Ideal for powerboats and racing sailboats, VC® 17m is the bottom paint industry's original "non-stick" technology. A very flexible coating, VC 17m is also ideal for use on inflatables.
VC 17m incorporates a slick PTFE additive (similar to Teflon®) that markedly reduces friction and produces a smooth, low-drag surface – making it ideal for racing boats, but it works to make cruising boats go faster, as well.
Thin film technology makes this paint only 1/8th the thickness of a traditional bottom paint, so it adds practically no weight to smaller racing sailboats, and virtually eliminates film build-up.
With its modest charge of biocide, VC 17m is designed primarily for use in fresh water or low-fouling, cold salt waters – where it is typically used in single-season applications.
Its 20% copper component protects against fouling – including zebra mussels.
A "self-burnishing" paint, as it is applied, the VC 17m coating flows out to immediately create a hard, super smooth, racing finish that would normally take days of tiresome sanding and burnishing to achieve.
• Hard, smooth surface - suitable for racing sailboats and high-speed powerboats, as well as inflatables
• Single season protection, but can be extended with touch-ups or re-coating
• Suitable for fresh or low fouling saltwater, and trailered or rack-stored boats
• Can be hauled for extended periods and re-launched without losing its effectiveness
• Biocide - 20% by weight metallic copper (mixed in) protects against hard growth
• Contains copper - do not apply on aluminum hulls or outdrives
• Do not apply over soft or graphite antifouling paints
• Apply using short nap roller or airless spray (only); do not apply by brush
• Fast overcoating – dries in minutes, allowing for same day launchings
• No sanding required between coats
• Thinner: Special Thinner 216
• Theoretical coverage is 340 ft²/gallon, practical coverage is 300 ft²/gal (75 ft²/quart); 2 - 3 coats per season recommended (no sanding required); 8% solids (by vol.)

Note - this is a two-component paint. Under the red top is a bag of powdered copper, which is mixed into the base paint before using.
Also – this paint takes several weeks of immersion to develop its final color, and it may not change color if above the true waterline.
