Alexseal's premium Super Fair 212 is specifically formulated for the marine market and is significantly lighter in weight and more flexible when cured than Alexseal's 202 Fairing Compound.
Modern boat designs - with their new materials and geometries - rounded corners and complex shapes - create new physical requirements for fairing compounds, and Alexseal's Super Fair 212 is the first fairing compound to address these issues.
Super Fair 212 can be applied in higher film thicknesses to outside curved surfaces.
It is also capable of withstanding the high temperatures encountered in dark colored boat hulls and topsides after long hours in the hot sun - without breaking down and losing its structural integrity as other fairing compounds can.
On large projects, Super Fair 212 is also better capable than other fairing compounds of withstanding machine mixing without any changes in its physical characteristics - greatly reducing the possibility of future coating failures.
Super Fair 212 can be used for fairing all appropriately prepared surfaces above and below the waterline.
If Super Fair 212 is used below the waterline it must be sealed with Alexseal Finish Primer 442 or Super Build 302.
