InterProtect 2000E is a two-part epoxy designed to protect fiberglass boat hulls from water absorption and reduce the likelihood of gelcoat blisters. The fast drying formula touch dry in as little as 30 minutes based on the ambient temperature, with immersion in 8-24 hours.
Interlux's Micro-Plate formula creates an effective barrier against water permeation. You can use 2000E antifouling paint primer above and below the waterline as a universal primer for all surfaces. It is also an excellent priming coat for all metals and can be used as part of a no sand system.
Available in quart and gallons in 2 colors - Gray and White.
2.25 Gallon containers do not include 2001E Cure. Each 2.25 Gallon container requires the separate purchase of one INT-Y2001EG. For the proper mix ratio, combine 1 part curing agent with 3 parts barrier coat primer.

InterProtect Primer Features:
Technically, InterProtect Micro-Plates provide millions of overlapping microscopic plates that create a barrier similar to shingles on a roof. These overlapping Micro-Plates eliminate any direct path for water migration and also improve the sag resistance of the epoxy making application easier.
What is Gelcoat Blistering?
Osmosis is caused by a chemical reaction between water and unreacted substances remaining in the manufactured hull. Water breaches the exterior gelcoat and reacts with the chemical components creating acidic substances. These substances create pressure behind the gelcoat which causes blisters and eventually cracking. Once the gelcoat is breached in this manner, the underlying laminate is capable of absorbing water like a sponge.
Use the Interlux InterProtect system to treat and help prevent this serious problem.
This formula helps you calculate how much paint is necessary for wetted surface area (i.e. under antifoulant paint). Calculate surface area as follows: Wetted Surface Area (WSA) = LOA x Beam x 0.85, then divide the WSA by 60 when brushing/rollering or 45 when spraying to determine the number of gallons necessary to reach 10 mils. For complete hull coverage calculate total surface area to be covered, then follow the division step. |
