BRAVA
PAINTS FOR BOATING
New generation antifoulings
The new range of Brava antifoulings, compliant with the BPR (biocidal product regulation), has been developed to guarantee the best antifouling performance on boats that stay mostly in warm seas like the Mediterranean.
Ocean
SELFPOLISHING ANTIFOULING
OCEAN is a selfpolishing copper-based antifouling (copper-free in Extra White), suitable for all kind of boats with speed up to 35 knots.
In Extra White is suitable for aluminum and metal parts.
Antivegetativa Gommoni
INFLATABLE ANTIFOULING
Extremely elastic antifouling paint, designed for rubber dinghies and resistant to sea water erosion.
It is applied directly to rubber, pvc, and hypalon after smoothing and washing with detergents to remove impurities.
The choice of antifouling
The antifouling must be chosen based on the cruising speed of the boat and the material with which it is built.
All Brava antifoulings can be applied on wooden or plastic hulls, applying the appropriate primer where necessary.
A copper-free antifouling must be applied to aluminum or light alloy hulls.
Iron hulls are also subject to galvanic currents, however to a lesser extent:
it is therefore possible to apply copper-based antifoulings as long as an anticorrosive and insulating cycle is previously applied
enamels
Alte Temperature
HIGH TEMPERATURE ENAMEL
Anticorrosive and protective paint, silicone resin based, for metals, with a resistance to very high temperatures: 600° C. for alluminium type, 450 C. for black and 400° C. for the other colours. Suitabie for engines and pots of cars and boats but also for stoves and burner.
Royal Rylard
POLYURETHANE ENAMEL
ROYAL RYLARD has been developed for fibreglass yachts and adheres directly to an adequately cleaned and degreased gel-coat. Two pack polyurethane enamel, with high gloss retention and good resistance to the marine environment. It can be applied either by spray or brush, given its flow characteristics.
Royal Garage
EPOXY TWO PACK WATERBASED ENAMEL FOR FLOORS
Royal Garage is a water based two-component epoxy semigloss enamel, suitable for finishing of concrete and tiled floors, walls, wall tiles, bathtubs, shower, etc. It is easy to clean, has an excellent resistance to abrasion, impacts, washings with chemical detergents, oils and gasoline, etc.
It has strong adhesion and applies to all materials with no need of primer.
One or two-component finishes
For the finishing of fiberglass sides, the two-component cycle is certainly to be recommended.
This cycle ensures absolute best results in terms of hardness, lucidity, duration and resistance of the paint film.
The single-component cycle is to be suggested on wooden boats due to elasticity properties.
transparents
Painting the wood
For the painting of traditional wood boats, the application of one-component oil-based paints is undoubtedly the best choice for its unsurpassed characteristics of elasticity, resistance and aesthetic qualities.
The number of coats to be applied is very important: from 5 to 8 coats, according to the absorption of the wood, are suggested.
teak care
Olio Per Teak Senza Solventi
TEAK OIL WATER BASED
OLIO PER TEAK SENZA SOLVENTI is a teak treatment, hydrocarbons solvent free, to replace natural oils removed by weathering. It is a special blend to be used on unpainted wood surfaces indoors and outdoors, or on old varnished wood to renew the surface.
Olio Naturale Per Teak
Natural Protective Oil For Teak
Treatment for teak, based on tung oil, formulated to reintegrate the natural oils lost over time and following repeated washing.
It penetrates deeply into the fibers, does not form a film, leaves the surface dry, closes the porosity of the wood making it impermeable to water and dirt.
Teak Oil
TEAK OIL JOJOBA BASED
TEAK OIL is based on JOJOBA oil, a natural oil with exceptional penetration and waterproofing properties. Up to now it was only used in top class cosmetic compositions. TEAK OIL penetrates in wood fibers, does not create a film, so the surface remains clean and non slippery, but protected from weather and dust. Being a natural oil it does not affect other materials such as painted surfaces, metals, gel-coat etc.
primers
undercoats
Fondo Poliuretanico
POLYURETHANE TWO PACK BARRIER COAT
Used with polyurethane or polyurethane/epoxy paint systems, such as ROYAL RYLARD, to eliminate small imperfection before finishing. It has the advantage of being white and easy to sand. The main advantage lies in its strong coverage which allows a white surface on which the enamel can be applied (leaving no "filling" marks etc.).
fillers
Stucco Ultraleggero
TWO PACK ULTRA-LIGHT EPOXY FILLER
Two-pack ultra-light epoxy filler, specific gravity 0,78 g/lt., used for the repair of medium and large imperfections below the waterline. It is easy to sand and, given its specific weight, can be applied in large quantities without weighing down the hull.
resins
Resina Epossidica
SOLVENT FREE EPOXY COMPOUND
Two pack clear solventless barrier coat used for repair work or to prevent osmosis on fibreglass hulls and to restore or protect wood in a marine environment. Being solventfree, it enables greater thickness, very good adhesion and high resistance to humidity.
Treatment and prevention of osmosis
When the water manages to pass the layer of the gel-coat and penetrates the laminate, the problem of osmosis arises. Osmosis occurs with bubbles up to 20 millimeters in diameter, filled with a liquid with a strong acid smell.
Indispensable is to show the boat to a specialist who can judge if you are really in the presence of osmosis and if it is appropriate to intervene immediately or not.
