Ultra with Biolux

In the most troublesome fouling situations, where waters are warmer, land runoff is greater and slime-causing algae are rampant, Ultra rises to the challenge. The new and improved fast dry formula of Ultra allows you to paint and launch the same day.

Ultra provides excellent long-term protection from shell and weed fouling. Ultra contains a very high loading of cuprous oxide and uses Biolux technology to block slime. Ultra is recommended for use wherever the fouling challenge is severe, and can be used in fresh, salt and brackish water on fiberglass, wood and properly primed steel boat hulls and parts. Even though Ultra has a very high loading of cuprous oxide it has excellent color stability and resists changing color at the waterline.

* High copper antifouling for ultimate protection
