Trilux 33 Antifouling Paint
Slow polishing system makes it suitable for fast, active craft as polish-through at high speeds is avoided
Bright-colored, slow-polishing antifouling, Trilux 33 is formulated to provide safe, effective protection for all surfaces, and especially aluminum boats, outdrives & outboards. Replacing Trilux and Micron 33, Trilux 33 is enhanced by the addition of booster technology in the form of Biolux. Biolux is a system that combines advanced biocides with customized paint resin technology to optimize biocide release and fouling prevention.
Trilux 33 is for use below the waterline on underwater boat hulls and parts in fresh, salt and brackish water and can be brush or roller applied. Spray application is recommended only for professional applicators who have all of the proper safety equipment including a full-face shield.
Not for sale in California and in States where prohibited by law.

Comments about Interlux Trilux 33 Antifouling Paint:
Beats the spray version hands down! I have professional spray equipment, but you could do a bang-up job with a brush and a little 216 thinner. This is far more economical than buying the Trilux in a spray can. You are able to put on a thicker coat, which seems to last longer and stays more effective against growth. The best anti-foulant for underwater metal I've used in over 30 years.
