Description
Reformulated to give improved protection and a brighter colour, Trilux 33 is a high performance brightly coloured antifouling.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Suitable for all types of construction, including aluminium, Trilux 33 now has a lower VOC content that helps reduce environmental solvent emissions.
APPLICATION AND USE
Preparation MAJOR REFURBISHMENT The first coat of Trilux 33 should always be applied over a recommended primer system. The primer surface should be dry and free of all contaminants (oil, grease, salt etc) and overcoated with Trilux 33 within the overcoating interval specified for the primer.
REPAIR and UPGRADING APPROVED SYSTEMS: Degrease the surface. Clean the entire area with controlled high pressure washing (3000 psi./211 bar). Repair corroded areas with the recommended anticorrosive primer system (Primocon).
PRIMING: Preparation tips for natural substrates are set out in the relevant primer datasheet.
NATURAL GRP: Gelshield 200 for osmosis protection, or Primocon.
STEEL/IRON: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
LEAD: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
WOOD: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
ALUMINIUM/ALLOY: Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.
Method: Ensure the area is clean and dry. Apply Trilux 33 within the overcoating intervals specified by the primer. Apply an extra stripe coat in areas of high wear such as rudders, sterndrives, keels and walk areas. Note: Maximum time to Immersion is 1 month. If coating is left for more than 1 month, the surface should be high pressure fresh water washed or wet abraded using 180-240 grade paper prior to immersion.
Useful tips: Mixing: Stir well before use.
Thinner Thinners No.3
Thinning is not recommended. Use in exceptional circumstances only. For example, extremes of weather.
Cleaner Thinners No.3
Airless Spray Pressure: 176-210 bar. Tip Size: 2180. – For professional use ONLY.
Other: It is important to apply the product quantity calculated on the basis of the spreading rate, and if necessary with an extra coat. It is also important to respect the thicknesses as advised to obtain the best results.
Some Important Points: If Trilux 33 is exposed for any period of time, e.g. over the winter, it must be high pressure fresh water washed before being immersed. Product temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F.
Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F.
Substrate temperature should be 3°C/5°F above dew point and maximum 35°C/95°F.
Compatibility/Substrates: Suitable for use on all substrates including suitably primed aluminium/ alloy and zinc-plated metals. Can be applied directly over most types of antifoulings, provided they are in sound condition. Prime non-antifoulings with Primocon, Intertuf 203 or Interprotect. For further details on compatibility consult International Technical Representatives.
