<p>Bottom painting has historically been a messy endeavor. Noxious cleaning solvents were to dewax and clean the hull prior to painting, nuisance dust covered whoever had to sand the bottom, and the solvent based paints of past were messing and foul smelling. The folks at Pettit Paint offer a line of easy to use products that are gentle on the environment, the applicator (you), and most importantly, they work well on your boat!
<p>By removing the heavy metals in the paint film, and replacing them with more environmentally friendly additives, Pettit's Clean Core Technology can reduce the amount of heavy metals released into our waters by up to 90%. These new additives have been specially formulated to provide a more "finetuned" and consistent release of the biocides from the paint film. This results in a more effective bottom paint that requires lower biocide levels to deliver full antifouling protection. <p><img SRC="http://www.iboats.com/mall_marketing/newsletter/feb16/images/art3-1.jpg" border="0" />
<p>"Bio Blue 92" is a solvent free surface prep solution used to clean surfaces prior to painting. It performs two essential functions that allow coating systems to adhere properly. On a new boat, it removes mold release agents, waxes and other contamination, and mechanically etches the surface. When used in conjunction with Hydrocoat antifouling paints or Pettit Protect epoxy primer, it eliminates the need to sand the surface prior to painting. Bio Blue 92 rolls onto a small area, and scrub with a coarse scrub pad. Hose off the residue, and as long as the surface is frosty in appearance, and water doesn't bead, the surface is ready for coating. <p>Watch this short video to see how easy it is to apply and how well it works:

<p>After the hull is clean you'll want to apply the bottom paint shortly after you're done to avoid allowing any contaminants to land back on all your hard work. Pettit's water-dispersed ablative technology combines outstanding antifouling protection with ease of application. Their formula uses water to replace the harsh, smelly solvents found in conventional bottom paints. This means a significant reduction in solvent emissions into our atmosphere and exposure to applicators (you and your lungs). You can safely paint indoors without gassing everyone out of the building, and they can apply the product without a respirator. Rolling it on is easy and trouble-free, and clean-up requires only soap and water. No sanding is required for recoating as the water based ablative technology resists buildup and adheres tenaciously to itself. <p><img SRC="http://www.iboats.com/mall_marketing/newsletter/feb16/images/art3-2.jpg" border="0" />

<p>Another great Pettit bottom paint is "Econea". This non-metal organic biocide offers unsurpassed protection at very low concentrations. In fact, tests show that antifoulants made with 5% Econea are as effective as those made with 50% copper. Econea's appeal to boating enthusiasts and environmentalists alike is its non-metal formulation, which allows for a wide variety of paint colors, including white, bright colors and light shades. Econea is non-corrosive to metals and is safe for use on aluminum and all other underwater metals. That being said, you still must avoid painting over your anodes with any bottom paint. <p>By removing the heavy metals in the paint film, and replacing them with more environmentally friendly additives, Pettit's Clean Core Technology can reduce the amount of heavy metals released into our waters by up to 90%.
