Self-polishing anti-fouling paint is a type of marine paint designed to prevent the build-up of organisms like barnacles and algae on the hull of boats. The paint contains biocides that are slowly released as the boat moves through the water, creating a smooth surface that deters marine growth. As the paint wears away over time, it exposes fresh biocide, maintaining the paint's effectiveness.

What element is used in self luminous paint?
Radium self luminescent paint hasn't been used in decades since the hazards of it's ionising radiation became widely known. Modern technology of self luminescent paint seems to be based on tritium gas in a similar concept to tritium glow sticks but instead contained within micro particles. These micro particles can be painted on or made in to solid plastic. It is self luminous for 20+ years with a 12 year half-life. The company MPK who invented it calls the technology Litrospheres and also has plans for using it to self power solar panels as an energy source. At the present time this self luminescent paint, plastic or energy source technology has not been made available to the public.

Why do the weight of gold reduces after polishing?
The weight of gold reduces after polishing due to the removal of surface impurities and imperfections during the polishing process. As these imperfections are removed, tiny amounts of gold are also lost, leading to a slight reduction in weight.

Why do painters use sand papers in polishing doors?
Painters use sandpaper to smooth out rough or uneven surfaces on doors before painting.

Sandpaper also provides a key for the new coat of paint to bond to, resulting in a smoother finish.

Is International Micron Extra compeitable to Jotun Seaforce 90 if you apply Jotun seaforce 90 over International do you need any interguard or safeguar Do You have to sand down to epoxy layer?
Yes. Seaforce 90 is a self-polishing antifoul (it is however relatively hard in comparison to Micron Extra) and so it compatible with other self-polishing antifouling. Give the existing antifoul a wet sand and apply Micron Extra. If you go back to the epoxy, or there are areas where the current antifoul is suspect then apply a sealer coat of International Primicon.

Why does a car appear shinier after it has been polished?
A car appears shinier after polishing because the polishing process removes minor surface imperfections, such as scratches and swirl marks, which can scatter light. By smoothing the paint surface, polishing enhances the reflection of light, making the surface look glossier. Additionally, polishing often involves the application of wax or sealants that further enhance the shine and protect the paint, contributing to a more vivid and reflective appearance.
