Interlux Paint

<h3>About Interlux Paint</h3><p><strong>Interlux</strong> is one of the most recognized names in marine coatings anywhere on the water. A division of AkzoNobel, Interlux is one of the world&apos;s largest manufacturers of high-performance boat paint, yacht coatings, and marine protection. Formed in 1881, the Interlux brand has become synonymous with the highest standard of care for all kinds of vessels and is an integral part of boat building and maintenance. That legacy of more than 140 years isn&apos;t just history — it&apos;s a track record that boat owners, professional yards, and yacht builders have come to rely on around the globe.</p><h3>Innovation at the Core</h3><p>Scientific expertise is the foundation of this business; no competitor dedicates more resources to ongoing research and development. That commitment shows in the breadth and depth of the Interlux lineup. The company offers a variety of products to be used both below and above the waterline, designed to improve, beautify, and protect all types of vessels. Whether you&apos;re refreshing a weekend runabout or outfitting a bluewater cruiser, Interlux engineers coatings to meet real-world demands on the water.</p><p>One standout example of this technology-first approach is found in their antifouling lineup. Integral to many of these paints is Interlux Biolux, which is an exclusive Interlux technology for keeping the bottoms of boats clean by eliminating the collection of slime. While most of these paints are solvent-based and utilize cuprous oxide as their primary biocide, options also include water-based, low-VOC, and copper-free formulations — some of which use ECONEA as their primary biocide — to soften their impact on the environment and meet local environmental regulations.</p><h3>A Complete System for Every Surface</h3><p>The Interlux product line includes options for all applications, including topside paints, antifouling solutions, primers, and varnishes. This systems-based approach is central to what sets Interlux apart: every product is designed to work together, from surface preparation all the way through to the final coat. Boaters can trust that an Interlux primer, an Interlux topside finish, and an Interlux varnish are formulated to be fully compatible and mutually reinforcing.</p><p>For hull and deck surfaces above the waterline, Interlux Topside Paint options like Brightside polyurethane enamel and the two-part Perfection system deliver durable, high-gloss finishes, while ablative bottom paints use self-polishing technology that continuously renews the active surface. When it comes to natural wood trim, teak decks, and brightwork, <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-wood-finishes-varnish-201205">Interlux Wood Finishes &amp; Varnish</a> products like the Cetol Marine line preserve and enhance natural teak and other marine woods with UV-resistant formulations that withstand harsh sun exposure. And because even the finest topcoat is only as good as the surface beneath it, <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-primers-200810">Interlux Primers</a> offer a complete line of primers and sealers that ensure optimal adhesion, prevent corrosion, and create the ideal foundation for topcoats.</p><h3>Trusted by Professionals and Enthusiasts Alike</h3><p>Interlux products are used by boat owners, repair yards, and marine professionals to protect hulls, decks, and underwater surfaces while delivering consistent application and long-lasting results in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Whether you&apos;re a first-time boat owner or a seasoned boatyard professional, Interlux&apos;s depth of product knowledge and technical support make it one of the easiest marine coating systems to use with confidence.</p>
