Sea Hawk, a nautical coating brand, has introduced new LOW VOC versions of its Tuff Stuff Premium Blister Protection System[ds_preview]. According to the company the new products comply with rigid VOC limits set by the California Air Quality Management Board and offer marine service professionals and do-it-yourselfers a LOW VOC alternative when applying water barrier or corrosion protection coatings to their vessels. Yielding the same superior results as the original Tuff Stuff products, the new one should be extremely effective for blister protection on fiberglass or as a bilge coating because of its resistance to both water and oil. The product can be used for corrosion protection on most metals below the waterline and for priming any metal surface Sea Hawk stated.
Tuff Stuff LOW VOC is a two-part epoxy system that dries fast, enabling application of a complete barrier system and bottom paint to most vessel hulls in just two days saving boat owners time and money while minimizing VOC emissions to preserve air quality. Its formula uses micro sheet silicate technology where millions of microscopic sheets overlap and build a 100% water barrier that protects the applied surface from water migration. The product should be ideal for priming propellers, shafts, keels, trim tabs, thru hulls and lower drive units. It can be purchased through discerning Sea Hawk authorized distributors and retailers worldwide.

Registration in California positions Biocop TF for sale throughout the Golden State providing marine service professionals and DIYers alike a premium quality coating for maximum multi-season protection against both hard and soft marine growth on the bottoms of their vessels the company stated. Biocop TF shoul be equality effective in fresh, brackish and saltwater. The maximum protection antifouling coating comes backed by Sea Hawk’s One-Year Limited Warranty when applied by a Sea Hawk certified applicator.
