This is a three-component elastic foul-release coating based on elastic technology. It contains no biocide and has excellent antifouling and hull performance. This antifouling effect is achieved through a smooth, low-friction surface, while reducing hull degradation and speed loss. Used as a topcoat in immersed environments. Only suitable over approved Jotun FRC tie coat.
For the complete drydock application procedure for JOTUN silicone foul-release coatings, refer to TSS-TI-084
Marine coatings:
Recommended for underwater hulls on newbuildings and at dry docking. Specially designed as a quality solution for ships cruising or operating at medium to high speeds. High gloss, excellent colour retention, providing a long-lasting aesthetic appearance. Especially suitable for areas with specific speeds and where long-term hull protection is a concern. As part of a complete coating system, this product can provide long-term protection of up to 60 months.
Industrial protective coatings:
Specially designed for the external hulls of offshore structures and deep-sea stationary equipment.
For global and coastal trade routes.

For the maximum recoat interval, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.
After application, the substrate temperature shall be kept at a minimum of 10 °C for 2 consecutive hours. The minimum substrate temperature for drying and curing is 5 °C.
If the drying/curing temperature is 5 °C, the minimum time before immersion in seawater is 36 hours.
Drying and curing times depend on controlled temperature and relative humidity (30–85%) and the product's average dry film thickness range.
For recoat interval guidance in rainy weather, refer to TSS-TI-084

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.
The information in this datasheet is based entirely on knowledge gained in our laboratory and in practice.
