Exposure of a freshly applied antifouling paint to moist air can lead to color change. The discoloration is only superficial and does not affect the effectiveness of the antifouling paint. Due to the content of copper oxide, a small color difference between the parts of the antifouling paint is acceptable.

If anti-fouling is being applied to a vessel without any paint coatings, it is advisable to first apply systems that create protective layers. This means that different protection will be applied to different surfaces:
If the vessel has old anti-fouling coatings, first check the compatibility between the new paint and the previously applied paint. If the paints are incompatible or the coatings are in poor condition, they should be removed and treated as for new units without antifouling protection. If the paints are compatible and the coatings are in good condition, wet sand the surface with P120-P240 grit sandpaper before applying new coats. After sanding, clean and degrease the surfaces using Sea-Line Cleaner.
If the existing coating is in good condition and the type of antifouling paint previously applied is unknown (excluding paints containing Teflon), wet sanding the surface with P120-P240 grit sandpaper is recommended. Then, use Sea-Line Universal Chlorinated Rubber 1K Primer as a release agent; see the primer’s technical data sheets.
In the case of high temperatures and the need to thin the antifouling paint, a maximum dilution of 0-5% (by volume) is recommended.
Dilution and the application method directly affect the thickness of the antifouling paint layer.
Special attention should be paid to obtaining a specific coating thickness (100 μm DTF), which ensures the effective operation of the antifouling paint.

It is not recommended to apply 2K paints over 1K paints. 1K and 2K inks differ in their composition and properties, including hardness, chemical resistance and durability. 1K paints are one-component and dry by evaporating the solvent, while 2K paints are two-component and need to be cured by adding a hardener. Applying 2K paint over 1K paint can cause unpredictable chemical reactions and lead to undesirable effects such as dulling, chipping or flaking of the paint. Therefore, always use paints according to the manufacturer’s instructions and do not mix different types of paints. farby zgodnie z instrukcjami producenta i nie mieszać różnych rodzajów farb.
Do not add more hardener, because after the base has cured, the remaining hardener will react with subsequent layers, which will be applied to the surface and cause defects. For the product to work properly, please follow the proportions given by the manufacturer.
