Bottom Paints

1. Bottom Paints

2. Ablative Paints Micron 66 Micron Extra Micron CSC

3. Micron 66 Interlux Micron 66 is based on an advanced self-polishing copolymer technology that reacts with salt water in a controlled way. The Biolux SPC technology creates a controlled chemical reaction release of biocides, providing excellent protection for at least two seasons. Micron 66 is a fantastic bottom paint in salt water environments but do not use in fresh water.

4. Micron Extra A self-polishing copolymer antifouling paint that wears down with use. Unlike some bottom paints, Micron Extra can be hauled and relaunched without repainting. Contains Biolux, Micron's slime blocking chemical plus cuprous oxide for superior protection against shell, weed and slime fouling. The copolymer compound is designed to self polish (or wear like a bar of soap) over time and use.

5. Micron CSC Micron CSC is an great multi-season Ablative bottom paint with a copper-copolymer formula to provide a controlled release of antifouling biocide at the paint surface. The longevity of the coating depends on the amount of paint applied. Retains effectiveness even when the boat is removed from the water for extended periods (winter storage, for example). To reactivate come springtime, use a stiff brush or power wash lightly.

6. Zinc Paints Vivid Vivid Free Pacifica Mission Bay Free eP2000

7. Vivid Neither an ablative, nor a hard-epoxy paint, this bright-colored, hybrid combines the qualities of both to provide excellent multi-season protection against marine growth. Unlike a hard epoxy paint, it can be hauled and re-launched without loss of effectiveness. Attractive colors and abrasion resistance make it a great choice for trailered boats whose owners want to look sharp while not having to worry about their trailer bunks rubbing the paint off. Sailboat racers appreciate the fact that it can be burnished ultra smooth and it is also excellent for antifouling outdrives and underwater metals.

8. Vivid Free Resistant to slime, algae, barnacles and other marine fouling, Vivid Free features a slow-eroding formula combined with PTFE and the latest biocide technology to minimize coating buildup and keep underwater surfaces smooth and clean. Colors are clean and bright and because it is copper-free, it is a good choice for regulated waters where copper-based paints are not allowed.

9. Pacifica Pacifica uses the controlled release of its biocide to combat fouling. Pacifica may be applied over fiberglass and wood, and because it is copper-free, it is ideal for all underwater metals, including aluminum. Because it wears away with use, performance is directly related to the amount of paint applied.

10. Mission Bay Copper-Free self-polishing antifoulant. When exposed to UV light, the Nano-Based technology copolymer releases the active non-metal biocide which dissipates in seconds without bioaccumulation into the environment. Mission Bay may be used on aluminum hulls without the use of a traditional barrier coat system.

11. EP2000 Recommended for use on all substrates exposed to marine biofouling. EP-2000 offers an exceptionally smooth, hard and flexible finish which is perfect for the racer who desires the fastest, cleanest, and whitest bottom. Free of organotin and copper compounds. VOC compliant and no applicators license needed.

12. Copper Paints Trinidad SR Ultra

13. Trinidad SR The latest technology in soft-growth antifouling protection, a biocide booster called CIBA Irgarol, which significantly reduces slime, algae and other marine and freshwater organisms. The high copper loading boosted by Irgarol together give you the maximum protection against growth in the most extreme conditions.

14. Ultra Ultra provides excellent long-term protection from shell and weed fouling. Ultra contains a very high loading of cuprous oxide and uses Biolux technology to block slime. Ultra is recommended for use wherever the fouling challenge is severe, and can be used in fresh, salt and brackish water on fiberglass, wood and properly primed steel boat hulls and parts.
