Pettit Splash Zone A788CA2G Two-Part Epoxy Compound Gallon Kit

Pettit Splash Zone A788CA2G Two-Part Epoxy Compound, Gallon Kit

Overview

Pettit Splash Zone is a heavy-duty, two-component epoxy compound formulated for the harshest marine environments. It delivers an extremely hard, abrasion- and impact-resistant finish that protects metals, concrete, and wood both above and below the waterline including the demanding splash zone where surfaces cycle repeatedly between wet and dry. Mixed and applied as a thick compound, Splash Zone bonds tenaciously to a wide range of substrates and cures to a durable shell that resists corrosion, erosion, and deterioration in both salt and fresh water.

Key Features

• Extremely hard, abrasion- and impact-resistant finish
• Bonds to metal, concrete, wood, and fiberglass above and below the waterline
• Suitable for salt water and fresh water environments
• Two-component epoxy system full gallon kit (Part A + Part B)
• Thick compound consistency for gap-filling, patching, and heavy-build coating
• Not for use in potable water systems
• Not recommended for fully submerged patching or grouting applications

Compatible Applications

• Boat hull structural patching and protective coating
• Steel and aluminum hull corrosion protection in the splash zone
• Buoy, dock, and piling repair and protection
• Bridge abutments and concrete marine structures
• Below-waterline metal surface protection (excluding fully submerged grouting)
• Boatyard and marine contractor hull restoration projects
• Concrete dock and ramp surface restoration

Mixing & Application

• Mix Part A and Part B thoroughly according to manufacturer ratio before applying
• Apply by trowel or brush as a compound to the prepared surface
• Surface must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, and loose material prior to application
• Abrade substrate to promote mechanical adhesion before applying
• Follow Pettit technical data sheet for pot life, recoat window, and full cure times these vary by temperature
• Protect from moisture exposure until initial cure is complete

Technical Notes

• Two-part epoxy systems have a finite pot life once mixed plan your application area accordingly
• Cure time is temperature-dependent; cold conditions significantly extend working and cure times
• Not a topcoat finish with an appropriate antifouling or topside paint for above-waterline UV protection
• Contains solvents; use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE
• Not approved for potable water contact
• Not intended for fully submerged structural grouting applications

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: This is the right product when a customer needs serious structural protection or repair on a surface that goes in and out of the water hull topsides near the waterline, metal pilings, buoys, and concrete dock edges. It excels anywhere that sees physical abrasion and repeated wet/dry cycling. Boatyards and contractors regularly reach for Splash Zone for hull patching and below-waterline metal prep before antifouling application.

Common Issues: The most frequent problem is customers applying it directly over unprepared surfaces adhesion failures are almost always traced back to inadequate surface prep. Remind customers to sand or grind the substrate and degrease thoroughly first. Pot life is also a common surprise: in warm weather, the mixed compound sets faster than expected, so mixing only what can be applied immediately is important. Customers expecting a paint-like finish should know this is a compound it goes on thick and may need sanding between Splash Zone and a topcoat.
