HEMPEL'S Hempaspeed TF is a hard, biocide-free thin-layer coating for all sports boats with GRP, steel or aluminum hulls, including regatta and trailer boats. Thanks to the special hydrogel technology, it forms an ultra-smooth surface that minimizes fouling and also reduces friction. Suitable for fresh, salt and brackish water as well as inland areas. Particularly recommended in areas where the use of biocides is prohibited or restricted (also in the Netherlands). 

Application on existing antifouling layer: It is possible to switch from a conventional antifouling to Hempaspeed TF. The old coating (if still intact) does not need to be removed. A coat of HEMPEL Conversion Primer should be applied as an adhesion primer, followed by two coats of Hempaspeed TF.

Application as a new coating: When applying a new coating, the substrate must first be sealed with HEMPEL Light Primer before applying HEMPEL Conversion Primer and two coats of Hempaspeed TF.

Technical Data

  • Area of use: For fresh and saltwater with medium fouling; mechanical cleaning may be necessary in high fouling areas
  • Boat type: For sport and racing boats, suitable for high-speed vessels
  • Substrate: GRP, steel, aluminium; suitable over existing antifouling in good condition
  • Primer: HEMPEL Conversion Primer
  • Coverage: 11 m²/l
  • Thinner: HEMPEL'S Thinner 808
  • Application method: Brush, roller, airless spray (professional use)
  • Drying times: Touch dry after 30 min at 10 °C; recoatable after 8 hrs at 10 °C
  • Refloating time (time between painting and launching): 24 hrs to 3 months

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. Caution: The primer does NOT provide corrosion protection, but merely acts as an adhesion promoter. Prime uncoated surfaces with a corrosion protection primer beforehand. Two-component primers based on epoxy resin (e.g. HEMPEL Light Primer) are recommended. Technical DataSubstrate: Existing antifouling in good condition (not suitable for bare surfaces)Surface preparation:Wet sand old antifouling with water and waterproof paperRinse with fresh water, clean and allow to drySurface must be clean, dry and free of greaseTopcoat: HEMPEL's Silic One Tiecoat, Hempaspeed TFCoverage: approx. 15 m²/l at 25 µm dry film thicknessThinner: Do not thinApplication method: Brush, roller Mixing ratio: 3:1 (Base:Hardener by volume)Pot life: 8 hrs at 20 °CDrying times at 20 °C: Dust dry after 1¼ hrs; recoatable after 2 hrs (Silic One Tiecoat), 30 min (Hempaspeed TF); fully cured after 7 daysFurther information on processing can be found in the technical data sheet under “Downloads”.
