Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion.

Iron & Steel, bare Minimum surface preparation is Near White Metal Blast per SSPC-SP10/NACE 2. Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-SP1. Blast clean all surfaces using a sharp, angular abrasive for optimum surface profile (2 mils / 50 microns). Remove all weld spatter and round all sharp edges by grinding. For surfaces prepared per waterjet cleaning, all surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP WJ-2 L, Very Thorough Cleaning, Light Flash Rust. Pre-existing profile should be approximately 2 mils (50 microns).

Previously Painted Antifouling Surfaces Remove possible oil, grease, etc. with suitable detergent.

Rinse using high pressure, fresh water cleaning, which will also remove any weak, outer layer of leached antifouling.

Allow the surface to dry before overcoating.

Whether or not to use a sealer coat over an existing antifouling depends on the type and condition of the existing antifouling.

Surface preparation must be completed as indicated.

Mixing Instructions: Mix paint thoroughly with low speed power agitation prior to use. Make sure there is no settling on the bottom of the can.

Apply paint at the recommended fi lm thickness and spreading rate as indicated below:

Recommended Spreading Rate per coat:

Minimum Maximum

Wet mils (microns) 4.0 (100) 7.0 (175) Dry mils (microns) 2.5 (63) 4.0 (100) ~Coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) 260 (6.4) 430 (10.5) Theoretical coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) @ 1 mil / 25 microns dft 1040 (25.5)

NOTE: Brush or roll application may require multiple coats to achieve maximum fi lm thickness and uniformity of appearance.

Drying Schedule @ 5.0 mils wet (125 microns):

30°F/-1.1°C 50°F/10°C 70°F/21°C 85°F/29°C 100°F/38°C

50% RH

To recoat:

minimum: 32 hrs 16 hrs 8 hrs 4 hrs 2 hrs Undocking*: 48 hrs 24 hrs 12 hrs 8 hrs 4 hrs No maximum recoat time; however, any contamination must be removed by high pressure washing prior to applying the next coat.

*Undocking:

Minimum: depends on the number of coats applied, fi lm thickness, and temperature.

Maximum: depends on the exposure conditions. Refer to Performance Tips section for details.

Application of coating above maximum or below minimum recommended spreading rate may adversely aff ect coating performance.

C U I Clean spills and spatters immediately with VM&P Naphtha, R1K3. Clean tools immediately after use with VM&P Naphtha, R1K3. Follow manufac-turer's safety recommendations when using any solvent.

D The information and recommendations set forth in this Product Data Sheet are based upon tests conducted by or on behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company.

Such information and recommendations set forth herein are subject to change and pertain to the product off ered at the time of publication. Consult your Sherwin- Williams representative to obtain the most recent Product Data Information and Application Bulletin.

P T When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with each pass of the gun to avoid holidays, bare areas, and pinholes. If necessary, cross spray at a right angle

Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include an application loss factor due to surface profi le, roughness or porosity of the surface, skill and technique of the applicator, method of application, various surface irregularities, material lost during mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic conditions, and excessive fi lm build.

Excess reduction of material is not recommended as it can aff ect fi lm build, appearance, and adhesion.

In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment before use or before periods of extended downtime with VM&P Naphtha, R1K3.

When applying over the recommended epoxy coat, the epoxy shall be tacky, but not hard. "Tacky" is defi ned as that curing (drying) stage when a fi ngertip pressed lightly against the fi lm leaves only a slight impression and none of the fi lm sticks to the fi nger.

By providing a constantly active surface during its lifetime, this antifouling is gradually sacrifi ced in the process. The color of the system changes in accordance with the colors of the coats applied, e. g.: Light red changes to whitish in direct contact with seawater.

Indicated fi lm thickness will vary according to specifi cation. This will alter spreading rate and may infl uence drying time. In case of multi-coat applica-tion, drying time and minimum overcoating interval will be infl uenced by the number of coats and by the thickness of each coat applied.

Overcoating: No maximum overcoating interval, but after prolonged expo-sure to polluted atmosphere, remove accumulated contamination by high pressure fresh water cleaning and allow to dry before applying next coat.

Undocking: Minimum undocking time depends on number of coats applied, fi lm thickness, and the prevailing temperature.

Maximum undocking time depends on the exposure conditions, degree of air pollution, etc. The most important factor is to carry out a thorough high pressure fresh water cleaning after prolonged exposure. Outfi tting of up to 6 months followed by such cleaning normally presents no problem. Longer outfi tting periods to be evaluated from case to case. The recommended maximum undocking interval relates to vertical bottom only. Flat bottom, which has not been exposed to direct sunlight, will for all normal practical building schedules have a no-maximum value.
