Description

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 black

Important: 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.

HEMPEL LIGHT PRIMER
HEMPEL LIGHT PRIMER is a high-quality 2-component epoxy primer for applications below and above the water. It can be used on rigid substrates as a barrier against penetrating water vapor, on GRP for osmosis prevention and repair, and on metal surfaces as corrosion protection. It can also be used on plywood and hardwood. Very suitable as an adhesion promoter for top coats and antifouling. Technical DataSubstrate: GRP, plywood, steel, aluminium, existing coatingsSurface preparation:GRP: sand, cleanPlywood: seal with suitable sealerSteel: high-pressure fresh water wash, sandblast or mechanically remove rust and cleanAluminium: non-metallic abrasive blasting, degreaseOld coatings: sand, clean, dryPorous surfaces: prime first coat of Light Primer with 20% thinnerTopcoat: standard 1K and 2K products (see data sheet)Coverage: 8.2 m²/l at 60 µm dry film thicknessThinner: HEMPEL'S THINNER 845 (Art.No. 2577-022)Application method: Brush, roller, airless spray (professional use)Drying times at 10 °C: Dust dry after 6 hrs; recoatable after 9 hrsFurther information on application can be found in the technical data sheet under “Downloads”.
