PERFORMER YACHTING Mixed matrix antifouling - For standard protective use in mixed service conditions IT ••• The printing process may render some of the colour samples imperfectly. We recommend testing the paint before committing to a colour. Nautix PERFORMER Yachting is mixed matrix multipurpose antifouling paint recommended for sailing-, motor-, and leisure fishing-boats. This antifouling is adapted to boats remaining in areas with medium-force currents, and sailing in medium fouling conditions. Nautix PERFORMER Yachting is compatible with most other antifouling types on the market (in good condition). d=days h=hours min=minutes *Minimum overcoating time recommended for 1 layer (10C^m wet thickness) - Please refer to Application/ Important points **Maximum time before immersion : 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 : P1 - HPE - PE - PO - EPOXYGARD - Wood : P1 (1st layer : mix with thinner DP 30% max) - Plywood : HPE - EPOXYGARD (+ IMPREGARD) - Steel : PA - EPOXYGARD Important : - Do not apply over aluminium hull. - Do not apply over SPC paint. - 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.

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 mixed matrix) : - 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 ablative 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 weed, algae or barnacles from settling on underwater surfaces in salt water. For amateur and professional (up to 5 litres pack sizes). Antifouling products contain biocides.

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...
