Product Details

Interlux Pacifica Plus is a copper-free, environmentally friendly bottom paint with proven growth fighting power. This dual biocide antifouling paint combines Biolux slime blocker and Econea, a metal-free antifouling agent that blocks the growth of shell fouling barnacles, zebra mussels and other aquatic organisms.

The Econea paint film erodes over time to continually expose fresh antifouling agent. This biodegradable degradation won't harm the environment and lessens paint buildup for easy overcoating next season. Additionally, since Econea is not metal based, it can be used on and around underwater metals such as aluminum hulls, outdrives and running gear with less potential for galvanic corrosion.

This antifouling bottom paint is suited for use on all boats, including fiberglass, aluminum, wood, and steel, and is approved for use in all waters. Since the performance of the product is directly related to the amount of paint applied (thin film thickness could lead to premature fouling), Interlux recommends applying a 2 coat minimum for best results. Pacifica Plus can be applied using either a brush or roller.

Features:
  • Copper free ablative antifouling
  • Contains Econea to control shell growth
  • Controlled release of biocide to prevent fouling
  • Clean, crisp, bright colors
  • Fast dry
  • High solids/ Low VOC

Preperation

Bare Aluminum:
Sand with medium grade emery cloth to a bright metal finish. Wipe clean and apply a very thing coat of Viny-Lux Primewash 353/354. Prime with InterProtect 2000E/2001E. Viny-Lux Primewash can be omitted on sandblasted aluminum if priming with InterProtect is done on the same day as blasting.

Factory finished aluminum:
Prime with Primocon.

Bare fiberglass (polyester or vinylester)
Bare fiberglass must be properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling paint. Start by scrubbing the surface thouroughly with soap and water using a stiff brush, then rinse with water. Wipe a small area witha clean rag that has been wetted with Firberglass Solvent Wash 202. While the surface is still wet, wipe with a clean, dry rag. Continue until the entire surface has been cleaned.

  • With the No Sand System, apply one thin, continuous coat of Interlux Fiberglass No-Sand Primer.
  • With the Sanding System, sand with 80 grade paper, remove sanding residue and then wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.

Bare Wood
Sand with 80 grade paper. Clean with Special Thinner 216. Apply first coat reduced 10% with Special Thinner 216. If necessary, fill seams with Seam Compound Brown 30.

  • If the wood was previously painted and still in good condition, rinse with fresh water and allow surface to dry. Abrade with 80-grit sandpaper and remove the residue by wiping clean with Special Thinner 216.
  • If the wood was previously painted and is in poor condition, remove all old antifouling paint using Interstrip 299E, followed by sanding and wiping clean with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.


Application

Mixing and thinning instructions:
Shake and mix well. Stir continuously while using. Thin only when necessary with Interlux Brush Ease 433 or Special Thinner 216 (not to exceed 10% by volume).

Awesome
By Michael from Dagsboro, Delaware

This is the only paint my dealer uses. For 10 years now, I've never had barnacles on my pontoon. Interlux always makes a great boat paint.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Complete waste of money
By Mark BOLLE from Martinique

I applied this product in Chaguarama's Trinidad and BEFORE I could reach Martinique the whole boat was covered in growth. Both slime, grass and poks. Withing two months of sailing this products completely failed. It is still on there but it does not work AT ALL. Aluminium hull, previous product used: Trilux 33 (much better)

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Pleased with Interlux and Jamestown Distributors
By The Angry Crab from Sea Isle City, NJ

Verified Purchase

Great product, great price, quick delivery, and excellent packaging. My only con is that I had to pay a boat yard to apply it. Any ideas on how to get a 25' tritoon (3 pontoons) off of the trailer for painting?

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
