It uses a modern biocide package combined with a self-polishing polymer binder, so the paint wears away in a controlled manner as the boat moves through the water, continually exposing fresh biocide and reducing the fouling-release buildup that can occur with hard, non-ablative paints. The engineered biocide release is designed to deliver protection against marine growth in harsh marine environments comparable to older tin-based formulas, without relying on tin as the active ingredient. It is registered under EPA # 44891-15.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gallon is finished in black with a semi-gloss appearance and is intended for outdoor use on fiberglass boat hulls. Because it is a self-polishing, ablative formula, it is best suited to boats that see regular use, which helps the paint wear evenly season over season. It is packaged in a standard 1-gallon can for brush, roller, or spray application below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea Hawk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1205-1\/GL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ablative Bottom Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEPA Registration Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44891-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-based\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor\/Outdoor Usage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Uses For Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 811577010565\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of antifouling paint is Sea Hawk Biocop TF?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea Hawk Biocop TF (part number 1205-1\/GL) is a water-based, ablative self-polishing antifouling bottom paint, meaning it wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water to keep exposing fresh biocide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Biocop TF tin-based?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Biocop TF was developed as an alternative to tin-based antifouling paints, using a newer biocide and polymer binder system instead of tin, while aiming to match the protection level of tin-based formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and finish does this paint come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e This gallon of Sea Hawk Biocop TF (1205-1\/GL) is black with a semi-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does a gallon of Biocop TF weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e A gallon can of Sea Hawk Biocop TF weighs 16.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat surfaces is Biocop TF recommended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Biocop TF is recommended for use on fiberglass surfaces and is intended for outdoor, below-waterline marine application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an eco-friendly antifouling paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea Hawk lists Biocop TF as an eco-friendly, water-based formula, which is part of why it was developed as an alternative to older tin-based antifouling paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat EPA registration number is associated with this product?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea Hawk Biocop TF Black is registered under EPA #
