- Suitable for Multiple Substrates: Specifically formulated for use on GRP, wood, and steel surfaces, Samurai is versatile for different types of vessels.
- High Coverage Rate: Delivers extensive coverage, maximizing efficiency and reducing the amount of product needed for application.
- Vibrant Colour Options: Available in shark grey, blue, mid blue, red, and black, providing a range of choices to match the aesthetics of any vessel.
Technical Specifications:

- Thinning: Recommended to be used with Seajet Thinner A for optimal application consistency.
- Recommended Film Thickness: Achieves 100 microns wet and 46 microns dry per coat, ensuring solid protection.
- Drying and Overcoating Times: Surface dry in 3 hours and hard dry in 12 hours at 20°C, with a maximum overcoating interval of 24 hours.
Application Details:
- Surface Preparation: High-pressure fresh water wash is required to clean the surface. For existing antifouling in good condition, it can be applied directly if compatible; otherwise, a barrier coat of Seajet 015 is recommended.
- New Application: For new substrates, appropriate sanding and priming with Seajet 015 or Seajet 117 (for GRP/Steel) are required to ensure adherence.
- Environmental Considerations: Offers a more environmentally friendly antifouling solution, formulated without harsh chemicals typically found in other antifoulings.
Usage Instructions: For best results, stir the product thoroughly before use to ensure a uniform consistency. Apply two coats, with an additional coat on high-wear areas such as the leading edges, waterline, rudders, and stern gear.
