Hempel Ecopower Prop 0,5L

Ecopower Prop is a biocide-free spray paint designed for the coating of propellers, propeller devices and trim tabs. This special coating makes it difficult for vegetation to adhere tightly, making it easier to detach and remove during cleaning. Ecopower Prop utilizes advanced binder technology that drives self-renewal throughout the boating season, preventing paint build-up.

Recommended use:

Propellers, propeller devices, trim tabs and traction devices.
