International VC-Tar2 is a two-component epoxy primer designed to protect boat hulls against moisture, osmosis and corrosion.
It creates a durable, water-resistant protective layer and provides an ideal base for compatible antifouling paints.
Available in Black and Ivory White.
International VC-Tar2 is a high-performance epoxy primer specially designed to protect the underwater surfaces of boats and yachts.
It helps prevent water from penetrating fiberglass hulls, reducing the risk of osmosis and damage over time.
It also provides excellent protection against corrosion on steel and aluminium surfaces.
Its special formula creates a smooth, protective finish and can be recoated within a few hours, depending on temperature.
Sanding between coats is generally not required when the recommended application times are followed.
It is suitable for fiberglass, steel, aluminium and lead surfaces, making it an excellent choice for boat maintenance and hull protection.
International VC-Tar2 can also be used as a base before applying compatible antifouling paints, including International VC 17m and VC Offshore EU.
Note: Mix the base and hardener thoroughly before application. Do not apply directly over old antifouling paint. The surface must be clean, dry and properly prepared. For existing osmosis damage, professional assessment and additional preparation are required. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
