NUBIAN
MARINE PAINTS
New generation antifoulings
The new range of NUBIAN 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.
antifoulings
Speed 51
High-performance self-polishing antifouling
Self-polishing antifouling based on copper (copper-free in Extra White), with high antifouling power. Suitable for all types of boats with speeds up to 35 knots. It is hydrophilic and therefore considerably reduces the friction of the water on the hull.
The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
​
Key West 54
Long-life antifouling
Long-life antifouling based on copper (Copper-free in Extra White), for both sailing and motor boats., to protect the hull from fouling throughout the season.
The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
​
Bora 59
Self-polishing antifouling
Self-polishing antifouling based on copper (copper-free in Extra White), for both sailing and motor boats, with speeds up to 35 knots.
The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
Available: extra white, dark blue, red and black.
Copper 57
Universal antifouling
Universal antifouling based on copper (copper-free in Extra White), for both sailing and motor boats. It can be applied on most pre-existing antifoulings.
The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
Available: extra white, dark blue, red and black.
Speed 951
Broad spectrum self-polishing antifouling
(for professional use only)
Self-polishing antifouling based on copper (copper-free in Extra White), with a wide spectrum of action, with high antifouling power for all types of boats with speeds up to 35 knots. It is hydrophilic and therefore considerably reduces the friction of the water on the hull. The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
Yachting 953
Long-life broad spectrum antifouling
(for professional use only)
Long-life anti-fouling with a broad spectrum of action, copper based (copper-free in extra white), with high antifouling power, for all types of boats, even fast ones.
The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
Bora 959
Professional self-polishing antifouling
(for professional use only)
Self-polishing antifouling based on copper (copper-free in Extra White), with high antifouling power for all types of boats with speeds up to 35 knots. It is hydrophilic and therefore considerably reduces the friction of the water on the hull. The Extra White color is suitable for application on aluminum and metal parts.
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
Smalto 42
High quality single component enamel
High quality single component enamel with excellent expansion and brilliance. Exceptional white point. Fine finish for the sides and superstructures of pleasure boats. Excellent outdoor resistance and elasticity. It is suitable for all types of substrates prepared with suitable primers.
​
Nubiflex 48
Enamel for inflatable boats
One-component enamel for inflatable boats, elastic and resistant to marine environment.
It is applied directly on the rubber without any primer, be it neoprene, pvc, hypalon or other.
A deep cleaning of the rubber is important to eliminate the fat and salt on the fabric.
Available: white, orange, red, gray and black.
Mono or bi-component finishes
For the finishing of fiberglass sides, the two-component cycle is suggested.
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.
transparents
Teak Oil 96
Protective oil for teak
Teak Oil is a protective product, based on jojoba oil, with very high penetrating, protective and waterproofing characteristics. 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.
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.
primers
undercoats
fillers
epoxy resins
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.

Svernicarene 71
Water based stripper for antifouling
Svernicarene helps to remove antifoulings from the hull with maximum efficiency and speed. Its particular water-based formulation and the absence of solvents safeguard the operator's health. It is particularly suitable for fiberglass boats because it does not affect the gel-coat and the anti-osmosis epoxy cycles.
