Product catalog summary
Product Description: VC 17m Extra is a high-strength, hard performance antifouling paint with a fluoro microadditive, providing a slick, low-friction surface for maximum speed and efficiency. It is ideal for racing yachts, powerboats, and active craft. The paint self-levels to a smooth finish without sanding, dries quickly for same-day painting and launching, and forms a thin film to minimize paint buildup over time. It is suitable for GRP, Steel, and Lead surfaces with recommended primers.
Product Information: The product is available in Graphite color with a matt finish. It has a specific gravity of 1.11 and volume solids of 11%. The typical shelf life is 2 years, and it is available in 750 ml and 2.0 Lt units.
Drying/Overcoating Information: Drying times vary with temperature, with immersion times ranging from 20 to 30 minutes and touch dry times from 5 to 15 minutes. Maximum immersion time is 12 months across temperatures. Overcoating times are similar, with a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes.
Application and Use: Preparation involves washing old VC 17m with fresh water, using Interstrip for other antifoulings, and cleaning bare GRP with VC General Thinner. Steel and Lead should be primed with VC Tar2. Apply 2-3 coats per season, with 3 coats recommended for high fouling conditions. Mixing involves shaking the base and stirring in powder, with the product usable for up to 7 days if stored properly. Application is by roller, and the true color develops after immersion.
Important Points: Ensure correct paint application using coverage as a guide. Product and ambient temperatures should be between 5°C and 35°C. Substrate temperature should be above dew point. Metal parts should be primed to prevent corrosion. Apply in well-ventilated areas.
Compatibility/Substrates: Suitable for GRP, Steel, Wood, and Lead surfaces, but not for Aluminium/Alloy substrates. Recommended number of coats is 2-3, with a theoretical coverage of 11 m²/lt. Application is by roller only.
Transportation, Storage, and Safety Information: Store between 5°C and 35°C, avoiding air exposure and temperature extremes. Keep out of direct sunlight. During transportation, containers should be securely closed. Contains biocides; only wet sand antifoulings. Disposal should be arranged with authorities, and paints should harden before disposal.
Important Notes: The information provided is not exhaustive. Users should ensure product suitability for their intended purpose and are responsible for its performance. The information is subject to change based on experience and product development.

BARE GRP Use VC General Thinner to clean and fully degrease the surface. Lightly sand with 240 grade paper. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Use VC Tar2 to prime and protect against osmosis. STEEL Prime with VC Tar2 to prevent corrosion. LEAD Prime with VC Tar2. Apply 23 coats on the area to be coated per season. In very high fouling conditions, the more paint applied, the better the performance. 3 full coats are recommended for optimal performance when applying direct to VC Tar 2 Primer. Mixing Shake base well prior to stirring in powder. Pour the powder (stored under the plastic hat) into the can. Stir or shake thoroughly. The can is large enough to allow easy stirring.

It is important for performance to ensure that uniform film is achieved and the recommended number of coats are applied. Some Important Points To prevent premature failure, ensure the correct amount of paint is applied using the coverage as a guide. Product temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 1°C above dew point and maximum 35°C.
