Sea Hawk Biocop TF Red Ablative Antifouling Bottom Paint, Gallon (1201-1/GL)
Sea Hawk Biocop TF Red is an ablative antifouling bottom paint from the 1200-1 Series, formulated as an alternative to tin-based paints for boats operating in salt or fresh water. It uses Sea Hawk's PL3 polymer binder, an engineered biocide system designed to provide dual-biocide protection against fouling in harsh marine environments while reducing environmental impact compared to traditional tin-based formulations. As an ablative paint, the coating wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, continuously exposing fresh biocide to deter growth over the season.
This paint is suited to boats of all sizes and is supplied in a red color, packaged one gallon per container. It carries EPA registration number 44891-15, confirming it as a registered antifouling product. Sea Hawk Biocop TF Red is intended for use on boat hulls below the waterline to control barnacle, algae, and other marine growth buildup.
