MARLIN TF 0.750 SELF-POLISHING ANTIFOULING

Self-polishing antifouling based on special resins, cuprous oxide

and anti-slime agents, in the colors: oxide red, black and sky blue. In the colors

white and sky blue is copper-free and is therefore also suitable for hulls

made of light alloy. It has the property of being dissolved by water in a manner

uniform and at controlled speed; the exhausted part is continuously

moved away from the surface by the motion, so that in contact

There is always a fresh layer of water, which is highly active.

In this way the useful life of the MARLIN TF is directly proportional

to the thickness of the applied film. By applying an appropriate thickness the

hull can stay clean for up to 24 months. MARLIN TF maintains its

effective even on boats that remain in ports for long periods.

MARLIN TF also has the advantage of maintaining the minimum values

the friction between water and hull; in fact, over time, this friction decreases,

as the product "self-polishes" and is eroded more quickly on the

raised areas and in the depressions of the surface. The solubility in water

It is very well balanced, therefore it is also suitable for fast boats (up to 25 knots).

Any cleaning of the hull with brushes, abrasive felts, sponges to remove

that little bit of silt that may have formed after a long stop of the vessel,

shorten the duration of protection, as each of these operations

It removes a lot of thickness. USE: On fiberglass it should be applied after degreasing.

with solvent, sanding and application of a coat of FIBERGLASS PRIMER.

On wood and iron it should be applied after a suitable cycle based on epoxy products.

On hulls already treated with MARLIN TF, it is necessary to remove the surface layer

porous with vigorous pressure washing or better still by sanding.

The same procedure must also be followed in the case of other antifoulings,

with most of which the MARLIN TF is compatible. In case of

very porous or badly reduced surface, it is advisable to apply, before the MARLIN TF,

a coat of UNIVERSAL PRIMER diluted with approximately 20% of THINNER N° 2. MARLIN TF

It can be applied by brush, roller or spray; the minimum interval between coats is 8 hours.

(at 20° C); before launching, wait until the product is perfectly dry

even in depth, the time required is 24 hours for thicknesses of 100-120 microns

(2-3 coats) on temperate and not too humid days; for higher thicknesses or in

In case of colder temperatures, you need to wait longer periods.

The product can be exposed to air for up to six months after application.

MARLIN TF is suitable for wooden, iron, and plastic boats.
