Pettit Paint Neptune HRT Black Gallon Water-Based Antifouling Bottom Paint, Hybrid Reactive Technology

Neptune HRT from Pettit Paint is a water-based antifouling bottom paint built with Hybrid Reactive Technology, a paint film engineered to stand up to the demands of the marine environment without building up over multiple seasons. This Black Gallon container is a seasonal antifouling formulated to deliver dependable underwater protection at an affordable price, with a smooth, durable finish that can withstand beaching, trailering, and season-long abuse. Hybrid Reactive Technology uses high density biocide utilization to make biocide use more effective, while film modifiers reduce yearly buildup, keep color consistent, and lower overall weight compared to traditional antifouling paints, all while leaving a smoother finish.

Application is straightforward: Neptune HRT cleans up with soap and water, has no strong solvent smell, and does not require sanding between coats, which saves time and labor on haul-out day. Its low VOC formulation makes it a good fit for marinas operating under VOC restrictions. Neptune HRT can be applied directly over most previously painted antifouling surfaces once properly prepared, and it can be applied by brush, roller, or spray onto fiberglass, wood, and properly primed steel hulls.
