Product Description
Micron CSC provides multi-season antifouling protection against all types of marine fouling organisms.
When the time comes to apply new antifouling paint to your boat’s hull, the job will be a lot easier if you use Micron CSC. This is because compared to hard antifouling paints, Micron CSC’s ablative formula wears away or “self-polishes” in a controlled fashion as the boat is used. Controlled polishing reduces the build-up of old coatings—which minimizes the need for laborious sanding at haul out.
And compared to hard antifouling paints, Micron CSC is also better for the environment. This is because it uses less copper more efficiently than traditional, hard antifouling paints.
Boats painted with Micron CSC can also be hauled, stored and relaunched without a loss of antifouling effectiveness—which means you can paint in the fall and splash in the spring!

| Boat Type | Bottom Paint |
|---|---|
| 10' Dinghy | 1 qt. |
| 14' Outboard | 1-2 qt. |
| 18' Runabout | 2 qt. |
| 20' Sailboat | 3 qt. |
| 24' Runabout | 3-4 qt. |
| 30' Sailboat | 1.5 gal. |
| 32' Cruiser | 1.5-2 gal. |
| 36' Auxiliary | 2 gal. |
| 40' Cruiser | 2.5 gal. |
| 45' Sailboat | 3-3.5 gal |
| 50' Sportfisher | 4+ gal. |
Another way to determine bottom paint quantity is to estimate the approximate surface area of the hull below the waterline, using the following formula:
Length x Beam x .75 = Approximate underwater surface area in square feet.
Each paint has a “theoretical coverage” area, but most paints require at least two coats, so you can expect actual coverage to be no greater than half of the theoretical value.
