Hard matrix fluorescent antifouling The printing process may render some of the colour samples imperfectly. We recommend testing the paint before committing to a colour. Nautix A9 T.SPEED™ is fluorescent hard matrix antifouling especially recommended for keel and rudder of regatta-boats. This antifouling has been selected by the most prestigious racing boats and skippers worldwide. This fluorescent paint is very helpful for coastguard to localize capsized boats. Some yacht class rules impose it to competitors. It helps for keel and rudder inspection during races (plastic bags, ropes, nets...). Formulation is optimized to resist to friction wear due to fishing ropes, cavitation. d=days h=hours min=minutes *Minimum overcoating time recommended for 1 layer (10C^m wet thickness) -Please refer to Application/ Important points **Maximum immersion time : several weeks if boat is stored in good conditions 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 : U2 - HPE - PE - PO - EPOXYGARD - Plywood : U2 - HPE - EPOXYGARD (+ IMPREGARD) - Carbon already protected : U2 Ultimate layer of primer should be coated with white coating (PE/U2) to get smooth finishing & good opacity. Recommended system : protective primer + PE/U2 (1 coat) + A4T.Speed white (2 coats) + A9T.Speed (2 coats minimum). 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.

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. • 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.
