Micron CSC is the multi-season side of the Interlux ablative range. The copper-copolymer chemistry releases biocide at a controlled rate as the film polishes away, so the coating keeps working when the boat sits and when it hauls out and goes back in. Low build-up means the bottom does not turn into a sanding project after a few seasons.

  • Copper-copolymer ablative with controlled-solubility biocide release
  • Self-polishing, so paint build-up stays low season over season
  • For fiberglass, wood and properly primed steel or lead below the waterline
  • Not for aluminum hulls or drives
  • Typically 2 to 3 full coats with an extra stripe coat on high-wear areas
  • Blue, green, red, black and Shark White in quart, gallon and 2 gallon case

Confirm compatibility with the existing bottom paint using Interlux's chart before you recoat. Old paint has to be aged, tightly adhered and sound.

  • Substrates: Fiberglass, wood, and properly primed steel or lead below the waterline (not for aluminum hulls or drives).
  • Existing antifouling: Confirm compatibility with the Interlux antifouling compatibility chart. The existing paint must be aged, tightly adhered, and in good condition.
  • Coats: Typically 2–3 full coats are recommended, with an extra stripe coat on high-wear areas such as the waterline, chines, rudders, and leading edges.
  • Methods: Apply by brush, roller, or spray using equipment suitable for solvent-based bottom paints, following all safety and ventilation guidelines.
  • Multi-season ablative protection: Micron Technology provides long-lasting defense against a wide range of fouling in all water types when applied at the recommended film thickness.
  • Copper-copolymer formula: Uses a controlled-solubility copolymer with cuprous oxide to maintain an active biocide layer at the paint surface throughout the season.
  • Self-polishing, low build-up: The coating gradually erodes in a controlled way, like a bar of soap, helping prevent excessive paint build-up and reducing the amount of sanding needed at recoat.
  • Haul and relaunch flexibility: Micron CSC can be hauled for storage and relaunched later without losing effectiveness, provided the film is in good condition and properly cleaned before going back in the water.
  • Smoother, more efficient hull: The polishing action helps the bottom remain smooth, which can improve speed and fuel efficiency compared to rough or heavily built-up coatings.
  • Versatile application: Can be applied by brush, roller, or spray over most existing antifouling paints that are in sound condition, following the Interlux compatibility guidelines.
  • Scrub the bottom to remove slime, salts, and loose growth, then rinse and allow to dry.
  • Lightly sand with the recommended grit if required to create a smooth, dull surface.
  • Remove sanding residue and apply the recommended number of coats of Micron CSC.
  • Remove loose, flaking, or excessively built-up antifouling by appropriate methods (chemical stripper, sanding, or blasting as recommended for the substrate).
  • Once the substrate is clean and sound, follow the bare fiberglass, bare wood, or primed metal system specified by Interlux before applying Micron CSC.
