Pettit HRT ECO’s smooth durable paint surface is designed to wear away over time thereby eliminating paint build up as well as the need for sanding. Pettit HRT ECO Copper-Free Bottom Paint is safe for use on any aluminum-hulled boat. This copper-free bottom paint provides excellent antifouling protection; hauling and relaunching won't reduce its effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is HRT? Hybrid Reactive Technology utilizes high-density biocide to maximize effectiveness. That along with film modifiers to reduce yearly build-up, it can maintain color consistency and lower weight impact on the water vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is ECO? ECO means the paint uses Econea instead of copper. Econea is a copper free biocide that provides great protection at very low concentrations. Pettit HRT ECO contains 6% Econea which has been shown to be as effective as bottom paints made with roughly 50% copper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold in gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper free\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafe for aluminum boats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEconomical hybrid protection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth durable polishing finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible over most bottom paints\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle Season Antifouling Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActive Ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6% Econea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4.8% Zinc Omadine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColors Available: 1200 Blue, 1300 Pontoon Gray, 1800 Black\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow Much ECO HRT do I need for my boat?\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Gallon Pettit ECO HRT Copper-Free Antifouling Paint covers 500 Sq Ft\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoat Length X Width X .85 = Sq Ft per coat of paint (Example: 30ft boat 8.5 wide is 216.75 Sq Ft Per Coat)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultiple Sq Ft by Number of Coats 2-3 for total number of Sq ft for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWholesale Marine would recommend 1 Gallon for this Job. 2 Coats + Some Extra for Touch Up or waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to Apply Pettit ECO HRT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePettit ECO HRT Copper-Free Antifouling Paint is easily applied by brush, roller, or spray.
