PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Nautix A4 Formula+ is high-performance hard matrix antifouling recommended for sailing-, fishing-, cruising, and power-boats, but also for boat dry's out between tides. The formulation of A4 Formula+ brings very high level of protection against fouling and very smooth finishing. This product is compatible with most other antifouling types of the market (in good condition). However it cannot be applied over self-polishing antifouling. PRODUCT INFORMATION 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 A4 : white A4F+ : black, blue France, navy blue, Drying / Overcoating Information! d=days h=hours min=minutes *Minimum overcoating time recommended for 1 layer (100^ wet thickness) -Please refer to Application/ Important points **Maximum immersion time : several weeks if boat is stored in good conditions , grey, light green, dark green SURFACE PREPARATION 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 only) : - 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 or self-polishing antifouling : - 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. 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. If there is any doubt on compatibility between the new antifouling paint and the existing one, apply a coat of Nautix P1.
