Overcoating Intervals:
Substrate Temp. Touch Dry Overcoating Time
Launch Temp F˚ (C˚) Min Min Max Min 73˚ F (23˚C) 2 hrs 1 hrs N/A 12 hrs 95˚ F (35˚C) 1 hrs 1 hrs N/A 12 hrs Consult with your Sea Hawk Representative for the system best suited for surfaces to be protected.
Note: If the vessel is launched, and then rehauled, air exposure should be limited to 72 hours. If out of the water longer than 72 hours, Sharkskin will oxidize and lose its antifouling effectiveness. Therefore, an additional coat of Sharkskin is recommended after 72 hours of air exposure from haul out time.
- Application Data
- Apply by brush, roller or spray. Apply 5 mils (127 μ) wet, which will yield 3.1 mils (78.4 μ) dry per coat.
- Brush: China Bristle
- Roller: Solvent-resistant roller cover 3/8” (10 mm) pile smooth to medium. Prewash roller cover to remove loose fibers prior to use.
- Airless: Spray: Minimum 33:1 –2 GPM ratio pump; 0.017”- 0.026” (0.43-0.66 mm) orifice tip; 3/8” (10 mm) ID high-pressure material hose; 90 PSI line pressure; 60 mesh filter.
- Thinning: If thinning is necessary, thin up to a maximum of 10%, with Sea Hawk 2033 only.
- Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with Sea Hawk 2033. It is a good practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the day. Frequency should depend upon amount sprayed, temperature, elapsed time including delay, etc.
- Safety: Prior to use, obtain and consult the “Safety Data Sheet” for this product for health and safety information. Read and observe all precautionary notices on container labels
- Surface Preparation
Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, wax, or other foreign material using Sea Hawk S-80, S-90, or detergent washing. (SSPC-SPI).
New Construction: Dependent on yard procedures, consult your Sea Hawk Representative.
Previously Painted Surfaces: If previous coating is known to be compatible (See Sea Hawk Compatibility Chart) and in good condition, scuff sand with 80 grit sandpaper then solvent clean with Sea Hawk S-80 Wax “N” Grease Killer to remove residue. Previous antifouling in poor condition should be removed with Sea Hawk 1280 Marine Paint Stripper.
- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). Surface temperature must be a least 5°F (1°C) above dew point. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80°F (21-27°C) temperature range prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage between 40° and 100°F (4-38°C). Prolonged atmospheric exposure of this product may detract from performance.
