Seahawk Paints Tropikote Antifouling Bottom Paint

Seahawk Paints Tropikote is a hard, modified-epoxy antifouling bottom paint for boats. It is a conventional, copper-based marine coating that protects the hull from barnacles, slime, weed and other marine growth. It is a multi-season boat bottom paint, and it helps cut down on hull maintenance.

Key Features:

• Contains over 75% cuprous oxide. Seahawk lists the copper content as 75.8%, using a high-grade cuprous oxide.
• Hard modified-epoxy formula for multi-season protection against all types of fouling
• Adheres well to fiberglass, wood and steel hulls
• Can be applied over other modified-epoxy antifoulants, and is intended for overcoating without lifting the underlying coatings
• Suitable for fast or slow moving vessels
• Scrubbable without removing the paint
• Consistent viscosity for good flow and rolling, with good color consistency
• Applies by brush, solvent-resistant roller, or conventional or airless spray
• Theoretical coverage is about 320 sq ft per gallon, with 60% volume solids. Seahawk recommends two coats on the whole hull and a third at the waterline and other high-wear areas.

Important: Do not use on aluminum hulls or outdrives, because the paint is copper-based. If the vessel is launched and then hauled out again, limit air exposure of the paint to 72 hours.

Tropikote is Seahawk's top-of-the-line hard antifouling paint. It is a good choice for boat owners who want durable, long-lasting bottom protection for powerboats and sailboats.
