Seahawk Paints Primers

Sea Hawk Paints provides premium, hand-crafted primers designed specifically for the demanding marine environment, where proper surface preparation and adhesion are critical to long-term performance. As part of the Sea Hawk Paints family of marine primers, these formulations address the unique challenges boat owners face when protecting hulls against corrosion, osmotic blistering, and incompatible coating systems.

Tuff Stuff High-Build Epoxy Primer Technology

Sea Hawk Tuff Stuff marine epoxy primer features unique Sheet Silicate Technology that provides all-in-one osmosis protection, making it the cornerstone of the brand's primer lineup. Tuff Stuff is a high build, fast drying marine epoxy primer for use over steel, fiberglass, and properly prepared aluminum below the water line. This versatile coating serves double duty as both a repair solution for blistered fiberglass and a preventative barrier coat for unblistered hulls, giving boat owners comprehensive protection against one of the most costly marine maintenance issues.

The applicator-friendly 24-hour window between the last coat of Tuff Stuff and bottom paint simplifies the haul-out process, reducing yard time and labor costs. This extended overcoating window, combined with the primer's high-build characteristics, allows professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike to achieve professional-grade results with fewer complications.

sHAWKocon Multi-Functional Anti-Corrosive Primer

For general-purpose underwater applications, sHAWKocon is a fast-drying, general-purpose below-the-waterline anti-corrosive primer that addresses multiple challenges in a single product. This novel single component primer works on fiberglass, steel, aluminum and wood, making it an essential tool for mixed-material vessels or running gear protection. Its excellent barrier coat properties reduce pitting of underwater metals from galvanic corrosion on running gear, lower units of outboards, keels, pontoons, and I/O's.

Beyond corrosion protection, sHAWKocon excels as a conversion coating that seals over incompatible or unknown antifouling paints, preventing the cracking and adhesion failures that plague many bottom paint projects. This versatility makes it particularly valuable when dealing with used boats where the coating history is uncertain.

Quality Manufacturing Standards

Sea Hawk primers are designed to exceed industry standards, ensuring a smooth and durable finish. Manufactured by New Nautical Coatings, a Florida-based company with more than forty years of experience, all Sea Hawk marine coatings are carefully tested to comply with the strictest quality standards. This commitment to quality control ensures consistent performance whether you're protecting a weekend cruiser or preparing a yacht for extended offshore passages.
