The SILIC ONE developed by HEMPEL is a copper- and biocide-free fouling release coating system based on silicone and hydrogel. Due to its special surface properties, it makes it more difficult for fouling-forming organisms to adhere and also makes their removal easier when moving through the water or by manual cleaning by hand. Suitable for fresh, salt, and brackish water as well as for inland waters. Particularly recommended in areas where biocides may not be used or may only be used to a limited extent (including in the Netherlands). Suitable for plywood, GRP, steel, or aluminum hulls, for fast motorboats as well as sailboats.How it works: Polymers contained in the coating react with water at 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 settle on the hull in the first place. The micro-rough structure and the smooth surface tension also prevent a firm anchoring of fouling-forming organisms, so that they fall off again through manual cleaning or when traveling quickly through the water.Application: With the help of HEMPEL CONVERSION PRIMER, SILIC ONE can also be applied to existing antifouling coatings (in good condition). For this, one coat of CONVERSION PRIMER and then one coat of TIECOAT are applied. For a new coating, priming with HEMPEL LIGHT PRIMER is recommended and then one coat of TIECOAT is applied. For the initial application, two coats of SILIC ONE are required; afterwards, one maintenance coat per season is sufficient for refreshing, if the hull is kept dry in winter. In the water, however, the coating lasts up to 3 years. No more than 30 days should pass between painting and launching the hull. Application with roller or brush is possible; the surface temperature for processing and curing should be at least 10°C.Technical DataArea of use: Waters with light to medium foulingBoat type: Sailboats and motorboatsSubstrate: HEMPEL SILIC ONE TIECOAT; suitable for GRP, steel, aluminum, and plywoodPrimer: HEMPEL SILIC ONE TIECOAT (Art.

HEMPEL SILIC ONE TIECOAT is a high-strength, silicone-based adhesion promoter for the SILIC ONE fouling protection system below the waterline. The product ensures adhesion between suitable primers and HEMPEL SILIC ONE and is suitable for boats made of GRP and steel.Application: Suitable below the waterline as an adhesion promoter in the HEMPEL silicone fouling protection system. The substrate must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. On intact old coatings, one coat of HEMPEL'S CONVERSION PRIMER must be applied; on deteriorated surfaces, after removing the old coating and sanding, 1 coat of HEMPEL'S LIGHT PRIMER. Surfaces already primed with a two-component primer are sanded and prepared with 1 coat of HEMPEL'S LIGHT PRIMER. Stir well before use and apply 1 coat. The product must not be thinned and is applied by brush or roller. The surface temperature must be above 10 °C during application and curing, and the relative humidity must be between 30 and 85 %.Technical DataApplication area: Adhesion promoter for HEMPEL SILIC ONE (item no. 2577-227) below the waterlineSubstrate: surfaces prepared with HEMPEL'S LIGHT PRIMER (item no. 2577-055) or HEMPEL'S CONVERSION PRIMER (item no. 2577-918)Coverage: approx. 10 m²/l at 70 µm dry film thicknessThinning: do not thinApplication method: brush, rollerDrying times (at 10 °C): dust dry/hard dry after approx. 3 hrs.; fully cured after 4 daysPot life: 60 min. at 20 °CFurther information on processing can be found in the technical data sheet under 'Downloads'.
