Seahawk Paints

<h3>Four Decades of Marine Coating Excellence</h3> <p>Sea Hawk Paints, established in 1978, has dedicated over four decades to bringing premium quality marine coating products to today's mariners. 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. The family-owned and operated company maintains a commitment to excellence that has made them one of the most trusted names in boat maintenance and protection.</p> <p>What sets Sea Hawk apart is their comprehensive approach to marine protection. Each product undergoes rigorous testing before leaving their facility, ensuring that every gallon meets exacting specifications. From weekend sailors to professional yacht maintenance crews, boaters choose Sea Hawk because their formulations deliver consistent results in diverse marine environments—whether facing the harsh fouling conditions of tropical waters or the more moderate challenges of northern harbors.</p> <h3>Industry-Leading Antifouling Technology</h3> <p>At the heart of Sea Hawk's product line lies their exceptional <a href="/7551-seahawk-paints-sea-hawk-antifouling-paint-200905">antifouling paint</a> collection. Their bottom paint offerings include traditional copper-based hard epoxy and ablative formulations, as well as copper-free and low VOC, water-based bottom paints that leave a softer environmental footprint and meet various government regulations. The company's ablative coatings are engineered to wear away at a controlled rate through water friction, releasing biocides gradually while minimizing the need for sanding during haul-out—a significant time-saver for boat owners.</p> <p>Their biocide-free Smart Solution bottom paint utilizes slick-forming technology to increase speed and prevent marine growth through natural water friction, representing the next generation of environmentally conscious antifouling solutions. For those facing severe marine growth challenges, Sea Hawk's hard epoxy formulations deliver aggressive protection with high copper content specifically designed for warm water applications.</p> <h3>Specialized Coatings for Every Need</h3> <p>Beyond bottom paints, Sea Hawk has developed specialized solutions for specific marine applications. Their <a href="/7551-seahawk-paints-sea-hawk-aluminum-boat-paint-200904">aluminum boat paint</a> products are formulated to safely protect aluminum hulls without the corrosion concerns associated with traditional copper-based paints. This copper-free technology provides critical protection for trailered boats and aluminum vessels that require different chemical considerations than fiberglass hulls.</p> <p>The company's <a href="/7551-seahawk-paints-primers-200810">primers</a> serve as essential foundation layers for any marine coating system. Sea Hawk primers and epoxy coatings are used to promote adhesion, seal out water and protect against corrosion. Their Tuff Stuff epoxy primer line, available in both standard and low-VOC formulations, provides high-build coverage suitable for steel, fiberglass, and properly prepared aluminum substrates. These primers create the barrier protection necessary for long-lasting antifouling performance.</p> <p>For boat owners preparing surfaces, Sea Hawk offers professional-grade <a href="/7551-seahawk-paints-dewaxers-strippers-200315">dewaxers and strippers</a> designed to remove mold release wax from new gelcoat and strip old coatings efficiently. Proper surface preparation is critical for paint adhesion, and these specialty chemicals ensure that subsequent coating layers bond correctly for maximum durability and performance.</p> <h3>Innovation Rooted in Research</h3> <p>Sea Hawk's commitment to advancement extends beyond their current product catalog. The company maintains an active research and development program, with hundreds of new formulations under testing at any given time. This dedication to innovation ensures that Sea Hawk remains at the forefront of marine coating technology, developing solutions that balance environmental responsibility with vessel performance requirements.</p> <p>Whether you're maintaining a small fishing boat, protecting a luxury yacht, or managing a fleet of commercial vessels, Sea Hawk Paints provides application-specific solutions backed by decades of marine coating expertise and a reputation built on quality, performance, and customer satisfaction.</p>

Product Details

Sea Hawk Biocop TF was developed as an alternative to tin-based antifouling paints to protect against the harshest marine environments and provide maximum protection to your vessel. This top-of-the-line dual biocide bottom paint is the first non-tin-based antifouling paint to outperform the old tin-based paints.

Advanced Dual Biocide Technology:

An improved cuprous oxide and zinc pyrithione dual biocide, combined with a state-of-the-art "PL3" polymer controlled release mechanism, leaves no harmful chemicals in the environment. The formulation contains 38% cuprous oxide and 4.14% zinc omadine as active ingredients. The polymer binder system is engineered to optimize the release of copper, which prevents hard shell fouling, and zinc omadine which prevents slime.

Self-Polishing Ablative Formula:

As an ablative paint, Biocop TF slowly wears away or "self-polishes" at a controlled rate as the boat is used, constantly releasing fresh biocide for unbroken antifouling effectiveness, reducing the build-up of old spent paint and the need for sanding at haulout, and reducing drag to enhance fuel efficiency.

Key Features:

  • Considered the top performer among antifouling paints and is safe in salt or fresh water on boats of all sizes
  • Harder ablative finish lasts longer on higher-speed boats and is abrasion resistant, allowing it to withstand maintenance scrubbing without removing paint and trailering and dry storage without damaging the coating
  • Delivers multi-season protection against hard and soft marine growth
  • Lloyd's Registry approved
  • Can be applied over properly prepared tin-based paint
  • Semi-gloss finish

Application Specifications:

  • Theoretical coverage: 315 square feet per gallon
  • Two coats recommended, three at the waterline and other high-wear areas
  • Contains 57% solids by volume
  • Can be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray

This gallon of Biocop TF in Red provides professional-grade marine protection suitable for fiberglass, wood, and steel hulls when used with proper preparation and primer systems.
