SIGMA ECOFLEET 290 Linear-polishing Antifouling

Browse Similar Models by CategoryThis model belongs to: Antifouling

Introduction

Linear polishing antifouling, particularly suitable for all types of ocean-going vessels.

Key properties

• A tin-free self-polishing antifouling for newbuilding and repair.
• It prevents the attachment and growth of marine organisms such as shellfish and algae on the surface for a long time; the antifouling performance is affected by the shipping route and operating frequency.
• A preset polishing rate can be calculated, maintaining a smooth, highly active surface. Depending on the film thickness, it accurately provides antifouling protection over the corresponding service period and performance.
• Complies with the IMO AFS requirements for antifouling coating systems.

Colour and gloss

• Red-brown, brown, black.
• Flat

Basic data 20 °C (68 °F)

Parameters after mixing

Maximum 420.0 g/L (approx. 3.5 lb/gal) (theoretical calculated value).

Notes

• See the supplementary data sheet — theoretical spreading rate versus dry film thickness table.
• See supplementary parameters — recoat interval table.

Recommended substrate condition and temperature

Substrate condition

• A tie-coat compatible with high-performance anticorrosive coating systems.
• The previous coat must be sound, clean, dry and free of all contaminants.

Substrate temperature and application conditions

• During application and curing, the substrate temperature should be above -5 °C (23 °F)
• During application, the substrate temperature must be maintained at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point.
• During application and curing, the relative humidity should not exceed 85%

Instructions for use

• Stir thoroughly before application.
• Before application, raise the temperature of the components or the mixed paint to above 15 °C (59 °F); otherwise, thinner may need to be added to adjust the paint viscosity to a suitable application state.
• Excessive thinning generally reduces the sag resistance of the wet film.

Airless spray (single-feed pump)

Recommended thinner

THINNER 21-06

• For local small-area repair and touch-up only.
• Multi-coat application by brush or roller is not recommended. The maximum dry film thickness achievable by brush or roller application is only 50 µm (2.0 mil).

• THINNER 21-06

Supplementary parameters

Film thickness and theoretical spreading rate

Recoat time for a coating at 160 µm (6.3 mils) dry film thickness

Notes

• With excessive film thickness or adverse climatic conditions, longer drying times may be required.

Safety Precautions

• This is a solvent-borne coating. Avoid inhaling spray and solvent vapours, and avoid contact of uncured paint with skin and eyes
• Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet and product package labelling for full details of the stated safety precautions and protective measures
