Interlux introduces a new antifouling, Pacifica
Vice President for Marketing Bob Donat said “In responding to many customer requests, particularly in Southern California,
Interlux is proud to introduce Pacifica. Pacifica is a new antifouling that provides an alternative to boat owners,
boatyards and those in the boating community looking for a copper free antifouling paint to reduce copper accumulation.
Pacifica does not contain copper and uses a controlled biocide release mechanism to combat fouling.
Pacifica erodes away over time but is tough enough to hold up to regular cleanings if necessary. What’s
more, Pacifica meets the most stringent VOC regulations in California. Boatyards will love the fast dry
properties of Pacifica which allow boats to be painted and launched the same day.”
Pacifica is available in clean, crisp, bright colors including blue, black and white and is compatible with
most other antifouling paints. Being copper free Pacifica is ideal for use on all underwater metal
surfaces including aluminum as well as fiberglass and wood. The high solids, low VOC formula of
Pacifica has proven effective for power and sail boats. The average retail selling price will be $199.99
per gallon.
