It uses Biolux Slime Blocking Technology to combat slime buildup and Econea to ward off barnacles and zebra mussels. As a polishing (ablative) antifouling paint, Micron CF wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, which reduces paint film build-up over repeated applications while its self-smoothing characteristics lower hull friction and improve fuel efficiency. It is a high-solids formulation with reduced solvent emissions and is VOC compliant, and it is suitable for use on all boats in all waters. This gallon (128 fluid ounce) container is finished in Shell White with a gloss finish and covers approximately 175 square feet per gallon. Micron CF can be applied over a properly prepared bare fiberglass hull, either through a no-sand system (using Fiberglass No Sand Primer in place of InterProtect 2000E) or a traditional sanding system using 80-grit sandpaper and Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 to remove sanding residue before applying a minimum of two coats. It is also compatible for overcoating with other Interlux antifouling lines including Micron Extra, Micron CSC, Fiberglass Bottomkote, Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT, Bottomkote, Bottomkote XXX, Ultra, Ultra-Kote, Tri-Lux II, and Trilux 33.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
