Hydrocoat SR

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Hydrocoat SR is the world's first dual-biocide, water-based, ablative bottom paint designed for multi-season protection. It features self-polishing technology that eliminates sanding and paint build-up, and it is easy to apply and clean with soap and water.
Physical Data: The paint is a water-based emulsion with a flat finish, available in blue, red, and black. It contains 40% cuprous oxide and 2% organic algaecide, with a coverage of 430 sq. ft/gal and a VOC of 150 g/l max.
Application Data: Hydrocoat SR can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray. A minimum of two coats is recommended, with an additional coat at the waterline. The application temperature should be between 50°F and 90°F. Dry times vary with temperature, with no maximum dry time before launching.
Associated Products: The document lists several associated products for surface preparation and priming, including Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep, Fiberglass Dewaxer, and various primers.
Application Information: Thorough mixing is required before use due to potential settling. The paint should not be thinned more than 10% when spraying. Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal performance, and regular maintenance is recommended to ensure effectiveness.
Systems: Hydrocoat SR can be applied to previously painted surfaces, bare fiberglass, bare wood, and steel hulls with specific preparation methods. It is not suitable for aluminum hulls and outdrives.
Environmental Considerations: The product uses Clean Core Technology to reduce environmental impact, replacing harsh solvents with water, resulting in low VOCs and no heavy solvent smell.
