HEMPASPEED TF is a biocide-free antifouling. It forms such a smooth surface that fouling is minimized and friction is reduced.

The new hydrogel technology in the HEMPASPEED TF is a combination of thin layer and hard antifouling. That means it is as robust as a hard antifouling, but with an ultra-smooth surface. It protects against fouling and is easy to clean without chemicals.

Suitable for fresh, salt and brackish water as well as for inland areas. Particularly recommended in areas where biocides may not be used or only to a limited extent (also in the Netherlands).

Suitable for all sports boats with GRP, steel or aluminum hulls, also for regatta and trailer boats.

Application on existing antifouling layer

It is possible to switch from a conventional antifouling to HEMPASPEED TF. The old coating (if it is still intact) does not have to be removed. A layer of HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer is then required as an intermediate layer. Two coats of HEMPASPEED TF should be applied over the primer.

Application as a new coating

When recoating, the substrate must first be sealed with HEMPEL LIGHT Primer before applying HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer and two coats of HEMPASPEED TF.

HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer
HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer is a two-component epoxy resin-based adhesion primer. It was developed to facilitate the change from conventional antifoulings to the biocide-free thin-film antifouling HEMPASPEED TF from HEMPEL. The primer can be applied to existing antifoulings (including International VC-17m) as well as to one- and two-component primers, provided the surface is intact and stable. Attention: The primer does NOT provide corrosion protection, but merely acts as an adhesion promoter.Coverage: approx. 15 m²/literSubstrate pre-treatment: New build: Prime uncoated surfaces with a corrosion protection primer beforehand. Two-component primers based on epoxy resin (e.g. HEMPEL Light Primer) are recommended.Existing antifouling (if load-bearing and intact): Sand the surface with wet sandpaper and water. Rinse the substrate. Clean and dry the surface.Application: Apply a full coat of HEMPEL Conversion Primer. Due to its low viscosity, the Conversion Primer is very thin, so any runners should be smoothed out as quickly as possible. The final coat (e.g. HEMPEL HEMPASPEED TF) can then be applied. Please refer to the technical data sheet for precise information on drying times and recoating intervals.

HEMPEL ECOPOWER Cruise biocide free
Biozidfreies, selbstpolierendes Antifouling, dessen Oberfläche sich durch Reibung im Wasser immer wieder selbst reinigt.Saisonbedingter Bewuchs lässt sich mit Bürsten oder Hochdruckreinigen problemlos entfernen.Schleifen der gereinigten Oberfläche vor dem Folgeanstrich ist nicht notwendig.Empfohlen für alle Gewässer mit geringem Bewuchsdruck (Süßwasser) und hohen Umweltanforderungen. Geeignet für alle Bootsbaumaterialien. Thinner: 808.Yield: approx. 14,3 m²/l. Antifouling tip When completely renewing the underwater coat it makes sense - after first sealing with an Epoxy primer (i.e. Light Primer) - to firstly apply a coat of hard antifouling before two coats of selfpolishing antifouling in another colour. This can save time and money, because only when the colour of the first coat of paint becomes visible, will it become necessary to apply new coats of selfpolishing antifouling.

LEFANT T-COAT 2K Bottom Coating
This light and biocide-free underwater coating is similar to a hard antifouling while being eco-friendly and easy to clean. The epoxy-resin-based coating produces a smooth, dense surface that protects the hull against moisture and corrosion as well as from bio fouling such as algae. LeFant T-Coat is free of silicones and metals and suitable for the use in open and closed waters (e.g. lakes, rivers). If fouling becomes attached to the surface, it can be easily removed mechanically with cleaning sponges, brushes or hull cleaning systems.Suitable GRP/plastic, steel, aluminum. Please note that existing antifouling and one-component underwater primers must be completely removed prior to application of T-Coat. Existing epoxy coating systems in good condition may be retained. For better adhesion and sealing of porous, sandblasted or rough surfaces, as well as when recoating, it is recommended to prime with an epoxy resin based primer like the LEFANT Epoxy Primer, (first coat thinned with 20-30% LEFANT Multi Thinner).To achieve a smooth "racing" surface, the paint can be wet sanded over with a fine grit after curing.Working temperature: minimum 7 °C, an ideal working temperature at 15-25 °C.Color mixing: Mix the primer with the desired color additive, add hardener and stir thoroughly. One paint pot contains 55 ml of paint and is sufficient for a 750 ml can of coating.Coverage: 4-6m²Application: Apply with brush or roller, one 750 ml container is sufficient for about 6m². 2-3 coats (approx. 100 microns/coat) are recommended for a new structure, 3-4 coats for the color white. For the safe and correct application of Lefant T-Coat, please read the product data sheet. You will find it below under "Downloads & Information".

HEMPEL SILIC ONE Propeller-Kit
HEMPEL's SILIC ONE propeller kit is an innovative, biocide-free coating for propellers with technological properties that ensure less frictional resistance and the best possible fouling protection.SILIC ONE is a copper- and biocide-free fouling release coating system based on silicone and hydrogel. Polymers in the coating react with water on the surface and form an invisible protective layer, a so-called hydrogel, between the hull surface and the water. For microorganisms, this layer is perceived as a liquid, so that they do not attach themselves to the hull in the first place. On the other hand, the micro-rough structure and the smooth surface tension prevent fouling organisms from becoming firmly anchored, so that they fall off again through manual cleaning or when moving quickly through the water.Suitable for fresh, salt and brackish water as well as inland areas. Particularly recommended in areas where biocides may not be used or only to a limited extent (also in the Netherlands).The Propller-Kit consists of:1x 375 ml SilicOne TieCoat,1x 375 ml SilicOne in blackImportant: Please note that the propeller must be free of any old paint/antifouling. We recommend that you adhere very closely to the processing instructions and recoating intervals in the application data sheet.For first time coating it is recommended to use HEMPEL Light Primer, which you have to order seperately.
