Petit Marine's new Vivid Free

Coatings World, June, 2008

Pettit Marine Paint's innovative antifouling paint, Vivid Free, is now available nationwide in all of its 24 vibrant colors. Using a controlled erosion process, combined with PTFE and the latest biocide technology, Vivid Free provides protection against slime, algae, barnacles and other marine fouling without the use of copper or TBT. EPA-approved and recently selected as a West Marine top pick for sustainable boating, Vivid Free can safely be used on all aluminum, fiberglass, wood and steel hulls, out drives and outboard motors in fresh, salt and brackish water. Boats using Vivid Free can be hauled and re-launched without recoating. Pettit Marine Paint's Vivid Free retails for $199 per gallon and is available at boatyards and retail stores nationwide.
