Contender Hard Matrix Antifouling
High-performance hard-matrix antifouling designed for fast motorboats and racing yachts. Provides a tough, scrubbable finish that resists high-speed friction and frequent cleaning.
Contender Hard Matrix is a premium antifouling paint developed for vessels that require a durable, non-ablative finish. Unlike self-polishing paints, its hard-matrix structure stays intact, providing a smooth, low-friction surface that is ideal for fast motorboats, powerboats, and sailboats that are frequently used or kept on trailers.
✔ Hard Matrix Technology Provides a tough, resistant coating that does not wear away, making it suitable for high-speed navigation (over 25 knots).
✔ Scrubbable Finish The hard surface can be periodically cleaned or scrubbed to maintain maximum hull efficiency without removing the paint.
✔ Trailer-Friendly Perfect for boats that are frequently hauled out, launched, or transported on trailers, as the paint does not lose its effectiveness when exposed to air.
✔ Seasonal Protection Formulated with high-quality biocides to prevent the growth of algae, barnacles, and marine organisms in all water conditions.
🛥 Application & Compatibility Ideal for:
High-speed motorboats and racing yachts.
Boats kept on trailers or dry-docked frequently.
Fiberglass (GRP), wood, and steel hulls. Note: Not suitable for aluminum or light alloy hulls due to its copper-based formula.
✔ Maintains a constant smooth surface for optimized fuel consumption.
✔ High resistance to mechanical abrasion and impact.
✔ Excellent adhesion properties on various substrates.
✔ Suitable for both salt and brackish water environments.
📝 Instructions for Use Preparation
The hull must be clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
Sand existing hard antifouling with P120-P180 grit. If the old paint is unknown or self-polishing, it must be removed or sealed with a dedicated primer. Mixing
Stir thoroughly before and during application to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredients. Application
Apply 2 coats by roller, brush, or spray for seasonal protection.
Apply an extra coat on high-wear areas such as the waterline and bow.
✅ Final Result
A high-strength, smooth protective layer that ensures your boat maintains peak performance and speed throughout the season.
