# ORGANO-SILICONE FOULING RELEASE A/F
RAINBOW PAINTS
## Product Code
RAINBOSLIP 1200
## Type
Two-component organosilicone resin fouling-release coating. This antifouling paint is tin-biocide free and complies with the requirements of international maritime organization (AFS/CONF/26) for hull antifouling systems.
## Application
For new shipbuilding or dry-dock ship repair (vessels over 8 meters in length). Also applicable to marine equipment and seawater intake/outlet structures to prevent marine organism adhesion.
## Properties
1. Helps reduce environmental hazards
2. Organosilicone resin provides self-polishing performance, minimizing fouling damage and enabling easy fouling removal
3. Smooth coating film reduces fluid resistance to save fuel consumption
4. Fast drying speed
