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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interlux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5608361\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e VC Offshore with Teflon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard antifouling (contact leaching), Teflon modified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Gallon (128 fl oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 square feet per gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable Surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bare metal, bare wood, bare fiberglass, epoxy coated wood, and previously painted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat hulls, saltwater and freshwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for boat hulls below the waterline.
