Pettit Premium HRT is a high-performance, multi-season antifouling bottom paint featuring Pettit's advanced Hybrid Reactive Technology (HRT). It combines strong high-copper antifouling protection with a smooth, durable polishing finish designed to withstand demanding marine environments without excessive paint buildup over time.
Premium HRT utilizes a high-density biocide system together with specialized film modifiers to use its antifouling ingredients efficiently while reducing yearly coating buildup, maintaining consistent color and producing a smoother underwater finish than traditional bottom paints.
Equally effective on powerboats and sailboats, Premium HRT delivers excellent antifouling protection, impressive coverage and easy application at an economical price point — making it an excellent choice for recreational boat owners as well as professional boatyards.

Pettit's Hybrid Reactive Technology creates a paint film durable enough to withstand demanding underwater conditions while minimizing the heavy buildup associated with traditional hard antifouling coatings.
Its high-density biocide utilization helps maximize antifouling effectiveness, while specialized film modifiers control the coating's polishing characteristics.
The result is a smooth, durable underwater surface with effective antifouling protection and reduced seasonal buildup.
Premium HRT contains cuprous oxide as its primary antifouling component, providing proven copper-based protection against marine fouling.
Because of its high copper content, the product should be thoroughly mixed before and during application to ensure that settled pigment and active ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the coating.
Pettit Premium HRT is available in:
Black – 1819

Premium HRT can be applied by:
Brush

When rolling, use a high-quality short-nap roller and apply the coating in thin, even coats.
For maximum antifouling performance, Pettit recommends two thin coats over a properly prepared surface.
Premium HRT can be used on properly prepared:
Fiberglass
Wood
Steel
Previously painted surfaces with compatible hard or ablative antifouling coatings
Properly prepared underwater metal components using Pettit's recommended primer system
IMPORTANT: Premium HRT contains copper and should NOT be used on aluminum hulls or outdrives. For aluminum vessels, a copper-free antifouling product such as Pettit ECO HRT is the more appropriate choice.
Premium HRT offers an excellent balance between antifouling performance, durability, ease of application and cost.
Its high-copper Hybrid Reactive Technology provides dependable multi-season protection while its polishing characteristics help minimize the excessive paint buildup that can occur after repeated applications of traditional hard antifouling paints.
For boat owners and professional yards looking for a dependable everyday antifouling without moving into the price range of Pettit's highest-end coatings, Premium HRT is an excellent choice.
Pettit Premium HRT combines high-copper multi-season protection, a smooth polishing finish and excellent value — making it a versatile antifouling solution for powerboats, sailboats and professional boatyards.
