhesion of primer. • Ensure the substrate to be dried, degreased, and free of dust. • Apply adapted primer. Previously antifouled surface Check the substrate : Before overcoating, remove all loosely adhering and flaking paint, feather back all edges. You can grit with brush in different areas to test adhesion of current antifouling. • Protected surface in good condition (hard matrix or self-polishing) : - Clean the entire hull with controlled high pressure washing or brush. - Sand surface with wet P80-120 paper grade. - Rinse with fresh water and let dry. • Surface in poor condition : - Remove all traces of antifouling by abrasion, sweep blasting or using Nautix STRIPPER. - Degrease with Nautix SD. - Sand primer with wet P80-120 paper grade. - Rinse with fresh water and let dry. - Seal eventually with suitable Nautix primer. • Only use as an antifouling product to prevent the growth of micro and macro organisms like week, algae or barnacles from settling on underwater surfaces in salt and fresh water. For amateur (up to 2.5Litres) and professional (up to 20 litres). Antifouling contains biocides. Use antifouling products with care. • Work in well-ventilated area, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, glasses and eye/face protection. Unprotected person must be kept away from treatment area. Dispose of protective gloves and equipment after use.

A3 Formula+ ANTIFOULING High performance – Self-polishing Application methods : Airless, Airmix spray, brush, roller. Apply between 10 and 30°C (ideally inside with hygrometry rate no greater than 85%). Do not apply when there is a chance of condensation forming on the substrate (Dew-Point) : substrate, ambient air and product temperatures must be close. Avoid applying in adverse weather conditions : strong wind, strong sunlight, high/low temperatures, high humidity or rain. Important : Antifouling efficiency depends directly on applied film thickness. Apply the whole recommended quantity...
