Product catalog summary
Product Description: SEAVOYAGE Copper Free Antifouling Paint is a solvent-based, copper and tin-free ablative antifoulant coating designed to deter both soft and hard fouling. It utilizes unique metal-free organic biocide technology to comply with the IMO ban on TBT-containing coatings. The biocides are non-persistent in the environment, and the product has low VOC levels to meet environmental regulations. It is EPA registered and qualified to MIL-PRF-24647 standards.
Product Characteristics: The paint has a matte finish and is available in red and black. It contains 65% volume solids and 75% weight solids, with a VOC content of less than 340 g/L. The recommended spreading rate per coat is between 4.5 to 9.0 wet mils, translating to 3.0 to 6.0 dry mils. The drying schedule varies with temperature, requiring up to 72 hours to recoat at 40°F and as little as 8 hours at 100°F.
Recommended Uses: This paint is ideal where no copper discharge is required, and for use on aluminum hulls. It is lighter than traditional copper-based antifoulants and can be applied over existing antifouling systems. The service life is proportional to the film thickness.
Performance Characteristics: The paint exhibits strong adhesion (900 psi) and excellent fouling resistance, maintaining a high rating in various marine environments. The biocides used are environmentally friendly, with low solubility in water and a three-hour hydrolytic half-life in seawater.
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. For iron and steel, a Near White Metal Blast is recommended. Previously painted surfaces should be cleaned with high-pressure water to remove any weak layers.
Application Conditions: The paint should be applied at temperatures between 40°F and 100°F, with relative humidity not exceeding 85%. Proper equipment and techniques are necessary to ensure optimal application.
Safety Precautions: Users should refer to the MSDS sheet for safety information. The product's technical data and instructions are subject to change, and users should consult Sherwin-Williams for the latest information.
Warranty: Sherwin-Williams warrants the product to be free of manufacturing defects, with liability limited to replacement or refund of the purchase price. No other warranties are expressed or implied.
