The article doesn't say much about that. Since it is an upgraded version of CSC I would think, that should not be a problem.

Do they say whether it can be applied over CSC? I would suspect so.

I logged into the Interlux website:

They don't mention MICRON EXTRA at all. They still have MICRON CSC EXTRA, though. Perhaps they haven't updated the pages.

They also mention MICRON 44c, designed to work better against slime. Its coverage is 375 sqft/gal vs 440 for csc extra.

There is a full page add on page 49 in the march issue of Sail magazine. It is only for the new MICRON EXTRA, I guess they are a little slow getting their web site updated. It is also for sale in the new BOAT US catalog.
