Why Micron technology?

Micron Technology is the basis of all Micron bottom paints and the formulations are second to none. Micron Technology was first introduced to the industry in the early 80's and has evolved into the class leading antifouling paints. 

  • Longest lasting, multi-season ability to haul and re-launch without repainting 
  • Controlled polishing like a bar of soap reduces paint build up, eliminating the need for sanding 
  • Micron Technology polishes to a smoother surface than hard antifoulings - maximizing fuel savings 
  • Unlike old fashion high copper bottom paints, Micron uses less copper more efficiently for longest lasting antifouling protection

How To Apply Interlux Micron 66 Bottom Paint

Prior to application, shake and mix well. Stir Micron 66 continuously while using. Thin only when necessary with Interlux Brush Ease 433 or Special Thinner 216 (not to exceed 10% by volume). at least 2 coats should be applied. For ultimate performance, apply a total of 6 mils dry film thickness to avoid premature polish through. This may be achieved in 2 coats by spray and 3 coats by roller. Apply an extra stripe coat in areas of high wear such as chines, rudders, sterngear, and any leading edges.
