SEAJET SEOSIL / SILICONE

## SEAJET Tie Coat – tie coat for the SEOSIL silicone system **The essential intermediate layer that makes the silicone adhere and determines the hull colour** SEAJET Tie Coat is a **one-component, fast-drying tie coat** developed specifically for the **SEAJET SEOSIL (Bioclean Eco)** silicone foul-release system. Silicone does not adhere on its own to the substrate or to conventional coatings, so Tie Coat acts as a **bridge between the primer or old antifouling and the silicone**, ensuring lasting adhesion and a long service life for the entire system. Since SEOSIL is clear, **Tie Coat determines the final hull colour**. A big advantage is that it can be applied **directly over an existing, well-adhered antifouling** – there is no need to remove the old coating. ### Advantages - **Ensures adhesion of the SEOSIL silicone coating** - **Application over existing antifouling** – no need to remove the old coating (if it is in good condition) - **Determines the hull colour** – available in 4 colours - **One-component** – no mixing and no pot-life limit - **Fast drying** – touch dry in just 40 minutes - **For all materials:** GRP, wood, steel and aluminium (with the correct primer) ### Technical data - **Colours:** white, black, dark blue (navy), red - **Pack sizes:** 0.75 l / 2.5 l - **Coverage:** approx. 15 m²/l per coat (theoretical, by roller) - **Film thickness:** 100 µm wet / 30 µm dry per coat - **Application:** brush, roller; spraying for professional use only - **Thinner:** SEAJET Thinner A (15–25 %) - **Application temperature:** air 5–35 °C, substrate at least 7 °C, humidity up to 85 % - **Shelf life:** 2 years at 20 °C ### Drying times (at 20 °C) - **Touch dry:** 40 minutes - **Fully dry:** 4 hours - **Next coat of Tie Coat:** after at least 4–5 hours (no maximum) - **Application of SEAJET SEOSIL:** after at least 12 hours ### Coating system - **New GRP and steel:** SEAJET 117 Multipurpose Epoxy Primer (silver) + 2 coats SEAJET Tie Coat + 2 coats SEAJET SEOSIL - **Wood:** SEAJET 015 Underwater Primer + 2 coats SEAJET Tie Coat + 2 coats SEAJET SEOSIL - **Existing antifouling (in good condition):** sand with P100 sandpaper + 2 coats SEAJET Tie Coat + 2 coats SEAJET SEOSIL ### Directions for use 1. The surface must be clean, dry and free of grease, salt and fouling. Sand existing antifouling with **P100** sandpaper, remove any flaking areas and remove the dust. 2. Stir Tie Coat well before use and thin with SEAJET Thinner A (15–25 %). 3. Apply **2 coats** at least 4–5 hours apart. 4. After at least **12 hours**, apply 2 coats of SEAJET SEOSIL. ### Tip Apply only to a dry substrate free of moisture. Tie Coat is intended solely as a base for SEOSIL – on its own it does not protect against fouling. ### Safety labelling (GHS/CLP)
