Interlux Interprotect 200E Epoxy Barrier Coat Kit - White

Formulated with a unique two-part epoxy coating, Interlux Interprotect 200E is the perfect product to protect and seal hulls from moisture and water absorption that can cause rotting and long-term damage to your boat hulls. When it comes to repairing or preventing osmotic blistering, Interlux 200E is the product of choice. It is specifically designed for underwater use on metals, keels, and hulls.

It is suitable for application above and below the waterline.

Applying Interlux Interprotect 200E can be done easily with a brush, roller, or airless spray. It doesn’t require sanding and dries quickly.  Interlux 200E comes in a matte finish and the kit comes in quart and gallons sizes, It can help prevent costly repairs on boat hulls. Interlux recommends 4 to 5 coats for optimal protection.
