  • U.N. Number: 1263 PAINT H.F.P.
Preparation: Unpainted surfaces like timber, fiberglass, or ferro-cement should be primed with NORGLASS SHIPSHAPE Primer-undercoat. New steel surfaces require NORGLASS EPOXY TAR followed by SHIPSHAPE Primer-undercoat. Ensure surfaces are dry before painting.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or short nap roller. Airless spray application is possible under controlled conditions. Thorough stirring is essential to prevent color inconsistencies.

Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation, avoid inhaling fumes, and keep away from flames. Do not use on aluminum or below 10°C. Avoid dry sanding and spraying due to toxicity. Wear protective gear.
First Aid: In case of poisoning, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed; provide water and seek medical advice. For skin contact, wash with soap and water. If in eyes, irrigate with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
Special Instructions: Anti-fouling paints depend on specific toxin release rates. Thinning or spreading too far can affect performance. Follow instructions for optimal results.
Launching Time: Launch on the next tide or within 7 days of the final coat. If more than 24 hours pass after painting, wash with fresh water before launching.

PREPARATION: Unpainted timber, fibreglass or ferro-cement should be primed with 1 or more coats of NORGLASS SHIPSHAPE Primer-undercoat. Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours then sand to a flat finish before applying anti-fouling. New steel surfaces must first be primed with NORGLASS EPOXY TAR and followed with SHIPSHAPE Primer-undercoat. Spent anti-foulings should be high pressure water cleaned and wet sanded if necessary. Remove all loose and flaking paint and spot prime bare areas as described above. The surface to be anti-fouled must be thoroughly dry before painting commences. APPLICATION:...
