Seahawk Paints 4702/GL Smart Solution Metal-Free Antifouling Paint Blue Gallon

Seahawk Smart Solution is an advanced metal-free antifouling paint that delivers effective protection against marine growth without the environmental impact of traditional copper-based bottom paints. This next-generation coating utilizes ECONEA (Tralopyril), a pharmaceutical-grade biocide that controls hard-shell fouling like barnacles and mussels without bio-accumulation in the marine environment.

Key Features:

• Completely metal-free formulation safe for aluminum and steel hulls when properly primed
• Creates a protective slime coat similar to fish scales that prevents microorganism attachment
• Ablative self-polishing technology slowly wears away with use to prevent paint buildup
• Slick film coating enhances boat speed and performance in the water
• One or more seasons of protection against fouling with periodic cleaning or active use
• Compatible with most existing antifouling paints
• Semi-gloss finish with 63% volume solids
• Coverage: 267-288 square feet per gallon at recommended thickness

Specifications:

• Active ingredient: 2.9% ECONEA biocide
• Recommended coats: 3 coats minimum
• Dry film thickness: 3.78 mils per coat
• VOC: 328 g/L
• Flash point: 100°F
• Application methods: Brush, 3/8" nap roller, or spray
• Thinner: Seahawk 2033 or 2035
• Shelf life: 2-3 years

Suitable for fiberglass, wood, aluminum (with proper primer), and steel hulls. The coating reacts with salt water within days to create a living protective surface that defends against bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens. Soft growth can be easily cleaned with a garden hose or gentle underwater scrubbing.
