Interlux Micron CF Antifouling Bottom Paint, Green, Gallon - Part 5608692

Interlux Micron CF is a multi-season antifouling bottom paint built on Biolux Slime Blocking Technology and Econea biocide to keep hulls clear of slime, barnacles, and zebra mussels across multiple seasons. It is a polishing (ablative) paint, meaning the coating wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, which limits paint build-up over time and keeps the hull smooth. That self-smoothing surface reduces drag, which helps improve fuel efficiency compared to a hull left to foul or build up with old paint layers. The formula is high-solids, which allows for reduced solvent emissions while remaining VOC compliant. Micron CF is suitable for use on all boat types and in all waters, making it a versatile choice for owners who move between different conditions or lay-up locations. This listing is for the Green, Gallon size, Interlux part number 5608692. Before applying, the hull surface should be properly prepared: bare fiberglass should be scrubbed with soap and water to remove wax and contamination (confirmed by a water-bead test), then either sanded with 80-grit sandpaper to a flat matte finish and wiped clean of sanding residue, or treated with an appropriate no-sand primer system, before applying a minimum of two coats of antifouling paint.
