COPPER BOTTOM Protective & Marine Coatings ANTI-FOULING PAINT #45 N51-45 SERIES Revised 5/10 9.07 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RECOMMENDED USES COPPER BOTTOM ANTI-FOULING PAINT #45 is a semi-hard, anti-fouling developed for the shallow draft trade. It offers a moderately high concentration loading of cuprous oxide and a chemically modied binder that only slightly dissolves upon immersion service. Used for moderate tropical fouling conditions where a moderately high concentration loading of cuprous oxide is required. • 2 to 3 years service life • Apply over existing vinyl antifouling coatings Used as an anti-fouling coating over prepared surfaces such as steel, wood, aluminum, berglass, and previously painted surfaces coated with anti-fouling paint. Use on vessels with a service speed of less than 10 knots. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS Finish: Matte <30 units at 60° • Provides up to 2 to 3 years service in moderately severe fouling water when applied at recommended dry lm thickness in two coats. Color: Red, Black, Blue Volume Solids: 53% ± 2%, calculated Weight Solids: 80% ± 2% Cuprous Oxide: 45% by weight • Extensively tested in fouling conditions of Biscayne Bay, Miami, FL. VOC: Unreduced: <400g/L; 3.33 lb/gal Reduced 3.3%: <420 g/l; 3.5 lb/gal • Formulated to be applied directly over existing coatings, including vinyl anti-fouling coatings. • The loading of active cuprous oxide is balanced for economical use and moderate service life.
