Interlux VC Offshore with Teflon Antifouling Bottom Paint, Black Gallon (MPN 5608361)

VC Offshore with Teflon is a high-performance hard antifouling designed for boat hulls in both saltwater and freshwater. Formulated with Teflon, it dries to a smooth, low-friction, extremely hard film that minimizes drag, resists damage, and cleans up easily. The surface can be burnished to produce one of the smoothest, fastest antifouling finishes available, making it a favorite for performance-minded owners.

As a hard, contact-leaching antifouling, the paint dries to a porous film packed with biocides that leach out on contact with water to prevent fouling growth. Once the biocide is exhausted, the hard, abrasion-resistant film remains on the boat, delivering predictable antifouling performance in all waters and a finish that is hard, scrubbable, and abrasion resistant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VC Offshore with Teflon? VC Offshore with Teflon is a hard antifouling bottom paint for boat hulls. It contains Teflon to create a smooth, low-friction, extremely hard film that minimizes drag and resists fouling.

What color is this paint? This is the Black color of VC Offshore with Teflon. It has a gloss finish.

What size is this container? This is a 1 gallon can, equal to 128 fluid ounces.

How does a hard antifouling work? It is a contact-leaching antifouling. The paint dries to a porous film packed with biocides that leach out on contact with water to prevent fouling growth. Once the biocide is exhausted, the hard film remains on the boat.

Can I haul the boat and relaunch it without repainting? No. Hard antifoulings do not retain their antifouling ability out of the water and cannot be hauled and relaunched without repainting.

What surfaces can this paint be applied to? It can be applied to bare metal, bare wood, bare fiberglass, epoxy coated wood, and previously painted surfaces.

Can this be used in both saltwater and freshwater? Yes. It is formulated for boat hulls in both saltwater and freshwater and provides predictable antifouling performance in all waters.

What does the Teflon do? Teflon creates smooth, low-friction surfaces that minimize drag and an extremely hard coating that resists damage and is easy to clean. The surface can be burnished for the smoothest, fastest antifouling finish.

What kind of finish does it provide? It provides a hard, scrubbable, and abrasion-resistant finish that can be burnished to produce a very smooth, fast surface.

What is the coverage of one gallon? One gallon covers approximately 12 square feet.

Is this paint waterproof? Yes. The cured film is waterproof and water resistant, designed for continuous immersion below the waterline.

What is the manufacturer part number? The manufacturer part number is 5608361.
