Interlux Micron CSC Antifouling Bottom Paint

Interlux Micron CSCAntifouling Bottom Paint

Interlux is an industry leader in ablative bottom paints, and it is trusted by boat owners for its long-lasting quality products. Interlux Micron CSC bottom paint is a multi-season ablative product developed with an innovative copper-copolymer formula to provide a controlled release of the antifouling biocide. This means when the boat is out of the water for extended periods, the paint will not lose its effectiveness. It also allows the boat to be trailed and relaunched the following season without the necessity of repainting. For great protection all season long, Wholesale Marine recommends using Interlux Micron CSC antifouling paint to protect the underside of your boat.

Protection against all types of fouling is easy with Interlux Micron CSC antifouling paint. It’s made with the proprietary Micron Technology, which provides long-lasting protection against all harsh elements. Recommended for powerboats and sailboats, Micron CSC antifouling paint helps reduce the build-up of old paint coats and minimize sanding. Algae, barnacles, weeds, and other fouling have no chance with this ablative bottom paint. Interlux Micron CSC is highly effective in protecting below the waterline in all types of waters. It is safe to use on wood, fiberglass, and properly primed metal boat bottoms and parts. However, Micron CSC antifouling paint is not recommended for aluminum hulls and fittings.

Interlux Micron CSC is similar to Interlux’s Micron Extra, but is harder and wears away at a slower rate. Micron CSC has a higher solids content for added protection. Just as with many of the other paints in the Interlux line, it has a controlled polishing, which reduces build-up and reduces the need for sanding, saving you time and allowing for more time out on the water.
