Micron Technology was first introduced to the industry in the early 80's and has evolved into the class leading antifouling paints. \u003cbr\u003e- Longest lasting, multi-season ability to haul and re-launch without repainting \u003cbr\u003e- Controlled polishing like a bar of soap reduces paint build up, eliminating the need for sanding \u003cbr\u003e- Micron Technology polishes to a smoother surface than hard antifoulings - maximizing fuel savings \u003cbr\u003e- Unlike old fashion high copper bottom paints, Micron uses less copper more efficiently for longest lasting antifouling protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicron Technology vs old fashioned hard antifoulings\u003cbr\u003eAfter many years of using old fashioned hard high copper bottom paints, the paint film continues to build up, become brittle, and starts to crack and flake off. Micron Technology antifoulings polish at a controlled rate and therefore will never build up. It is this controlled polishing that enables Micron to be used on all boats, in all waters, and at all times! No paint build up means that you will never have to remove old layers of Micron and spend precious hours or money each time you want to repaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicron Technology and fuel savings\u003cbr\u003eThere's another added benefit to controlled polishing: fuel savings! The roughness caused by old fashioned hard high copper bottom paints creates extra drag on boat bottoms requiring the use of more horsepower. With extra horsepower comes extra fuel consumption, extra fuel consumption means more money at the fuel pump. There is only one way to ensure that the bottom is smooth and that is to choose Micron Technology. Micron Technology antifouling polishes at a controlled rate leaving your bottom smooth - remember the smoother the bottom paint, the lower the resistance; the lower the surface resistance the better the fuel economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab_label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Apply Micron CF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab_content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPLICATION DATA METHOD\u003c\/strong\u003e: Airless Spray, Brush, Conventional Spray, Roller  \u003cem\u003eDO NOT SPRAY\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewithout following proper safety procedures for spray application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNUMBER OF COATS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRY FILM THICKNESS PER COAT: \u003c\/strong\u003e2 mils (3 wet mils)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOVERAGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 518 sq. ft\/gal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPLICATION TEMP:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e41°F Min. \/ 95°F Max.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHINNER:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSpecial Thinner 216\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"Dry Times\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRY TIMES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo Touch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo Recoat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo Launch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 HR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn Good Condition with Pacifica or Trilux 33: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper.

This will prevent delamination of the antifouling paint. Begin by scrubbing the surface thoroughly with a stiff brush using soap and water to remove loose dirt and contamination. Flush with fresh water to remove the soap residue and allow to dry. Remove mold release wax using one of the following Interlux products, Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 or Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 following the product label instructions. To be certain the contamination has been removed, run water over the surface. If the water beads up or separates, repeat cleaning process. When the water sheets off, all contamination has been removed. After the surface has been properly cleaned, follow one of the application systems below. No Sand System - Apply one thin, continuous coat of Interprotect 2000E or Fiberglass No-Sand Primer. Sanding System - Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper.
