Powerful, dual-biocide formula contains the most potent concentration of copper-free components, plus zinc to repel barnacles, zebra mussels, slime, algae, and weeds – without harming delicate marine ecosystems.
No copper means Krypton’s Red, Blue, Green, Black & White colors are brighter than traditional bottom paints containing cuprous oxide. It also means Krypton is an ideal paint for aluminum boats because it won't cause galvanic corrosion. It's safe to apply to aluminum hulls and underwater metals like trim tabs, outdrives and props. With its hybrid copolymer formula, there’s no maximum dry time to launch - haul your boat at the end of the season, paint it prior to winter storage, and be ready to launch first thing in the spring! During the season, you can haul and relaunch without losing effectiveness.
Krypton is ideal for use on fiberglass, aluminum, wood, and steel vessels of all types and sizes. You can even apply it right over existing paints as long as the surface is in good condition. Krypton is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying, and 1-2 coats are all that’s needed on the bottom, though you may want to apply an extra coat to areas that get more wear, like leading edges of keel and skegs. Available in quarts and gallons; smaller quart sizes are usually enough for outdrives, underwater metals, and trim tabs.
This product is intended for antifouling applications on boats, below the waterline only. It is not intended for household use. Compare to Interlux Pacifica Plus, Interlux Micron CF, Pettit Hydrocoat Eco, Pettit Vivid, ECO HRT & Sea Hawk Smart Solutions. All TotalBoat products provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.

I got this paint because a sailing magazine did a test where they painted different parts of a boat with different ablative paints. Total Boat Krypton had the least growth after two years. There was almost nothing there but the paint. The cans are well sealed, they arrived severely dented but did not leak. Maybe see if it can be purchased locally. If you are replacing a marine toilet, try to buy that locally too. I actually heard mine break when the post office lady carried to to my door and abruptly dropped it instead of leaning over to set it down.

I would not recommend oredering this paint, despite it looking likke a decent quality paint. I had a window to get my boat sand blasted and painted, and had put a gallon on, which did not quite cover the bottom. I immediately ordered another gallon, which did not show up, and eventually showed up as the package being damaged. Not knowing the procedure, instead of immediately shipping me a new gallon, they refunded my money, which I am still waiting on. The boatyard could not wait, so I do not know when I can get another slot to get it painted, maybe in a month or two, making me miss the spring season. I saw this happened to someone else, and this is gross incompetence. I should have bought the paint locally, it was not that much more, but I was told that this was good environmentally compliant paint. Well regardless of the quality, if you can't get a gallon of paint in a prompt manner, its no good. Another complaint I have is the paint was so globbed up in the bottom, that I had to buy a paint shaker to get it stirred properly. The boat yard guys was considering using this paint, but are just as disgusted with the crappy service. Given that A) I did not get the paint, B) still don't have it, and C) it was not reshipped promptly instead of giving me a refund, D) The globular nature of the paint, and E) Having to reorder from scratch, despite the paint lookiing halfway decent and applied halfway decently on the can I got, I am still disgusted. Amazon did not specify that I would get a 2-4 day refund instead of a reship, which really disgusted me, they could have emaiiled me. I would not buy this paint, go to your local marine store.

This is by far the best paint I have ever used. The color blue screams "I'm a boat who enjoys life". Goes on smooth with a sheen that is almost reflective. Coverage is amazing! Two coats on a 22ft Grady Seafarer with one gallon and still have a quarter can after touch ups. Cheap, no, but cheap looks cheap. Spend the extra money and you'll be smiling all the down the intercoastal.

The gallon of paint arrived severely dented and with most of the bubble wrap popped inside the box. The handle had popped off of the side of the can as well and couldn't be re-attached. I am very surprised that the can didnt rupture. Despite a this side up sticker on the side of the box, it was placed on its side on my front porch.I have sanded off VC 17 bottom paint and included a photo of the bare hull. I painted a 20" square as a test spot and am so far pleased with the results. When checked the next day, the paint has good adherance and dried completely to a slick finish. Will update this review as I learn more but so far so good.

Good product but one big warning:Looked great after application but my 32-ft Bayliner which I was restoring, I was working on out of the water on its trailer. (would be over a year to finish all). Well, 7-months latter, on the Port side at the top of the paint line where the paint caught the direct sunlight every morning (at 6000 ft in AZ), the blue paint on about 40% of that section had turned black, severely cracked and blistered. This paint is meant to be in the water and does not have the UV protectorate in it and will fail if exposed to direct sun.The starboard side, and what portion of the hull that was angled down, 90% of the hull was in the shade and no problem, looked great!If I had known direct sunlight would cause failure after several months, that one upper section strip on the port side that was not angled down, I would have made sure it was covered to not get hit with direct sun every day and there would have been no problem.I called the company's tech department on 10/27/17 and strongly advised that they put a warning on the can per: ** "This paint is intended to be in the water and may have early failure if exposed to direct sunlight out of the water for an extended period of time." ** or in the alternative that they put a UV protectorate in the paint. (many boats when dry-docked or being worked on will be out of the water for extended periods of time exposed to direct sunlight every day)
