Tenco Bottomcoat black underwater coating

A black bituminous underwater coating from Tenco for inland waterway vessels and pleasure craft sailing in fresh or brackish water. Also suitable for houseboats, floating pontoons and other objects in constant contact with fresh water, such as lock gates, sheet piling and jetty piles.

What you use it for

Protection of iron, concrete, wood and aged polyester below the waterline. The coating adheres directly to bare steel, concrete, wood and polyester, and to old tar and bitumen layers. Never use a primer under Tenco Bottomcoat black; it is not needed for good adhesion.

Application

Apply to a dry surface, free of grease, dirt, loose rust and mill scale, with a brush or paint roller. Stir well before use. Thin the first coat or any bare patches with approx. 10% white spirit; then apply two coats undiluted. For maintenance, two undiluted coats are sufficient. Do not apply in full sun, on wood at a minimum of 8 °C and on steel at a minimum of 10 °C (maximum 25 °C at 80% relative humidity). Dust-dry after 6 hours and recoatable after 24 hours at 18 °C and 60% relative humidity. Coverage 7 to 9 m² per litre. Clean tools with white spirit.
