Seajet RIBCOAT is a two-step foul-release kit engineered specifically for Rigid Inflatable Boats that live afloat for extended periods.
- System components
- Seajet Rib Primer – a crystal-clear, two-component epoxy (mix ratio 60 : 40 by volume) that keys tenaciously to GRP and other rigid composites, sealing the surface and ensuring maximum adhesion for the finish coat. Touch-dry in 30 min and ready for over-coating after 8 h at 20 °C.
- Seajet RIBCOAT – a one-pack, silicone-elastomer foul-release coating that provides a superslick, non-stick surface. Marine growth may settle lightly but rinses away with water movement or a quick sponge wash. Over-coat window 6–8 h; launch in 8 h at 20 °C.
- Application sequence
1. Hull – Degrease, abrade with P100–P120, remove dust. Apply one thin coat of 114 Primer by roller/brush; allow to cure (see table above) then apply two coats of Bioclean Eco.
2. Tubes – Clean thoroughly (detergent & fresh-water rinse) and allow to dry; apply two coats of Bioclean Eco directly—no primer required.
3. Launch after the full system has cured for 8 h at 20 °C (longer in cooler conditions).
- Key features & benefits
- Biocide-free & environmentally responsible – meets the latest regulations while keeping waters cleaner.
- Ultra-low drag surface – silicone skin reduces fuel consumption and helps your RIB plane faster.
- Long-life protection – remains effective for multiple seasons; easy spot-repair extends service life.
- Simple maintenance – growth wipes off with a sponge or low-pressure wash; no harsh scraping required.
- Versatile pack sizes – convenient kits sized for tenders through offshore patrol RIBs.
- Recoating guidelines
- Good condition – wash with fresh water, let dry, apply one refreshing coat of RIBCOAT.
- Damaged areas – abrade hull patches with P100–P120, spot-prime with Rib Primer, then finish with RIBCOAT; for tube scuffs, apply a local touch-up plus a full finishing coat.
