Mission Bay CSF Ablative Antifouling Paint

Mission Bay CSF (Copper and Solvent Free) is a water-based version of Sea Hawk’s Mission Bay copper-free antifouling paint.

CSF combines an enhanced, self-polishing, hard ablative copolymer resin base with a controlled release, next-generation zinc pyrithione biocide that is activated by UV light.

Any small amounts of biocide that may be released into the water column are quickly degraded without any bio-accumulation in the environment.

Depending on environmental conditions, Mission Bay CSF offers one or more seasons of protection, while its ablative character prevents coating buildup with repeated applications.

Being copper-free, it may be used on aluminum hulls without the use of a traditional barrier coat system.
