SeaQuantum Spectrum Acrylic Silyl Low-Friction Iridescent Self-Polishing Antifouling is an antifouling, in the acrylic coating system. Designed to provide an optimised solution for vessels sailing at a wide range of speeds and activity rates where long-term hull performance and fuel saving are the primary concern, with blue and black colours available. This antifouling effect is achieved through highly predictable and stable self-polishing properties, while reducing hull deterioration, friction and speed loss. Parameters on this page: volume solids 47 ± 2%, dry film thickness 75-150 µm, theoretical spreading rate 6.2-3.1 m²/L. Comparable models from the same brand: SeaMate M, Seamate NB, SeaQuantum Classic III.

SeaQuantum Spectrum
It is a one-component chemically hydrolysing acrylic silyl resin antifouling coating based on new technology. It has excellent antifouling properties and self-smoothing hull performance. This antifouling effect is achieved through highly predictable and stable self-polishing properties, while reducing hull deterioration, friction and speed loss. Used only as a topcoat in immersion environments. Suitable for application on aluminium and carbon steel substrates coated with certified primers and intermediate coats. It can be applied at surface temperatures below 0 °C.
Marine coatings:
Recommended for underwater hulls during newbuilding and dry-docking. Designed to provide an optimised solution for vessels sailing at a wide range of speeds and activity rates where long-term hull performance and fuel saving are the primary concern, with blue and black colours available. Designed as part of a complete coating system, it can provide long-term protection of up to 60 months.
Used as an antifouling for newbuildings and major refurbishment projects, for the boottop and vertical sides during ship repair, with dry-dock intervals of up to 60 months.
Antifouling.
Complies with the IMO Antifouling Systems Convention AFS/CONF/26 and IMO MEPC.331(76)
Other certificates and approvals are available on request.

The packaging sizes above are typical reference sizes for factory batch production. Due to regional regulatory differences, packaging sizes and capacities may vary by region.
Store in accordance with national regulations. Keep containers in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly closed. Handle with care.
Acrylic Silyl Low-Friction Iridescent Self-Polishing Antifouling 6 months; for the black product, the shelf life is 12 months.
In some markets, the stated shelf life may be shortened to comply with local legal requirements. The above is the minimum shelf life; thereafter, testing is required to confirm quality remains acceptable.
For professional use only. Applicators and workers must be trained, experienced, capable and equipped to mix, stir and apply the coating correctly in accordance with JOTUN's technical documents. Applicators and workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment when using this product. This guidance is provided based on current product knowledge. Any proposed modification to suit site conditions must be approved by the responsible JOTUN representative before use.
Read the safety warnings on the container packaging. Use in well-ventilated conditions. Avoid inhaling spray mist and avoid skin contact. In case of accidental splashes on skin, wash immediately with a suitable cleaner, soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately.
When used primarily as a primer or antifouling coating, products may show slight colour variation from batch to batch. Such products, and epoxy products used as topcoats, may chalk when exposed to sunlight.
Gloss and colour retention of topcoats depend on the colour type, the surrounding environment such as temperature and UV intensity, application quality and product type. Contact your local JOTUN office for further information.
