What is SEAJET 030 WARRIOR and why choose it?
SEAJET 030 WARRIOR is an effective, low-cost antifouling paint based on a special synthetic resin. It is designed for sailing and motor yachts operating in low and medium fouling conditions and can be used on all common boatbuilding substrates except aluminium. Its hard antifouling matrix delivers durable protection, is suitable for warm weather application and is compatible with most existing antifoulings when correctly prepared.

- Note: film thickness and spreading rate depend on application method; when applied by brush, additional coats may be necessary to reach the specified DFT.
Drying and launching times (at 47–50 µm DFT)
Indicative times, increasing with lower temperature and higher film thickness:
- 5 °C: surface dry 45 min; hard dry 6 h; minimum overcoating interval 15 h (no maximum); minimum time before launch 16 h.
- 10 °C: surface dry 30 min; hard dry 4.5 h; minimum overcoating interval 9 h; minimum time before launch 10 h.
- 20 °C: surface dry 20 min; hard dry 3 h; minimum overcoating interval 5 h; minimum time before launch 6 h.
- 30 °C: surface dry 15 min; hard dry 2 h; minimum overcoating interval 4 h; minimum time before launch 5 h.
Drying and overcoating intervals increase with higher film thickness. Before recoating, ensure the previous coat is fully dry throughout.
Applications and use cases
- Recreational sailing yachts: protection of GRP or steel sailing yachts operating in coastal and inland waters with low to medium fouling pressure.
- Motorboats and cruisers: hard antifouling surface suitable for planing and semi-planing hulls where durability and resistance to mechanical wear are required.
- Refit over existing antifouling: when the old antifouling is in good condition and compatible, SEAJET 030 WARRIOR can be applied directly after high-pressure washing and wet sanding as needed.
- Barrier system upgrades: in cases of unknown or incompatible antifouling, SEAJET 030 WARRIOR can be used over SEAJET 015 Underwater Primer to create a controlled system.
- Localized reinforcement: thanks to its hard nature, additional coats can be built up on high-wear areas such as leading edges, bow sections, waterline and appendages.
FAQ – SEAJET 030 WARRIOR
-
On which hull materials can SEAJET 030 WARRIOR be used?
It can be applied on properly primed GRP/FRP, wood and steel hulls. It must not be used on aluminium surfaces.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
General protective measures
- Provide adequate ventilation through local exhaust and general extraction to keep solvent vapours and particulates below occupational exposure limits.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the application area. Avoid skin and eye contact and avoid inhalation of vapours, spray mist or sanding dust.
- When working inside spray booths, operators should use air-supplied respiratory protection during spraying and until solvent vapour and particulate levels are below exposure limits.
Respiratory protection
- If exposure may exceed limits, use a respirator conforming to EN 140 fitted with a combined particulate and vapour filter to EN 14387 with an assigned protection factor of at least 10 (e.g. A2P3).
- During dry sanding, flame cutting or welding of the dry film, hazardous dust and fumes can be generated; use wet sanding where possible or appropriate respiratory protection if this cannot be avoided.
Hand protection
- Use chemical-resistant gloves tested according to EN 374 for repeated or prolonged contact.
- Recommended glove materials and indicative minimum thicknesses:
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves: approx. 0.062 mm (high chemical resistance; can also be used as under-gloves).
- Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gloves: approx. 0.2–0.3 mm (high resistance).
- Butyl gloves: approx. 0.5–0.75 mm (high resistance, depending on exposure time).
- Butyl/Viton gloves: approx. 0.70 mm (high resistance, suitable for intensive solvent contact).
- Nitrile gloves: approx. 0.31 mm (good protection particularly during spray application).
- Replace gloves regularly and immediately when any damage is observed. Follow the glove manufacturer’s instructions on use, storage, maintenance and replacement.
- Barrier creams may assist in protecting exposed skin areas but must never be applied after exposure has occurred.
Eye and face protection
- Wear safety eyewear to EN 166 designed to protect against liquid splashes (e.g. tightly fitting goggles or face shield).
Skin and body protection
- Wear antistatic clothing made from natural fibres or heat-resistant synthetic fibres.
- Avoid contaminated clothing; remove and wash before reuse.
Environmental protection measures
- Prevent the product from entering drains, sewers or surface waters.
- Spillages must be contained and collected with non-combustible absorbent material for disposal as hazardous waste.
