Hempel’s silicone/hydrogel technology redefines antifouling protection for modern vessels. This patent offers an advanced and sustainable alternative to traditional paints by causing dirt and marine organisms to slip off the surface, minimizing adhesion.
Advantages
- Biocide-free solution, effective in reducing environmental impact.
- Maximizes hull speed and efficiency due to its ultra-smooth finish.
- Recommended for vessels requiring low maintenance and minimal drag.
- Red color, ideal for hulls visible underwater.
Applications and Compatibilities
- Suitable for high-performance sailboats and yachts.
- Check compatibility over previous paints; may require specific primer.
- Do not apply on aluminum without prior confirmation.
Application and Maintenance Tips
- Use gloves and non-abrasive materials.
- Carefully prepare the surface by removing old residues and grease.
- Follow technical data sheet for number of coats and drying times.
