Interlux ACT Ablative Antifouling Bottom Paint, Black, Gallon - Season-Long Multi-Season Fouling Protection for Fiberglass, Wood and Primed Metal
Interlux ACT Ablative Antifouling Bottom Paint, Black, Gallon - Season-Long Multi-Season Fouling Protection for Fiberglass, Wood and Primed Metal
Interlux ACT delivers season-to-season antifouling protection using ablative technology that erodes gradually with use. Because the coating wears away as the boat moves through the water, it eliminates the build-up of old spent paint and the heavy sanding normally needed to remove it, making it one of the best-value ablative antifouling choices for boaters who want dependable protection and easier haul-out preparation.
ACT is highly effective at controlling shell fouling such as barnacles and zebra mussels, and it contains a Slime Fighter that helps control weed, slime and algae so the bottom stays cleaner longer. It provides protection against all forms of marine fouling in waters with moderate to heavy fouling and can be used in fresh, salt and brackish water.
