Features:

• Polishing type antifouling
• Premium, multi-season copolymer antifouling for harshest fouling areas
• Up to 24 months protection from one complete application
• Minimum paint build up, washes away with use
• Bioluxr technology boosts performance by controlling slime

Micron Extra combines the slime blocking power of Bioluxtm with controlled solubility copolymer antifouling paint technology to provide long-lasting, full-spectrum defense against fouling organisms. Micron Extra incorporates Bioluxtm along with cuprous oxide to achieve complete protection against shell, weed and slime fouling.

The antifouling ingredients are chemically bonded into Micron Extra''s copolymer matrix, which is engineered to gradually wear away as the boat moves through the water, much like a bar of soap. This self-polishing process results in the constant, controlled delivery of biocides from freshly exposed paint film surface, and assures consistent, long-lasting performance and maximum efficiency.

Micron Extra retains it's antifouling effectiveness when hauled and can be relaunched without repainting. The longevity of Micron Extra is related to the amount of paint applied.

GETTING THE RIGHT COLOR
The copper compound within the antifouling is difficult to mask with color pigments. All antifouling paints change color when they are immersed. So don't be surprised when you have finished and the color is not what you had hoped from the color chart, the true color will establish itself after the boat has been launched. Copolymer and ablative type coatings tend to fade more than hard antifouling paints.

Along the waterline the antifouling will often look dirty or faded, and can even turn green. This is due to the reaction of the paint with oxygen forming green copper oxide. For these reasons you should try keep the paint as close to the true waterline as possible.

ANTIFOULING
Antifouling is the most common (and most important) painting job carried out by boat owners. You can very easily do a professional quality job yourself, but you must bear in mind a few important points.

The type of antifouling you choose should be tailored to the fouling challenges in your boating area. Different water qualities and temperatures produce different types and breeds of fouling. Even in a small area the differences can be quite dramatic, due to outfalls, pollution, inflows from rivers and streams, the speed of flow of the water - and even shading from cliffs, trees and buildings.

It is vital to protect your boat through antifouling as once fouling has a hold on your hull; it will rapidly colonize the surface, making it difficult to remove. Prevention is therefore much better than cure.

THREE KEY REASONS ANTIFOULING GROWTH SHOULD BE PREVENTED:
Safety: Heavy fouling growth reduces responsiveness as well as making the boat sit lower in the water. This can have serious implications in challenging weather conditions.

Protection: Prolonged fouling growth will damage the substrate of the hull. For example, the natural glues organisms use to attach to the hull damage wood and fiberglass.

Speed and Efficiency: Fouling causes drag, which slows you down and increases fuel costs.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTIFOULING PAINTS
Antifouling type is dictated by the quality, combinatino, quantity and type of resin.
SELF-POLISHING COPOLYMERS - SPC technology antifoulings work because the film contains a patented resin called an 'SPC Copolymer'. This copolymer reacts with saltwater in a controlled way. As a result, the chemical reaction controls and sustains the release of biocides throughout the lifetime of the antifouling without decline. This chemical reaction will take place at the same rate whether you boat is underway or sitting at the dock. This type of technology has previously only been available in tin-based copolymer coatings, which are restricted in their use to boats over 82 feet in length. This new, patented Interluxr technology is available for professional application to boats of all sizes. It is not recommended for use in fresh water.
For Self-Polishing Copolymers use Micronr 66r

CONTROLLED SOLUBILITY COPOLYMERS or CONTROLLED DEPLETION POLYMERS - These types of antifoulings are partially soluble which means that as water passes across the surface of the coating, it wears down much like a bar of soap would wear away. The physical action of the water over the surface steadily reduces the thickness of the paint at a controlled rate, which results in always having fresh biocide at the surface of the paint throughout the season. For this reason these types of antifoulings have the capability to perform in the areas of highest fouling challenge. Boats painted with Controlled Solubility Copolymers can be hauled and relaunched without repainting since the biocides are chemically bound to the paint film and are only active when in the water. The longevity of these coatings is related to the thickness of the paint.
For Controlled Solubility Copolymer Antifoulings use Micronr Extra with Bioluxr, Micronr CSC or Micronr Optima.

ABLATIVE ANTIFOULINGS - Ablative antifoulings wear away with use like the controlled depletion polymers but at a much less controlled rate. Ablative antifoulings are affected more by water temperature, salinity and alkalinity than are the controlled depletion polymers and generally wear away faster. They are less expensive than controlled depletion polymers and they provide excellent antifouling protection but they don't last as long as the controlled depletion polymers or controlled solubility copolymers.
For Ablative Antifoulings use Fiberglass Bottomkoter ACT.

HARD ANTIFOULINGS - The technical term for these types of antifouling paints is 'contact leaching'. The paint dries to a porous film that is packed with biocides, which leach out on contact with water to prevent fouling growth. This leaching is chemically designed to release biocide throughout the season, but the amount will steadily decrease until there is not enough biocide coming out of the paint film to maintain fouling protection. Once the biocide is exhausted, the hard paint film remains on the boat. Hard antifoulings do not retain their antifouling ability out of the water and cannot be hauled and relaunched without repainting. One of the main benefits of this type of antifouling is its resistance to abrasion and rubbing. This makes it ideal for fast powerboats, racing sailboats or boats where the owners have the bottoms scrubbed regularly. Most hard antifouling paints can be wet sanded and burnished prior to launch to reduce drag and improve hull speed.
For Hard Antifoulings use Ultra with Bioluxr, Ultra-Koter, Fiberglass Bottomkoter or Fiberglass Bottomkoter Aqua. For Hard Racing Finishes use VCr Offshore with Teflonr, Baltoplate, VC 17mr Extra or VC 17mr.
