Employees at Interlux® North America headquarters in New Jersey recently used the company’s antifouling, topcoat and deck paint systems on the sailing yacht Catalina 22, to know better what Interlux customers experience during the bottom painting process and to get acquainted with the products included InterProtect 2000E epoxy barrier coat, Trilux 33 antifouling, 404 Epoxy primer, Perfection topcoat and Interdeck and with the company manufactures.

The company acquired the sailing yacht Catalina 22 in need of serious restoration and employees from the factory, warehouse, customer service, accounting and purchasing departments got the opportunity to see first hand how to restore the exterior of a yacht to make it look like new.
However, only half the yacht was painted from bow to stern. “We decided to use the opportunity to educate and inform boat owners what they can truly achieve, without much knowledge or training in paint. There is nothing like showing the ‘before and after’. It’s really striking what you can do. This yacht was in very poor condition, so if you have a yacht in reasonable condition, the job will be even easier. If you can paint your kitchen cabinets, you can paint your yacht,” said Interlux North America Marketing Manager Elenor Ekman.
