Description
INTERLUX VC Offshore Hard Vinyl Antifouling Paint, Blue – V116-QT
Interlux VC Offshore is a hard vinyl antifouling paint formulated for racing sailboats, performance power boats and other applications where a smooth, low-friction underwater surface is important. This blue finish contains a fluoro microadditive that allows the coating to be wet sanded and burnished for a very smooth profile.
VC Offshore is suitable for fresh and salt water use on properly prepared substrates. It is best suited to clean, dry and properly prepared surfaces, existing compatible vinyl antifouling systems, or barrier-primed substrates prepared according to the Interlux system directions.
