What is SEAJET 039 PLATINUM MONO COMPONENT and why choose it?
SEAJET 039 PLATINUM MONO COMPONENT is a high performance self-polishing copolymer (SPC) antifouling paint designed for boats operating in all fouling environments, including the highest fouling areas. Based on advanced resin technology from Japan, it offers long lasting protection against marine growth on suitably primed GRP, wood and steel hulls. The product is single pack (one component), making it easier to handle and apply than multi-component systems. It must not be used on aluminium surfaces.
Main features
- Ultimate performing SPC antifouling for boats in severe fouling waters.
- One pack product – no mixing ratio to calculate; simply stir to a uniform consistency before use.
- Wide substrate compatibility: for suitably primed GRP, wood and steel (not suitable for aluminium).
- Multiple colour options: black, graphite grey RAL 7024, greenish grey, light red, navy blue and mid blue.
- Professional finish by brush, roller or spray (spray application restricted to professional users).
- Long immersion window: maximum time before launch after application is 6 months.
- High volume solids: 44 ±2% (ISO 3233:1998) for efficient film build.
- Engineered for safety and compliance: classified as a flammable liquid, causes skin and eye irritation and is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects, with detailed safety and handling guidance in the Safety Data Sheet.

Applications and typical use cases
Recommended substrates and systems
- GRP (polyester) and steel hulls:
- Sand with P100, remove all dust.
- Prime with SEAJET 117 MULTIPURPOSE EPOXY PRIMER or SEAJET 015 UNDERWATER PRIMER as specified.
- Apply the specified number of coats of SEAJET 039 PLATINUM MONO COMPONENT.
- Wood:
- Sand with P100, remove all dust.
- Prime with SEAJET 015 UNDERWATER PRIMER.
- Apply SEAJET 039 PLATINUM MONO COMPONENT as antifouling.
- Existing antifouling in good condition:
- High pressure fresh water wash (approx. 200 bar) to remove fouling and salt.
- Ensure the surface is dry, clean and free from salt, grease or oil; degrease if necessary.
- Check compatibility using the SEAJET antifouling compatibility table before overcoating.
- Existing antifouling in poor condition:
- Remove the old antifouling completely.
- Aluminium: not suitable – SEAJET 039 PLATINUM MONO COMPONENT must not be used on aluminium surfaces.
Application notes
- Mix thoroughly before use until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Apply two full coats as standard, plus an extra coat on leading edges, waterline, rudders and stern gear.

Section 8 – Personal protective measures
Exposure controls
- Provide adequate ventilation using local exhaust and general extraction to keep solvent vapour and particulates below occupational exposure limits.
- Dry sanding, flame cutting or welding on the dry paint film may generate hazardous dust or fumes. Prefer wet sanding. If exposure cannot be controlled by ventilation, use suitable respiratory protection.
Respiratory protection
- If workers may be exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, use a respirator to EN 140 fitted with a combined filter for particulates and vapours to EN 14387 with an assigned protection factor of at least 10 (for example A2P3).
- When working inside a spray booth where ventilation is insufficient, operators should use a compressed air-fed respirator during spraying and until vapour and particulate concentrations fall below exposure limits.
Hand protection
There is no single glove material that provides unlimited resistance. For repeated or prolonged contact, use gloves tested according to EN 374. Recommended options include:
- High protection (permeation breakthrough > 480 min):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, approx. 0.062 mm.
- Butyl/Viton gloves, approx. 0.70 mm.
- High protection (240–480 min):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, approx. 0.062 mm.
- Butyl/Viton gloves, approx. 0.70 mm.
- Medium protection (120–240 min and 60–120 min):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, approx. 0.062 mm.
- Butyl/Viton gloves, approx. 0.70 mm.
- Short term exposure / splash protection (30–60 min):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, approx. 0.062 mm.
- Butyl/Viton gloves, approx. 0.70 mm.
- Nitrile gloves, approx. 0.31 mm.
- Short term exposure / splash protection (10–30 min):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, approx. 0.062 mm.
- Butyl/Viton gloves, approx. 0.70 mm.
- Butyl gloves, approx. 0.50 mm.
- Nitrile gloves, approx. 0.31 mm.
- Gloves considered not suitable for more than very short exposure (<10 min):
- Natural rubber gloves (approx. 0.75 mm).
- Thin nitrile gloves (approx. 0.175 mm).
- Neoprene gloves (approx. 0.75 mm).
- Butyl gloves (approx. 0.3 mm).
- PVA gloves (approx. 0.2–0.3 mm).
Nitrile gloves offer good protection during spray application. Follow the glove manufacturer’s instructions on use, storage, maintenance and replacement. Replace gloves regularly and immediately if damaged. PE gloves can be used as under-gloves in situations of high or uncertain exposure.
Eye and face protection
- Wear safety eyewear tested according to EN 166 and designed to protect against liquid splashes.
Skin and body protection
- Wear suitable protective clothing. Personnel should use anti-static clothing made of natural fibres or high temperature resistant synthetic fibres.
Environmental protection
- Do not allow the product to enter drains, sewers or watercourses.
- Spillages must be contained and collected with non-combustible absorbent materials and disposed of according to local regulations.
