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 high-build epoxy enamel on an aliphatic polyamine hardener, pigmented with micaceous iron oxide, with a semi-matt grey or mustard surface. In a system it is the intermediate coat between TSINEP, TSVES, IZOLEP-primer primers and POLITON-UR topcoat enamels; where there is no intense solar radiation it can also be the topcoat. It is suitable for bridges, oil and gas, marine, chemical and power facilities in all macroclimatic regions (from −60 °C), withstands spills of petroleum products, solutions of salts, acids and alkalis, and is applied down to −10 °C.
