Micron® Extra Antifouling Paint
Give your boat multi-season protection against hard and soft growth with Micron Extra with Biolux™.
Self-polishing Micron Extra combines the slime blocking power of Biolux™ with cuprous oxide to provide long-lasting, full-spectrum defense against hard and soft growth. A key feature of Micron Extra is "controlled wearing", which results in the constant, controlled delivery of biocides from freshly exposed paint film surface and assures consistent, unbroken antifouling performance.
Micron Extra retains its antifouling effectiveness when hauled, which means that you can pull your boat in the fall, store it out of the water for the winter and relaunch in the spring without a need to repaint. The longevity of Micron Extra is related to the amount of paint applied. Can be applied over tightly adhered, sound, hard, conventional antifouling paints after thorough sanding.
Key Features
- Multi-season antifouling protection with no paint build-up
- Biolux™ technology prevents hard and soft growth
- Boats can be stored during the winter and relaunched in the spring without loss of antifouling effectiveness

Another way to determine bottom paint quantity is to estimate the approximate surface area of the hull below the waterline, using the following formula:
Length x Beam x .75 = Approximate underwater surface area in square feet.
Each paint has a “theoretical coverage” area, but most paints require at least two coats, so you can expect actual coverage to be no greater than half of the theoretical value.
