Krypton Copper-Free Boat Bottom Paint

COPPER-FREE ANTIFOULING PAINT WITH BRIGHT COLORS TotalBoat Krypton is a copper-free ablative bottom paint that features a biodegradable organic biocide paired with zinc to prevent barnacles, slime, algae, and weeds while delivering brighter, more vibrant colors below the waterline. This paint is ideal for use in waters with strict environmental regulations or where the use of copper antifoulings is not permitted. Krypton fights hard and soft growth on fiberglass, wood, steel, aluminum, cast iron, and on previously painted surfaces. Because it contains no copper, this antifouling paint is suitable for use on aluminum boats, pontoons, outdrives, trim tabs, and other underwater metals where traditional copper-based paints can cause galvanic corrosion. Highly effective on recreational power and sailboats in most fouling conditions and all waters, Krypton’s ablative finish gradually wears away as the boat moves through the water to continuously expose fresh biocide for reliable single-season protection with reduced paint buildup while minimizing paint build-up. EASY APPLICATION FOR DIY BOATERS AND PROFESSIONAL PAINTERS Krypton delivers smooth, even coverage with dependable results. Apply by brush, roller, or spray to properly prepared bare or previously painted hulls. Use a 3/16"" nap solvent-safe roller for best coverage and a foam or chip brush for detail areas and tight spaces. This bottom paint can be thinned up to 10% using TotalBoat Brushing Thinner 100 or Spray Thinner 101 depending on weather conditions and application method.  Not sure how much boat bottom paint you’ll need?

FLEXIBLE LAUNCH WINDOWS FOR SEASONAL BOATERS Depending on temperature and humidity, you can apply a second coat in as little as 1 hour. For best results, apply between 50-90°F with humidity below 90%. Not launching immediately after painting? Unlike many antifouling paints with strict launch windows, Krypton features no maximum dry time before launch so you can prep and paint ahead of schedule without losing antifouling effectiveness.
