Performance & Technical Specs

Formulated to handle varying water conditions, Bottomkote-CA provides a durable, matte finish that optimizes hull efficiency.

• Active Defense: Contains high-purity cuprous oxide (42.79%) for superior resistance against aggressive marine growth.

• Water Type Versatility: Engineered for peak performance in saltwater, freshwater, and brackish environments.

• Flexible Application: Unique fast-drying epoxy-resin base allows for application in cooler weather—effective in temperatures as low as 5°C (41°F).

• Substrate Compatibility: Formulated for use below the waterline on fiberglass (GRP), wood, and properly primed steel hulls.

• Application & Coverage: Recommended for two-coat brush or roller application, delivering an exceptionally smooth finish. Practical coverage is approximately 400–500 sq. ft. per gallon.

Key Operational Benefits

1. Eliminates Paint Buildup: Because the coating self-polishes at a controlled rate, it prevents the accumulation of old, spent layers of paint.

2. No Heavy Sanding Required: Minimizes labor during spring prep by drastically reducing the need for heavy, aggressive sanding prior to recoating.

3. High Compatibility: Can be applied directly over most existing, tightly adhered hard or ablative bottom paints, making seasonal switch-overs hassle-free.

⚠️ Application Restriction: This product is not suitable for use on aluminum hulls or outdrives, as the high copper content will cause destructive galvanic corrosion.
