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.
