The benefits of Micron® Technology
Micron Technology formulations are
second to none!
Micron® Technology uses biocides more efficiently than old fashioned hard
bottom paints:
Micron Technology has evolved into the
class leading antifouling paints since first
being introduced to the industry in the
early 80’s.

Features and Benefits

Unlike old fashioned hard bottom paints, Micron uses biocide more efficiently for longest lasting
antifouling protection
Old fashioned hard
antifoulings will eventually
leave biocide trapped within
a rough, honeycombed
paint film that will need to
be removed by sanding or
scraping.
Micron Technology
Controlled polishing
like a bar of soap
reduces paint build-up
and eliminates the
need for sanding
Micron Technology antifouling paints polish at a controlled rate delivering a constant amount of biocide
over time. The release rate of biocide is much more efficient than that of old fashioned hard antifoulings.
In simple terms, if you can still see Micron on the boat, it is still working for you. Hard antifoulings will
tend to lose their effectiveness over time.
After many years of using old fashioned hard
antifouling paint, the paint film continues to build up,
become brittle, and starts to crack and flake off.
And now with Micron CF there is a Micron for every boat in all areas
All the benefits of Micron technology in a copper- free formula.
Hard Antifouling
Micron Technology antifoulings polish at a
controlled rate and therefore will never build up
No paint build up means that you will never have
to remove old layers of Micron and spend precious
hours or money each time you want to repaint. It is
this controlled polishing that enables Micron to be
used on all boats, in all waters, and at all times!
Micron CF is a multi-season antifouling that uses Biolux® Slime Blocking Technology
to combat slime and Econea® to ward off barnacles and zebra mussels.
Like all Micron paints Micron CF is a polishing product that reduces paint build up
and the self-smoothing characteristics of the paint reduce friction and improve fuel
efficiency. A high solids formulation, Micron CF offers reduced solvent emissions
and is VOC compliant. Micron CF is available in 4 bright colors including shell white
as well as a crisp black. Micron CF is suitable for use on all boats
What is Biolux? Biolux® is a unique antifouling technology developed by Interlux®
that incorporates organic boosting biocides into a special biocide release system. This
blocks slime growth for a fouling free boat bottom. How does it work? – Just like ordinary
plants, slime and algae feed on sunlight. Formulations that use Biolux® technology prevent algae and
slime from being able to grow by acting like sunscreen to block this process
Micron a better choice for my boat than
old fashioned hard bottom paints?
