COLOR & GLOSS VARIATION

Slight deviations in color may occur between production batches of primer and antifouling products. When subjected to atmospheric weathering and solar radiation, these products as well as epoxy-based topcoats, may exhibit chalking. Furthermore, the retention of gloss and color in topcoats depends on several factors. These include the paint type, specific pigment selection, application standards, and environmental conditions such as temperature and UV intensity.
