Hydrocoat® Water-Based Antifouling TECHNICAL BULLETIN 124 9/08 Simply the best water-based ablative antifouling coating available Offers exceptional protection against all types of fouling Easy to apply, environmentally friendly and safer to use Ablative finish reduces coating buildup and the need for sanding Contains drag reducing PTFE and is easily burnished for maximum hull speed Hydrocoat is the most advanced water-based, ablative antifouling available. It offers exceptional multi-season protection against all types of fouling. Hydrocoat’s innovative technology replaces the harsh solvents found in most bottom paints with water, resulting in an easier application and clean up, with no heavy solvent smell. Hydrocoat’s ablative surface wears away with use, exposing fresh biocides while eliminating paint build up and the need for sanding. The low-odor formula is so environmentally friendly, it exceeds even the most stringent air pollution regulations. Hydrocoat withstands frequent trailering, beaching, and launching. Its unique formula allows unlimited dry time to launch, so you can paint in the fall or winter. 1240 Blue PHYSICAL DATA VEHICLE TYPE: Water-Based Emulsion FINISH: Flat COLORS: 1240 Blue 1340 Green 1640 Red 1840 Black COMPONENTS: 1 CURING MECHANISM: Solvent Release SOLIDS (theoretical): By weight...73 +/- 2% By volume...40 +/- 2% COVERAGE: 430 sq. ft/gal.
