Biocop TF Advanced Dual-Biocide Protection

Biocop TF was developed as an alternative to tin-based antifouling paints to protect against the harshest marine environments and provide maximum protection. A new dual-biocide technology and revolutionary polymer binder system “PL3” produces an engineered biocide that leaves no harmful effects on the environment. Biocop TF is considered the top performer among antifouling paints and is safe in salt or fresh water on boats of all sizes.

Benefits of Biocop TF

  1. Ablative is a new technology compared to OLD school hard modified epoxy ones
  2. We use ROSIN in our paints (natural resin from trees), this provides a much harder finish
  3. Bottoms can be wiped without fear of removing the paint
  4. Boats can remain on the hard for as long as necessary whereas hard paints can degrade in as little as 72 hours
  5. Premium paints (Biocop TF and Colorkote) are dual and triple biocide formulations. Copper fights hard growth ( barnacles) and secondary biocides fight the soft growth (algae, metic)
  6. Our ablative paints can be used on a 5kt sailboat as well as on a 45 knot speedboat.
  7. Biocop TF and Colorkote are #1 choices for mega yachts in the USA.
  8. Biocop TF comes in a great variety of colours, including dark blue, teal and grey while Colorkote can be mixed to create any desired colour

Ablative and self-polishing paint is known for being more efficient because there is a higher and longer delivery of biocide compared to hard antifouling paint. Ablating is the process of how the paint wears away after time which will prevent organisms from attaching to the hull. That is why the more coats of ablative paint you apply, the longer it will be between painting periods. Three types of ablative paints that wear away in entirely different ways are controlled solubility copolymer, self-polishing, and hybrid ablative paint. All antifouling paints will work in certain conditions, but what works well in your harbour really depends on water temp, current, freshwater outflows, and how often you use your boat

BIOCOP TF Slime-Reducing Additive FAQs:

1. How much BIOCOP TF additive can be added to a gallon of antifouling paint?
Answer: One pint of BIOCOP TF per gallon is the optimum ratio.

2. What is the correct way to blend the BIOCOP TF additive into a gallon of paint?
Answer: Both the Biocop TF additive and the copper-based paint you are adding it to need to be mixed first on a shaker and then added to a separate container large enough to accommodate 1.125 gallons (gallon + pint) and stirred by hand until uniform.

3. Will there be a colour change to my bottom paint if BIOCOP TF additive is added?
Answer: BIOCOP TF additive comes in Gray, Red, Blue and Black. If your antifouling paint is not Red, Blue or Black, use the Gray which, in most cases, will only slightly lighten your antifouling colour because it is a neutral shade of grey. When the entire hull is painted, the color difference is virtually indistinguishable.

4. Can the paint be thinned after the BIOCOP TF additive has been added?
Answer: Yes, the entire mixture can be thinned up to 10% using Sea Hawk 2033 or 2035 Reducers if necessary as increased viscosity may occur in warm weather.

5. What is the window for application after adding the BIOCOP TF additive to antifoulant paint?
Answer: The window of application is 12 hours maximum. However, it is recommended to mix and apply immediately for optimum results.

6. Will the antifouling thickness requirements change when adding BIOCOP TF additive?
Answer: No. Follow the thickness requirements for the antifouling as stated on label and TDS. All TDS sheets are available on the Sea Hawk website at: www.SeaHawkPaints.com

7. Is it recommended to use the BIOCOP TF additive in all coats of antifouling being applied to the boat hull?
Answer: Yes, adding BIOCOP TF to all coats of antifouling paint application ensures uniform antifouling agent release over time as your bottom paint wears with use.
