Veneziani Raffaello Next Antifouling 2.5Lt Light Blue .601 N709473COL385

Veneziani Raffaello Next Antifouling 2.5Lt Light Blue .601

Premium hydrophilic-matrix antifouling paint with high copper content and carbon added for excellent performances. Effective in warm and temperate seawater, brackish and fresh water. Raffaello is self-polishing with progressive solubility and therefore suitable for medium-speed motor boats as well as for sailboats. The thickness of this antifouling is reduced progressively during service, avoiding an excessive increase of the antifouling layer also after the application of several coats.
It complies with the IMO (AFS/CONF/26) antifouling requirements and contains active substances according to the BPR Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 528/2012).
Only the white Raffaello is suitable for aluminium light alloy hulls.

Application and use
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces with old antifouling
Good condition: remove contaminants and any vegetation through high pressure wash with fresh water.
Sanding with 120-180 grain paper. If the old antifouling is unknown or of a different nature apply a coat of an insulator like Ticoprene AL.
Bad conditions: remove contaminants, possibly vegetation and non-adherent material through high pressure wash with fresh water. Sanding with 80-120 grain paper or with a slight sandblasting, paying attention not to damage the paint system underneath the old antifouling. Apply coat of ADHERPOX or TICOPRENE AL primer onto the entire treated area before proceeding with the antifouling application.
New surfaces or brought to new
Fiberglass: Degrease the surface to be treated with solvent or with a suitable detergent. Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease. All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Sandpaper with abrasive paper no. P180 - P220 and apply the primer onto the treated surface. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
Steel: Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease (in case washing with the specific solvent). All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Perform a sandblasting treatment of grade Sa 2½ or, after consultation with our technicians, mechanical cleaning degree St 3.
Overcoat  with  the  proper  primer  the  treated  metal  before  oxidizing  principles  are  present.
Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
Lead: Wash with fresh water and remove any traces of oil and grease (in case washing with the specific solvent). All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Waxing with large grain disks (mechanical cleaning) the surface layer of metal must be completely and uniformly renewed, removing any oxidation residue and coated with the primer provided on the same day of preparation. Be careful not to exceed the incision. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
New/bare wood: The moisture content of the support must not exceed 18%. All surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Sandpaper with paper no. P80 - P120. Before proceeding with the application of the products, blow with clean and dry air to remove any residual sanding and dirt.
