Description

YACHTCARE PROTECTOR HARD is a biocide-free, hard matrix bottom paint for sail and motor boats made of GRP, steel, wood or aluminum. Contains the LUBRICATOR FLUID developed by YACHTCARE, which makes it difficult for fouling to adhere to the surface.

Application: For new boats, the hull should be primed accordingly, e.g. with YACHTCARE Antifouling Primer or YACHTCARE Epoxy Primer. On existing hard antifouling, the coating can be applied directly to conventional hard antifouling (not PTFE-containing) after light sanding; a conversion primer is not necessary.
