my boat is fiberglass. may it be painted here in the autumn and put in the water in the spring.

Assuming the fibreglass is clean, dry, sound, lightly abraded and prepared in accordance with the technical datasheet prior to application, this can be an option. As there is no maximum refloat time for this product, dependent on environmental exposure before submerging back into the water, we'd recommend to low pressure freshwater wash any underwater area's, removing any traces of contamination and to activate the EcoFleet 530 system.

Hi Good morning Please can you use this product ecofleet 530 on leisure GRP motor boats or is it just for steel commercial boats? Many thanks Roger

Assuming the GRP is clean, dry, sound and prepared in accordance with the technical data sheet, we'd recommend priming firstly with one coat of PPG Sigmacover 280 to improve the adhesion, before a finish coat of PPG Sigma EcoFleet 530 in your choice of Black, Blue 7385, Brown, Red Brown and BS16D45.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Surface Preparation

Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Substrate conditions

Suitable high-performance anticorrosive tie coats
Previous coat must be sound, dry and free from any contamination

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions

Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point

Application

Instructions for Use

Stir well before use
The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance

Airless Spray

Recommended thinner

PPG Thinner 21-06

Volume of thinner

0 - 3%, depending on required thickness and application conditions

Nozzle orifice

Approx. 0.53 – 0.69 mm (0.021 – 0.027 in)

Nozzle pressure

12.0 - 15.0 MPa (approx. 120 - 150 bar; 1741 - 2176 p.s.i.)

Brush/roller

Only for touch-up and repair

Recommended thinner

PPG Thinner 21-06

Spreading Rate and Film Thickness

Spreading rate and film thickness

DFT	Theoretical spreading rate
75 µm (3.0 mils)	8.0 m²/l (321 ft²/US gal)
100 µm (4.0 mils)	6.0 m²/l (241 ft²/US gal)
150 µm (6.0 mils)	4.0 m²/l (160 ft²/US gal)

Overcoating interval for DFT up to 150 µm (6.0 mils)

Overcoating with...	Interval	5°C (41°F)	10°C (50°F)	20°C (68°F)	30°C (86°F)
Itself	Minimum	18 hours	12 hours	6 hours	4 hours
Itself	Refloating - Minimum	24 hours	12 hours	8 hours	6 hours

Notes:

Maximum overcoating time for SigmaCover 510 with Sigma EcoFleet 530 is 48 hours at 20°C
The above data is a fair indication for normal application conditions
Longer drying times may be necessary at higher DFT and under unfavourable atmospheric conditions

Safety Precautions

For paint and recommended thinners, see information sheets information sheet 1430, information sheet 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets in the attachments section above
This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
