VINIKOR-marin AF/S — tin-free self-polishing antifouling enamel
Self-polishing antifouling enamel for ships with an unrestricted navigation area and fixed structures in zones of high fouling activity.

A dual-action epoxy primer: zinc phosphate works as a corrosion inhibitor, while micaceous iron oxide creates a barrier effect. High-build and fast-drying, it is particularly recommended for shop application on steel structures and bridges, while also allowing painting at air temperatures down to −10 °C. It is used in environments of categories C1–C5, CX and Im3 per GOST 34667 in all macroclimatic regions (from −60 °C); it works on its own or under IZOLEP-mio, POLITON-UR (UV), VINIKOR-62, and also in certified systems with PLAMCOR fire protection.
