Micron 300 is an antifouling product effective against fouling organisms; slime, aquatic plants and animals. MICRON 300 is a powerful antifouling agent, suitable for professional and non-professional use on ships in fresh and salt-water. Thanks to its constant polishing effect, the system offers effective protection for up to two years and prevents the build-up of thick layers. The surface becomes smoother and smoother, which ensures reduced friction, while maintaining optimal biocide release, even during lay times. MICRON 300 can be applied up to 12 months before launching. Suitable for GRP, wood, steel and lead. Yield: 9 m²/l.
Processing instructions
Technical specifications
- Processing temperature: +5° C to +35° C
- Drying time at 15 °C: 45 minutes (dust dry)
- Overcoating time at 15 °C: min. 10 hours
Can be applied to most antifoulings provided they are in good condition. Not to be used in combination with VC17m or PTFE-containing antifoulings.
For coated surfaces
- In good condition: Remove fouling, impurities and paint residues completely and then sand wet with 80-120 grit sandpaper (not dry!). If existing antifouling is not compatible or unknown, seal with suitable barrier coat.
- In poor condition: Use Interstrip to remove all antifouling residues.
GRP/Blank gelcoat: Make sure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free and in a generally good condition. Use
Thinner No. 3 for degreasing. Coat the surface to be treated with
Gelschield 200 (osmosis protection) or
Primocon. Then apply two coats of MICRON 300. Renew every season.
Wood: Make sure that the surface is clean, dry as well and dust-free and in generally good condition. Use
Thinner No. 3 for degreasing. Prime with
Interprotect or
Primocon. Then apply two coats of MICRON 300. Renew every season.
Steel/lead: Make sure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free and in a generally good condition. Use
Thinner No. 3 for degreasing. Prime with
Interprotect or
Primocon. Then apply two coats of MICRON 300. Renew every season.
Not suitable for use on aluminium or galvanised surfaces.
