Product Description
Palatine Hull Blacking is a bitumen based coating designed to be applied directly to the hull of a boat. The coating provides protection from water and weather, preventing the hull from becoming worn and damaged from everyday use of the boat.
Palatine Hull Blacking is suitable for narrowboats, cruisers and other types of inland waterway vessels. Please note that as this is a bitumen based coating, it can only be overcoated by other bitumen based products. The bitumen based hull blacking will bleed through standard oil and water based paints.
Our friendly technical team are available to contact by phone or web chat during our opening hours, where we can answer any questions you may have. This includes topics such as surface compatibility, preparation and application. Outside of our opening hours, you are welcome to send an email, which are checked each working morning.
We also have a range of other marine coatings available, such as our Marine Satin and Gloss topcoats. These are available in a variety of colours and are suitable for use on a range of different surfaces, including wood, metal, concrete and GRP.
We also supply an Marine Anti-slip Paint, suitable for wooden, metal and concrete floors, step and ramps. The textured surface makes areas safer for foot traffic, especially in wet weather or areas near the water.
Preparation:
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
For maximum protection prime bare surfaces with Palatine Zinc Rich Primer or Palatine Metal Primer.
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Application:
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
It is recommended that 2 coats of Palatine Hull Blacking should be applied by:
Conventional or HVLP spray.
Roller, Brush or Dip.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
A minimum of two coats is recommended.
