Hydrocoat

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Hydrocoat is a water-based ablative antifouling coating designed to offer exceptional protection against various types of fouling. It is easy to apply, environmentally friendly, and safer to use. The ablative finish reduces coating buildup and eliminates the need for sanding. It contains PTFE for drag reduction and can be burnished for maximum hull speed.
Physical Data: The coating is a water-based emulsion with a flat finish, available in blue, green, red, and black. It consists of one component and cures through solvent release. Theoretical solids are 73% by weight and 40% by volume, with a coverage of 430 sq. ft/gal. The VOC content is 150 g/l max, and it contains 40.43% cuprous oxide. The product has no flash point.
Application Data: Hydrocoat can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray. A minimum of two coats is recommended, with an additional coat at the waterline. The dry film thickness per coat is 1.5 mils. Application temperatures range from 50°F to 90°F. Dry times vary with temperature, with no maximum dry time before launching. Water is used as a thinner.
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 Instructions: Thorough mixing is necessary due to the tendency for settling. The paint should not be thinned more than 10% when spraying. Surface preparation is crucial for optimal performance, and maintenance involves regular checks and light scrubbing to prevent fouling.
Systems and Surface Preparation: Hydrocoat can be applied to previously painted surfaces, bare fiberglass, bare wood, and steel hulls with specific preparation methods outlined for each. The document provides detailed instructions for each substrate type, emphasizing the importance of proper surface preparation.
Limitations: The product should not be used on aluminum hulls and outdrives. The document advises consulting a Pettit representative for complex systems.

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.

Hydrocoat® Water-Based Antifouling APPLICATION INFORMATION Hydrocoat contains cuprous oxide. As a result, there is a tendency for settling to occur, especially if the paint has been on the shelf for several months. It is necessary to thoroughly mix the paint before using. If possible, shake the can of paint on a mechanical paint shaker. Before using, check the sides and bottom of the can to make sure all the pigment has been mixed in. If mixing is going to be done with a wooden paddle or an electric drill mixer, pour off half of the liquid from the top of the can into another can and then properly...
