Ablative Antifouling Coatings
Junior Sailing Program Fund Raising
The features of ablative paint coatings are they contain no organotin
compounds. They contain high levels of cuprous oxides. Their
unique ablative mechanism prevents attachment of fouling organisms
over long periods even under severe fouling conditions. The smoothing
action helps reduce drag resistance.
The product has a two year shelf life and can be brushed, rolled or
sprayed and is very compatible with a wide range of bottom paints. Dry
time is a minimum of 4 hours before recoating and 5 hours prior to
launching. No maximum drying time.
Who Should Use? Yacht racers looking for a fast clean bottom. Power boaters, where
reduced operating costs and extended haul out intervals are required.
The coatings are available in 1 USG Containers. Red, Blue and Black
colours only are available. Epoxy coatings and topside enamels are
also available.
These ablative coatings are available through the Club office at
$150.00 CDN (tax included) per gallon.
Please see Ken or Christine (AYC Office) or call 477-4617 to order.
A quantity of the ablative coating will be stocked at the club.
Many members of the Club have been using these coatings for 25
years or longer and the only complaint we are aware of is that we can't
make it available in green. |
