PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RECOMMENDED USES
SEAGUARD 6000 MARINE EPOXY / ALUMINUM AND BRONZE For use over properly prepared steel substrates, including:
TONE is a modified epoxy phenalkamine, formulated specifically • Salt water and fresh water immersion service
for immersion and atmospheric service in marine and industrial
environments. SeaGuard 6000 is a versatile anti-corrosive coating • Ballast tanks
that can be applied at temperatures as low as 20°F. • Offshore and marine structures
• Bilges and wet void areas
• Complies with IMO Performance Standard for Protective Coat- • Decks and superstructures
ings SOLAS REGULATIONS II-1/3-2 and XII/6.3 • Underwater hulls
• Self-priming
• Low temperature application • Fabrication and new construction
• Surface tolerant - damp surfaces • Maintenance and repair
• Provides salt water and fresh water immersion resistance • As an anti-corrosive primer when used as part of an underwater
hull system with anti-fouling coatings
