The Hydrocoat name has been synonymous with groundbreaking, waterborne, marine ablative technology for almost 20 years. Pettit is excited to launch the latest product in the Hydrocoat lineup, Hydrocoat Eco, which is already shattering the perceptions of what an antifouling paint can be.
Hydrocoat Eco incorporates Pettit’s exclusive self-polishing, water-based, ablative technology with an organic biocide, Econea. By utilizing the highest level available of this metal-free biocide, in combination with a slime fighting inhibitor, Hydrocoat Eco promises to provide unprecedented multi-season protection. Pettit’s innovative technology replaces the harsh solvents found in most bottom paints with water. This formula provides the user with an easier application, soap and water cleanup, and no heavy solvent smell.
Hydrocoat Eco is self-polishing; the paint film wears away with use, eliminating paint buildup and the need for sanding. This formula is also copper-free, making it compatible over almost all bottom paints and safe for use on all substrates, including aluminum. With no copper to cause galvanic corrosion issues, Hydrocoat Eco is the perfect choice for bronze IPS and jet drives, outdrives and outboard motors.
Hydrocoat Eco is available in five colors, white, blue, red, green and black, and is offered in quarts and gallons throughout the United States at fine marine supply stores and boatyards. Application can easily be done with a brush, roller, or spray. (www.pettitpaint.com)
