Bicop TF was developed as an alternative to tin-based antifouling paints to stand up to the harshest marine environments. The new Dual biocide technology and groundbreaking polymer binder system, PL3, produces a biocide that leaves no harmful effects on the environment. Safe for salt or fresh water on boats of all sizes, Biocop TF is a top performer among bottom paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforms in fresh or saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-Season performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced dual-biocide PL3 release technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarder self polishing boosted ablative antifoulant for longer life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for vessels of all sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLloyd's Register certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"classyunicodedone\"\u003eHow to Apply Sea Hawk Biocop TF Bottom Paint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea Hawk Biocop TF Bottom Paint is easily applied by brush, roller, or spray. When rolling, use only a high-quality short nap 3\/8” roller cover. Apply using thin coats. For the smoothest possible finish, thin the paint approximately 10% using water. Biocop TF has a tendency for settling to occur, especially if the paint has been on the shelf for several months. Thoroughly mix the paint before using. Before using, check the sides and bottom of the can to make sure all the pigment has been mixed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e:  320 Sq Ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brush, Roller, Airless Sprayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Roller Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8” Nap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet Film Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.0 mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Film Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50° F Min\/ 95° F Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinner\u003c\/strong\u003e: If necessary, maximum 10% with Sea Hawk 2033, 2035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSurface Preparation and Application\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreviously Painted Surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown Compatibility of existing antifoulant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower wash to remove any loose paint or other contaminants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScuff sand with 80 grit sandpaper, remove all residue and let dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply minimum 2 coats of Biocop TF.
