Micron Extra is a
high strength polishing antifouling that provides 2 seasons protection from
just one application. (3-4 coats). Formulated with Biolux™ Technology for
controlled optimised biocide release, Micron Extra delivers extra
protection even in difficult fouling conditions.
* Premium performance - extra strength formula
* Haul and relaunch without repainting
* Polishing System - avoids paint build up
Can be applied up to 12 months before launch.

Preparation
|
PREVIOUSLY ANTIFOULED SURFACE:
In Good Condition: Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. If old
antifouling is incompatible or unknown, seal with Primocon.
In Poor Condition: Use Interstrip to remove all traces of
antifouling.
PRIMING: All preparation for bare substrates is covered on the
appropriate primer datasheet.
BARE GRP: Gelshield 200 for osmosis protection, or Primocon.
STEEL/IRON: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
LEAD: Etch Primer followed by Interprotect or Primocon.
WOOD: Preserve, if required, with Intertox. Prime with Interprotect
or Primocon.

|
Method
|
Apply 2 coats per season on the hull. 3
coats are required on the leading and trailing edges, waterline, rudder and
keel. This is important for best performance. If 2 seasons protection is
required, apply 3 coats on the hull and 4 coats on the leading and trailing
edges, waterline, rudder and keel. The more you apply, the longer the
antifouling protection. The boat can be left out of the water after
application of the antifouling for up to 12 months before launching.

Hints
|
Mixing Stir well before
use.
Thinner YTA085 Thinners No.3
Thinning Thinning is not recommended.
Cleaner YTA085 Thinners No.3
Airless Spray Pressure: 176-210 bar. Tip Size: 2180.
Other For Airmix spray application: Pressure: 2.5 bar. Tip
Size: 20-113. True colour will develop after immersion. Take care to apply
all the paint calculated even if it means applying an extra coat. It is
important for performance to apply the correct thickness.

Some Important Points
|
To prevent premature failure, ensure the
correct amount of paint is applied using the coverage as a guide. Product
temperature should be minimum -5°C and maximum 35°C. Ambient temperature
should be minimum -5°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate temperature should be
minimum 1°C above dew point and maximum 35°C.

|
Compatibility/Substrates
|

for use over Aluminium/Alloy substrates or zinc sprayed surfaces. Can be
applied direct over most types of antifoulings, provided they are in sound
condition.

TRANSPORTATION,STORAGE AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
|
|
Storage
|
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided. For the full
shelf life of Micron Extra to be realised ensure that between use the
container is firmly closed and the temperature is between 5°C/40°F and
35°C/95°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
TRANSPORTATION:
Micron Extra should be kept in securely closed containers during transport
and storage.
|
|

Safety
|
GENERAL: Contains
biocides. Antifoulings should only be wet sanded. Never dry sand or
burn-off old antifoulings. Read the label safety section for Health and
Safety Information, also available from our Technical Help Line.
DISPOSAL: Do not discard tins or pour paint into water courses, use the
