VC 17m Extra - Graphite Antifouling Low Friction, Thin Film Antifouling.High Strength Formula PRODUCT DESCRIPTION VC 17m Extra is high strength hard performance antifouling with a fluoro microadditive that gives your hull a slick low friction surface for maximum speed and efficiency, making it the ideal choice for racing yachts, powerboats and active craft. * Selflevels to a smooth even finish without the need to sand * Dries fast allowing you to paint and launch in the same day * Forms only a thin film so there's minimal paint build up with time * Suitable for use (with recommended primers) on GRP, Steel and Lead surfaces PRODUCT INFORMATION Colour Specific Gravity Volume Solids Converter/Curing Agent Typical Shelf Life Unit Size DRYING/OVERCOATING INFORMATION Drying 5°C (41°F) Note: Max. Immersion Times are as follows: 535°C/4095°F 12 months OLD VC 17m Wash down with fresh water. OTHER ANTIFOULINGS Use Interstrip to remove all traces of antifouling. 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. Ensure paint is stirred regularly to avoid settlement. Once mixed, the product can be used for up to 7 days, provided it is stored with the lid on and mixed thoroughly before application. Thinner YTA600 VC General Thinner. Thinning VC 17m Extra Graphite dries very quickly small additions of VC General Thinner may be used to ease application. Cleaner YTA600 VC General Thinner. VC General Thinner can be used to remove splashes of VC 17m Extra Graphite from the topsides. Roller Apply with a 4inch/100mm short mohair or foam roller. Other True colour will develop after immersion. Take care to apply all the paint calculated even if it means applying an extra coat. It is important for performance to apply the correct thickness. 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. Care should be taken to ensure that any metal based parts of the hull are suitably primed prior to application of VC 17m Extra Graphite. Direct contact with VC 17m Extra Graphite may result in corrosion or premature failure of the antifouling. Please refer to your local representative or visit www.yachtpaint.com for
