Instead of copper, Smart Solution relies on ECONEA (Tralopyril), a pharmaceutical-grade biocide that, within days of application, forms a living surface similar to the natural mucoprotein slime coat that protects fish scales and skin. This slime-like barrier defends against bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens and prevents hard growth from attaching while the boat is idle. The coating's reaction to salt water also produces a slick film that encapsulates the hull, reducing drag and increasing speed once the boat is underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmart Solution is compatible for application directly over most existing antifoulant coatings, simplifying maintenance for boats already painted. It applies by brush, roller, or airless sprayer, with a semi-gloss finish, and is suitable for aluminum, fiberglass, steel, and wood hulls in brackish, fresh, or saltwater. This gallon is packaged in the 4705-Black color option and is Lloyd's Register Certified. It carries EPA Registration No. 44891-19.\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 4705\/GL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black (4705-Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 US Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntifouling Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuprous Oxide Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Material Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, Fiberglass, Steel, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Water Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brackish, Fresh, Saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 267 sq.
