Lest we forget, Washington State is leading the nation in replacing copper bottom paint in the coming years. And while some are busy hand-wringing about what will come, many in the industry are coming up with solutions. Here’s a new product from Interlux. If anyone has experience with copper free paints, please share them. Send them to me, kurt@nwyachting.com, and I’ll put them all together in the future.
(Press Release)
The latest addition to the premier performance Micron® antifouling line, Micron CF not only offers best-in-class performance in the copper-free category of paints, it also offers the longevity that boat owners have come to expect from traditional copper-based antifoulings. By specifying and using Micron CF, a boat yard or marina gets to experience the benefits of a copper-free product, while ensuring complete satisfaction in performance.
Like the rest of the Interlux Micron Technology line, Micron CF provides multi-seasonal performance, reduced maintenance and the ability to haul and re-launch without the need to repaint. The self-smoothing characteristics of the paint help maximize fuel efficiencies for the boat owner.
With the environment in mind, Micron CF is also formulated using less solvent, which means it meets VOC regulations in all of the US.
Micron CF is suitable for all types of boats, all substrates and all waters. It is available only in the USA in gallons of bright, crisp Micron Technology colors.
