Antifouling for boats

Can I use this antifouling on the hull too?

No, this antifouling is specifically formulated for transducers and underwater lights. Use it only for these components to avoid damage or malfunction. For the hull, choose a specific hard matrix, self-polishing, or hybrid technology antifouling.

How long does the transducer antifouling effect last?

The duration depends on environmental conditions (water temperature, salinity, presence of vegetation) and boat speed. Typically, proper application provides effective protection for at least 6-12 months. Check periodically and apply a new coat when necessary.

Will this antifouling interfere with the transducer signal?

If applied correctly, in a thin, even coat, the antifouling should not interfere with the transducer signal. Be sure to choose a product specifically formulated for transducers that does not contain copper or other metals that could shield the signal.

How should I prepare the surface before applying the antifouling?

Surface preparation is essential to ensure adhesion and effectiveness of the antifouling. Thoroughly clean the surface with a dedicated degreaser to remove any traces of dirt, oil, or existing fouling. If necessary, lightly sand the surface to create greater adhesion. Make sure the surface is completely dry before applying the antifouling.

Can I apply multiple coats of antifouling for greater protection?

In general, it is not necessary to apply multiple coats of antifouling for transducers and underwater lights. A thin, even coat is sufficient to provide effective protection. Applying excessive coats may compromise transducer performance or reduce the brightness of the lights.

What should I do if the antifouling comes into contact with skin or eyes?

In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Wear gloves and eye protection during application of the antifouling.
