Awlgrip is launching an updated formula of AWLSTAR® Gold Label Antifouling at the Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam, 15th-17th November. Using the latest boosters against fouling growth, this copper-based formulation is now further optimised to act as a fouling deterrent for cruising vessels in warm and cold waters.
The AWLSTAR Gold Label colours have also been improved and furthermore, can be sprayed at a high film thickness without any runs or sags. The new formulation is available in 1 gallon and 15lt units. It is designed to be applied over HULL-GARD Epoxy Primer. This ensures a strong bond between the two coatings, and provides an epoxy-based water barrier that can be directly applied to clean, prepared hulls.
To provide a built-in indicator of when AWLSTAR® Gold Label needs to be replenished, AWLGRIP® recommends that the first coat be applied in a different colour from the remaining coats. It will be time to renew as soon as this layer starts showing through. Self-polishing AWLSTAR® Gold Label is recommended for use on GRP, steel and wood. Not to be used on Aluminium. AWLSTAR Aluminium Label antifouling is available for this purpose.
