Product catalog summary
Introduction
Hempaspeed TF is a cutting-edge, sustainable solution for underwater protection, offering a hard, thin-film, biocide-free coating. It is designed to minimize growth and drag on boats, providing an ultra-smooth finish without run-off contamination.
Specifications
The product is available in True Blue, Ultimate White, Black, and Penta Grey shades. It is suitable for pleasure boats, regatta sailing boats, powerboats, and trailer boats, especially in areas with biocide restrictions. The product is offered in 750ml and 2.5L sizes.
Technology
Hempaspeed TF utilizes a new patent-pending technology that infuses hydrogel into a robust acrylic film. This results in a biocide-free, hard coating that is easy to clean and safe for aluminum hulls.
Application Procedures
For full-season protection, apply one coat of Hempel’s Conversion Primer followed by two coats of Hempaspeed TF. The conversion system can be applied over old antifouling or on new hulls with specific primers. Overcoating times vary with temperature, ranging from 3 to 48 hours.
Maintenance
Seasonal recoating involves washing, sanding, and applying the coating system. Cleaning may be required during the season, and painting should be avoided in rainy conditions.
General Advice
Follow all label instructions carefully, considering surface preparation and paint specifications. The product is suitable for glass fibre, steel, and aluminum boats.
Company Background
Hempel is a global leader in coating solutions, founded in 1915 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company is committed to extending asset lifetimes, reducing maintenance costs, and supporting cultural, social, humanitarian, and scientific purposes worldwide.
