Seajet Paint Specifications
Below Water System
The underwater coating of a boat with antifouling is a multi-layer process that is carefully matched to the specific substrate of the boat. Firstly, a primer is applied, which acts as a bonding agent between the hull and the subsequent layers and also protects the substrate from water and corrosion. The number of primer coats required can vary depending on the material of the boat hull.
Above Water System
Seajet offers both 1-component and 2-component above-water coatings that provide comprehensive protection and improved aesthetics for boats.
Both system types offer UV protection, are weather resistant and come in a variety of colours, making them a versatile choice for boat owners who value durability and visual variety.
The 1-component systems with Seajet 122 are characterised by their ease of use and fast drying, ideal for DIY projects and quick applications.
The 2-component systems with Seajet 132 offer increased durability and resistance to chemical influences and abrasion, making them particularly suitable for harsh environments and higher load requirements.
Varnish
Seajet 120 Varnish and Seajet 130 Gloss Varnish are two high-quality varnish products specially developed to protect and enhance boat surfaces.
Seajet 120 Varnish is a clear varnish known for its exceptional resistance to the harsh conditions of the marine environment. It provides long-lasting protection against UV rays, salt water and general wear and tear. Seajet 120 is particularly suitable for wooden boat parts as it enhances the natural beauty of the wood while providing a robust protective film.
Seajet 130 Gloss Varnish, on the other hand, is a high gloss clear varnish that also offers excellent protection, but with a stronger focus on the aesthetic finish. It is characterised by its high gloss retention and is ideal for boat owners who prefer a glossy, mirror-like finish on their boats. The varnish is easy to apply and, in addition to its attractive appearance, offers good resistance to scratches and UV damage.
Both products are designed to improve the longevity and appearance of boats, with each varnish offering its own specific benefits in terms of protection and finish.
Coating a boat both above and below the water requires special preparations and products that are tailored to the respective substrate. Below the waterline, a primer is applied, followed by several coats of antifouling to prevent organisms from adhering. Above the waterline, special above-water paints are used to provide UV resistance and protection against the weather. The exact composition and number of coats depend on the material of the boat and are crucial for long-lasting protection and aesthetics.
