Brand: Interlux

Located in: Paints, Bottom Paint

Fiberglass Bottomkote provides premium seasonal antifouling protection in moderate to heavy fouling areas from algae, slime, barnacles, and zebra mussels. It is compatible with (and can be applied over) other antifouling paint as long as that coating is in acceptable condition. 'ACT' stands for Interlux's Ablative Copolymer Technology, which constantly exposes fresh biocide for anti-fouling protection throughout the season. ACT eliminates the problem of old coating building and the associated need for heavy sanding to remove.

Comments about Interlux Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT with Irgarol:

This is the product they advertise - but what you get is the new interlux product that is replacing Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT which is what I ordered. The 'new' product has about 1/2 of the copper as the old and 30% more 'inert' ingredients. I have yet to apply it to my Newport 30 but will write a review when I use it.

Comments about Interlux Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT with Irgarol:

This bottom paint was easy to roll on my sailboat bottom and also easy to brush in between my rudder and the hull. The color looks great and there are no overlaps. A great replacement for Bottomkote Classic.

Comments about Interlux Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT with Irgarol:

Still the standard for bottom paint. If you run 100 to 200 hours a year it will leave a protective coat just thin enough for the next year's application without much sanding. High CU content avoids slime buildup.

Comments about Interlux Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote ACT with Irgarol:

I give my boat 2 coats every spring before launch. No scraping at haul out, as the pressure from a garden hose cleans up the bottom nicely. The paint applies evenly over the previous years paint with a light sanding and solvent wipe. I don't like the fact that the paint has almost doubled in price in four years!
