AN ANTIFOULING THAT REALLY WORKS 

DOES THIS REALLY EXIST? 

​

​

 

With the new 2020 SOx regulations, efficiency has never been more important

 

In difficult conditions, the first impulse is to make savings across the board. But cheap can be expensive, especially when it comes to your hull coating.

​

If you think long-term and invest in high-performance products, you can make significant savings. With our latest advanced hull coating system, you can even achieve fuel savings that pay for themselves in just three months in commercial shipping.

! YES THERE IS !  

5 YEARS OR 7 YEARS 

FUNCTIONAL GUARANTEE

​

There were and are very effective antifouling coatings. However, these were and are mainly used in commercial shipping and are not easily accessible to recreational shipping. We use a silicone hydrogel alternative modified from commercial shipping with a growth protection of 5 or 7 years. With our long-term antifouling coating, this means that the antifouling protection does not have to be renewed every year, but only after 5 or 7 years, depending on the system applied.

​

This fouling protection system is based on a solid fouling defense coating based on ActiGuard ® technology. Thanks to the additional effect of hydrogel silicone and an approved biocide that prevents fouling, it increases the antifouling barrier and extends the fouling-free time to 5 years or 7 years with a 2-layer application.

 

The hydrogel-silicone antifouling coating is applied in multiple layers using the airless spray process. A very smooth surface is created, which generates speed increases of up to 10%. The boat starts planing much faster and fuel consumption decreases.

​

After 5 or 7 years the boat comes out of the water and is cleaned with a special cleaner. Then a new layer of the hydrogel silicone antifouling coating is applied. After that, the boat can be lowered into the water again and you have 5 years of peace from the annoying antifouling issue.

SCHEDULE

01

Preparation hull 

​

Removal of old antifouling via soda ice sandblasting or stripping, scraping and agrind by hand. We prefer wet sandblasting or ice blast removal

02

substrate treatment

 

Then several layers of Hempel High Protect are applied as a basis to protect against osmosis. On this layer will be 

3-4 layers of Hempel Light 2K primer applied to get a solid sustainable base of the underwater hull. 

​

03

Pretreatment silicone
 

Then a
3-component  silicone primer processed in 2 layers.

This is the most important part of the complete hull construction. Here the strictest time specifications must be observed

04

silicone Hydrogel 

 

Finally we wear 1-2 layers of the

2-component silicone hydrogel coating with a total functional guarantee of 7 years on the previously applied special primer.

GROWTH

"The product is amazing" 

​

"Now it's on, this cool new stuff! In 5 years I'll squirt again and it's good! I'm really excited, it feels dry like rubber and as soon as water gets on it it's totally slippery.

​

4 weeks and nothing!!! nothing on it! Now, after almost 4 months in the water, exactly 5 smallpox - 3 in one place where the foil from the crane belt was not clean on it and in a second place 2 pieces - here I have a scratch in the antifouling which, it looks like, from flotsam originates! You are welcome to take a look at my water pass on the jetty. 

I'll be taking underwater pictures soon - it's fascinating how it looks - thousands of small air bubbles on the hull after driving and smooth as glass!"

SPEED

"The product is sensational

​

"Hello Didi! Boat drives sensationally. Before about 42 knots, now 46 knots. It also comes out of the water much faster. 

Greetings Peter"

SLIDEABILITY

​

"I love it" 

​

"Before, my boat started planing at 2,300 rpm. Now my REGAL is already gliding at 1,850 rpm. After driving, the entire hull is covered with lots of small air bubbles. I also no longer have any antifouling paint on my body when I'm next to go swimming in the boat."

Here, too, the Finsulate AF foil was replaced by a hydrogel siliconeon coating

DRIVING FEATURE

"Totally enthusiastic"

​

"The ship is going again. Excellent! Constantly over 9kn with 18kn wind.

Like in the good old days. Everyone is very happy. 

Thank you very much Didi"
