Interlux Paint Interlux Racing Bottom Paint

When racing performance demands the absolute best in antifouling technology, Interlux Paint delivers cutting-edge solutions specifically engineered for competitive sailors and performance-minded boaters. Interlux's racing bottom paint lineup represents decades of marine coating innovation, combining advanced chemistry with real-world testing to help vessels achieve maximum speed and efficiency on the water.

Dual Resin Technology for Competitive Advantage

Interlux's Fiberglass Bottomkote NT features unique Dual Resin Technology that combines the durability of hard coatings with the self-polishing benefits of ablative paints, creating a hybrid formulation that addresses the specific needs of racing hulls. This technology allows the surface to slowly smooth with use, helping reduce drag for better speed and fuel efficiency—critical advantages when fractions of a knot make the difference between winning and losing.

Unlike traditional hard paints that build up over multiple seasons or pure ablatives that may wear unevenly under high-speed conditions, the hybrid hard/ablative technology combines hard-coat durability with a controlled polishing action to help prevent premature wear-through while still shedding light growth. This balanced approach ensures your racing hull maintains its optimized surface throughout the competitive season without the weight penalty of excessive paint buildup.

Fast-Dry Performance for Tight Race Schedules

Competitive sailors often face demanding haul-out schedules between regattas, making application speed essential. Interlux's fast-dry formula allows you to apply multiple coats and launch the same day under normal conditions, minimizing downtime and maximizing time on the water. The fast dry formula allows the boat to be painted and launched in the same day, making it ideal for racing teams with back-to-back events or limited yard access.

Versatile Racing Applications

Designed for both powerboats and sailboats, these formulations work effectively in fresh, salt, or brackish water and deliver reliable single-season fouling protection on fiberglass, wood, and properly primed metal hulls. Whether you're campaigning a one-design keelboat, offshore racer, or high-performance powerboat, Interlux racing bottom paints provide the scrubbable, burnishable finish that competitive hulls demand.
