Product Description Epifanes Multiforte Black, 4000ml (MFB.4000) is a fast‑drying, tough satin coating designed for decks, gangways, work areas, and other high‑traffic surfaces above the waterline. Multiforte provides excellent adhesion, a hard‑wearing finish, and long‑lasting durability in demanding marine environments. This coating is suitable for use on fiberglass (FRP), wood, steel, aluminum, and even concrete floors. Multiforte can be applied over any existing single‑component paint system—regardless of brand—and over Epifanes one‑component primers. It should not be overcoated with other one‑component paints; only Multiforte should be used for subsequent coats to avoid tension‑related failure. Multiforte Black is ideal for commercial vessels, workboats, walkways, and any surface requiring a strong, abrasion‑resistant satin finish. Packaged in 4L containers.
