This product is an upgraded version of LF-Sea, further reducing frictional resistance and improving fuel savings. The ultra-low friction antifouling paint produced using patented biomimetic "stagnant water layer" technology can effectively reduce the carbon footprint of vessels. The low-friction-coefficient copper silyl acrylate polymer ensures long-term stable antifouling performance. This product can be applied over existing antifouling coatings. When used in combination with Nippon's "Rheo" anti-rust paint, fuel savings can be further enhanced.
Complies with the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships adopted by the IMO in October 2001 (IMO document AFS/CONF/26)

Take the necessary protective measures to avoid skin and eye contact (e.g. gloves, safety glasses, face shield).
Before use, refer to the health and safety information in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product.
1) The content of this data sheet may be revised at any time as experience grows and the product develops. 2) Before and after spraying, clean the spray equipment, lines and guns with THINNER 300.
3) If mixed with other antifoulings or any other chemicals, the product will not qualify for the 'tin-free antifouling declaration'. 4) The interval before immersion is affected by environmental conditions, ventilation, film thickness and number of coats; for actual data, consult field technical service. 5) Store the product in a paint warehouse.
