Osculati-Antifouling

Prior to the antifouling paint always apply 2 coats of Primer Sealer 65.620.10/20 or 1 coats of two-component epoxy Primer 65.621.10/20 HARD-MATRIX Application: approximate liters of 2 coats of antifouling paint Liters Meters lenght 6 3 3 4,5 5,25 6 6,75 8,25 9 10,5 12 3 4,5 6 7,5 9 10,5 12,75 14,25 16,5 18 Sail boat Motor boat 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Boat type Always in water X Seasonal use Fresh water Salt water Fiberglass Wood Steel Aluminium Fiberglass Wood Steel Aluminium Up to 25 knots Over 25 knots Hard matrix HM-Classic 153 65.611.xx HM-Premium 365 65.612.xx SP-Classic 153 65.601.xx SP-Premium 365 65.602.xx Self-polishing matrix X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X How to choose Osculati antifouling paints do not contain copper and therefore are fit for any kind of hull (fiberglass, aluminium, wood, etc.). Both self-polishing and hard-matrix antifouling paints are available on the market: • Self-polishing antifouling paints are gradually subject to wear over time and therefore help maintain the hull clean. They are meant to last all season if applied on sailboats and not too fast boats (up to 25 knots). • Hard-matrix antifouling paints will not wear out through use and therefore their function is essentially chemical. Suitable for fast boats (over 25 knots) and long cruises. • good abrasion resistance • for boats whose speed is > 25 knots SELF-POLISHING • smooth surface and good film solubility • for sailing or motor boats whose speed is < 25 knots
