Antifouling paints and antifouling paints

Blakes Cruising Antifouling Paint 0.75L

Blakes Cruising 7108C is renowned for its excellent value for money, offering the same performance as many of the more expensive antifouling paints on the market. This hard antifouling paint is designed to prevent growth such as algae and gunk from adhering to the bottom of your boat, improving performance and reducing fuel consumption. Unlike some soft antifouling paints, the hard paint does not require constant movement of the boat to stay clean. This makes it an excellent choice for all types of boats, especially those that spend long periods in port or at anchor.

Blakes Cruising is easy to use and long-lasting, making it the perfect choice for both amateur and experienced boaters. This paint has been specially developed for the demanding conditions of Finnish waters, and will keep your boat's bottom clean and protected throughout the boating season.

Applications and compatibility
Blakes Cruising Anti-Fouling Paint is suitable for fiberglass, wood, plywood and steel boats. It is not recommended for aluminum surfaces and other light metals as direct contact can cause corrosion. This makes it an ideal choice for boats that operate in marine and brackish water areas.

Features that support efficiency

High-quality primer: Blakes Cruising can be combined with Hempel's Underwater Primer for optimal adhesion and protection.
Long-lasting protection: Three coats are enough to ensure the boat's bottom stays clean, even at speeds over 20 knots.
Easy application: Suitable for both brush and roller, and can be thinned with Hempel's Thinner 808 if necessary.

Pre-treatment and application instructions

Before painting, the boat bottom should be thoroughly cleaned with high-pressure fresh water to remove salts, detergent residues and algae growth. If necessary, use Hempel's Underwater Primer to ensure optimal adhesion. Apply Blakes Cruising to a dry and clean surface at a temperature of at least 3?°C above the dew point. The relative humidity should not exceed 85% for proper adhesion and long-lasting durability. Thin with Hempel's Thinner 808 if necessary; avoid over-thinning. Three coats are recommended, especially at speeds over 20 knots. If the boat bottom has not been painted before, 4 coats of 2-component primer ( Light Primer ) and one coat of 1-component primer ( Underwater Primer ) should be applied to the bottom. The 2-component primer prevents water from penetrating the paint surface and prevents problems with the boat hull, such as fiberglass rot. Underwater Primer ensures that the antifouling paint sticks to the bottom, as the surface of the 2-component primer becomes really hard and slippery, where some paints do not stick well.

Storage and durability
Blakes Cruising anti-fouling paint will last up to 60 months in its original unopened packaging. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

By choosing Blakes Cruising 7108C you ensure that your boat's bottom is protected and clean all season long. This high quality primer is a reliable choice for all types of boats, and its ease of use and long lasting protection make it a market leader.

Hempel Hard Racing Xtra Antifouling Paint 0,75L

Hempel Hard Racing Antifouling paint

A hard, antifouling paint specifically designed for fast motorboats, racing sailboats and trailer boats. Hard racing paint provides effective protection on the bottom of the boat for the entire season.

Excellent performance

Hempel Hard Racing antifouling can be sanded to a very smooth finish, which improves the boat's hydrodynamic efficiency and allows for the lowest possible friction in the water. Its hard texture makes it particularly suitable for fast boats where a durable and effective antifouling paint is required.

Versatile use

This antifouling paint is suitable for all surfaces except aluminium. It is used below the waterline and can be applied to fibreglass, wood, plywood and steel boats. However, do not use the paint on aluminium boats or other light metals as direct contact may cause corrosion to the boat hull.

Launching and final tone

Hempel Hard Racing Antifouling allows launching as early as 24 hours but no later than 6 months after painting. This gives you flexibility in renovating your boat. The paint reaches its final shade within a week of being in the water, ensuring not only protection but also an aesthetic finish.

Hard antifouling paints

Hard antifouling paints have a high content of insoluble resin on the surface, which makes it hard and not

become brittle. The resin contains active ingredients, and their particles are so close together that as one dissolves, the next is exposed. The hardness and durability of these antifouling products make them ideal for fast

for boats, beached boats and racing sailboats (antifouling paint can be polished before launching

with wet sandpaper).

Antifouling paint painting

Hempel Light Primer -> Hempel Underwater Primer -> Hempel Hard Racing:

Good adhesion/protection, easier maintenance painting, cost savings in the long run, especially suitable when painting the entire system on new boats. Advantages: During seasonal maintenance painting, when/if the antifouling has worn off, a new coat can be painted directly over Hempel's Underwater Primer. When the old paint has been completely removed or the boat has never been painted before, 4x Hempel Light primer coats and 1x Hempel Underwater coat should be applied to the bottom. Light Primer is a 2-component paint that prevents water from entering the boat's hull. This prevents problems such as fiberglass rot. The Underwater paint coat ensures that the antifouling paint adheres to the bottom. 2-K paints become very hard and slippery when they dry, where some paints do not adhere well.

Alternative system:

Hempel Light Primer -> Hempel Hard Racing:

Faster to paint, possibility to spot paint epoxy. Antifouling should be applied while Hempel's Light Primer is still tacky/leathery. Disadvantage: During seasonal maintenance painting, when/if the antifouling has worn off, a new coat of Hempel's Light Primer should be applied to ensure adhesion

Hempel Mille Xtra Antifouling Paint 0.75L

Hempel Mille Xtra antifouling paint is an effective solution for protecting the bottom of a sailboat from unwanted organisms. Organisms that stick to the bottom of a boat not only make the boat look untidy, but can also cause problems for the boat's operation. Organisms can interfere with the operation of the propeller and drive system, block the engine's water channels, slow down the boat's speed and increase fuel consumption.

Antifouling paints are a crucial part of boat maintenance, especially in marine areas. Painting not only protects the boat, but also keeps the hull surface smooth. A rough surface increases water resistance, reduces top speed and increases fuel consumption.

The rate of growth varies depending on several factors, such as water temperature, salinity and water purity. Even boats operating under similar conditions can have very different rates of growth, as factors such as sunlight, shade, temperature, water flow and water salinity can affect this.

Mille Xtra paint action

Antifouling paints work by releasing bioactive compounds such as copper oxide and organic biocides. These compounds are water-soluble and inhibit the growth of bottom organisms on the boat. There are three main types of paints: gloss, hard and soft. Hempel Mille Xtra 7166C falls into the gloss category and is a self-polishing, sand-free, copper-based antifouling paint.

Hempel Mille xtra antifouling paint is designed to keep the bottom of your boat clean and free from water friction. It is suitable for all surfaces except aluminium and is used below the waterline. Launching is possible after 24 hours at the earliest, but no later than 6 months. The paint reaches its final colour after approximately one week in the water. The product can be thinned with Thinner 808 and has a coverage of 13 m²/litre.

Hempel's Mille Xtra 7166C provides effective protection for the bottom of a boat, while maintaining boat performance and fuel efficiency. Its self-polishing property reduces the hassle of removing old paint, making it a convenient choice for boaters, as paint layers do not build up as quickly.

Application methods and tools for Hempel Mille Xtra Antifouling

1. Brush usage- Smooth and versatile

Use a high-quality brush, preferably as wide as possible for painting.

Avoid using new, unused brushes when applying the final coat.

Use the cross-draw method to ensure an even result.

Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle, avoiding brush marks.

Wash the brush about every 30 minutes to achieve a clean painting result.

2. Using the roller - Fast and efficient

Choose a short-pile mohair roller for quick painting.

Use felt and foam rollers to achieve a smooth surface.

Always use the cross-pull technique to ensure even application.

Finish with a brush or pad for a high-quality finish.

Wrap masking tape around the roller when you first put a new roller into service to remove any loose fibers.

3. Using a cushion - Smooth result

Use the pad immediately after applying the paint.

Pull the pad only vertically, avoiding paint streaks.

Required actions:

Make sure the surface is clean, grease-free and leveled.

Use Hempel Epoxy Filler/Hempel Profair to fill in cracks and dents. Wash the surface with Hempel Pre-Clean or Hempel Degreaser.

Ensure that the primer surface is intact and that the required thickness of Epoxy Primer (Hempel Light Primer) is applied underneath to ensure a water barrier and prevent fiberglass rot. Hempel Underwater primer can be used as a bonding paint.

Keep the surface sanded and dust-free before painting.

Follow the appropriate painting instructions for different surfaces.

Painting tips:

Pretreat the surface carefully to achieve the best results.

Avoid dust sticking to wet paint by wetting the area under the boat before painting.

Stir the paint thoroughly before use and stir if necessary during painting.

Remove masking tape before the paint dries for neater borders.

Wearable/soft antifoulings: If overcoating wearable or soft antifoulings (or if the previous paint is in poor condition), it is recommended to use Hempel Underwater Primer before applying the antifouling.

Apply an extra layer to the waterline and the leading edge of the keel, as these are where water flow is greatest.

Thinning: Antifouling products are generally not recommended to be thinned. In very cold weather, thinning by 10% may help with application. Thinner 808

Warning: Never dry sand old antifouling paint as the dust it creates can be toxic.

Important:

Hempel Silic One Silicone Antifouling Paint

Hempel Silic One is an environmentally friendly silicone-based anti-fouling coating for your boat.

Hempel's Silic One is a new silicone-based antifouling coating designed to replace traditional antifouling paints on boats. This non-toxic alternative is significantly more environmentally friendly, based on silicone and hydrogel. The product offers water-like properties, making it difficult for organisms to attach to the boat's surface and to easily detach when the boat is in motion.

Why choose a silicone-based antifouling coating?

Silic One is a biocide-free, anti-fouling method. It forms a non-stick surface without copper, providing durable protection for your boat. The hydrogel is based on unique, non-reactive polymers, creating an invisible sealing layer between the boat hull surface and the water. This prevents fouling from forming because organisms and algae perceive the hull as a liquid and do not try to attach to it as eagerly.

Cleaning and maintenance

Silicone is self-cleaning on fast powerboats, while slow boats and sailboats can be surface cleaned as needed. The surface is easy to clean with a pressure washer and fresh water or a sponge. Maintenance is easy and less expensive than using traditional antifouling paint. Applying a new coating every two years keeps the surface antifouling effective.

Frequently asked questions

Does Silic One save fuel? - Yes, easy cleanability keeps the friction in the frame low.
Can Silic One be applied in cool weather? - The minimum temperature is 10°C.
How sensitive is Silic One to moisture? - Always apply to a dry surface, never wet.
How soon can a boat be launched after painting with Silic One? - Within 24 hours - 1 month after treatment.
Can Silic One be applied over old antifouling paint? - Yes, with the help of Silic Seal / Conversion Primer.
Is Hempel's Silic One removable? - Yes, use Hempel's Silicone Remover.

Safety Considerations

Make sure the lifting straps are properly tied so that they do not slip out of place when raising and lowering the boat.

Applying the Silic One system over old antifouling paint

Switching from a traditional antifouling paint to Hempel's Silic One Fouling Release System is easy using Hempel's Silic Seal / Conversion Primer, a two-component epoxy primer. Below are step-by-step instructions for preparing and applying the Silic One system over an existing, good quality antifouling paint:

1. Preparation of the surface to be treated:

Check the condition of the boat's current antifouling paint using a metal scraper.

Remove loose or poorly adhering layers if the old paint is poorly adhered.

Sand with wet sandpaper until smooth.

Rinse the surface thoroughly with fresh water.

Let the surface dry.

2. Application:

Mix the two components of Silic Seal / Conversion Primer thoroughly, ensuring a uniform consistency. Please note that the viscosity of the product is very low and any spillages must be cleaned up immediately. Thinning is not recommended.

The processing time at 20 °C is 8 hours.

The minimum operating temperature is 5 °C.

3. Layers:

Layer 1: Apply Silic Seal / Conversion Primer.

Layer 2: Apply Silic One Tiecoat.

Silic One Tiecoat must be applied to the entire surface to ensure adhesion.

Layer 3 and 4: Apply two layers of Silic One coating.

4. Launching:

Launching must be done after the last layer.

Time: Minimum 36 hours and maximum 1 month at 10 degrees Celsius. Minimum 24 hours at 20 degrees Celsius.

By following these instructions you will ensure an effective transition from your old antifouling coating to Hempel's Silic One system. Remember to follow the recommended times and temperatures for the best possible results.

Applying the Silic One system to a new boat without epoxy paint

1. Preparation of the surface to be treated

Clean with a suitable detergent and sand with dry sandpaper (P120). Rinse carefully with water. Allow the surface to dry.

Apply 5 coats of Hempel Light Primer, the first coat thinned 20%. Then apply one coat of Silic One Tiecoat. Silic One Tiecoat must be applied to the entire surface to ensure adhesion.

Finally, apply two coats of Silic One paint.

International B-Free Explore Antifouling Paint

B-Free Explore is a biocide-free antifouling paint for use on underwater parts of boat hulls. When in the water, the paint forms a very slippery and smooth film on the surface, which effectively prevents the attachment of vegetation, while improving the boat's performance and reducing fuel consumption. B-Free Explore provides the same long-lasting protection as regular antifouling paints, but with less maintenance and without the harmful environmental effects of biocides.
