Alumipaint AF is an antifouling paint specifically formulated for aluminum and pontoon boats. Aluminum or pontoon boats used in salt or brackish water require protection from fouling organisms like algae, barnacles, mussels, slime, and weeds just like’ steel, fiberglass or wooden boats. Alternatively, traditional bottom paints containing cuprous oxide (copper) are problematic because of the electrolysis that occurs when copper contacts aluminum. Manufacturers, boatyards, and DIY boat owners alike have struggled to find an effective replacement for now-banned TBT (tin) based paints.
Alumipaint’s potent blend of Econea and Zinc is an environmentally friendly biocide 100% compatible with all aluminum surfaces. It is usually perfect to be used on outdrives and running gear to minimize galvanic corrosion risks. Compare to Pettit Pontoon Pro or Interlux Pacfica Plus. You get superior coverage and durability with 1 to 2 coats. Simply paint over a in the past painted surface that is in good condition or over a properly primed bare aluminum surface. Proper preparation and priming of bare aluminum is critical for paint performance and to prevent corrosion. Unprotected aluminum corrodes impulsively in salt or brackish waters.
