importance ofantifoulingis if the growth underneaththe hull continuesto build up,so does your fuel

Dekro Paints was requestedto assist witha factory floor coated with epoxycoatings that failed
throughout. Our inspectionsrevealedinadequate surface preparationas well as the absence ofa
primer coating. Our recommendationswere to diamond grindthe entire floor and apply a surface
tolerant epoxy(Bannoh 500) prior to over coating with Epicon CS611 Finish.
Bannoh 500 is a multi-purpose primer,whichgivesexcellentphysical propertiessuchas toughness,
abrasion resistance and adhesion,etc., and has excellentflexibility,resistance towaterand cathodic
protection.
