Description

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.

Note: The effectiveness of biocide-free underwater coatings depends on the area of operation and the boat's sailing characteristics. Regular inspection of the hull during the season is recommended. Any fouling that occurs can be minimized by gentle cleaning with a sponge or soft brush.
