HEMPEL HEMPASPEED TF Antifouling

HEMPASPEED TF is a biocide-free antifouling. It forms such a smooth surface that fouling is minimized and friction is reduced.

The new hydrogel technology in the HEMPASPEED TF is a combination of thin layer and hard antifouling. That means it is as robust as a hard antifouling, but with an ultra-smooth surface. It protects against fouling and is easy to clean without chemicals.

Suitable for fresh, salt and brackish water as well as for inland areas. Particularly recommended in areas where biocides may not be used or only to a limited extent (also in the Netherlands).

Suitable for all sports boats with GRP, steel or aluminum hulls, also for regatta and trailer boats.

Application on existing antifouling layer

It is possible to switch from a conventional antifouling to HEMPASPEED TF. The old coating (if it is still intact) does not have to be removed. A layer of HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer is then required as an intermediate layer. Two coats of HEMPASPEED TF should be applied over the primer.

Application as a new coating

When recoating, the substrate must first be sealed with HEMPEL LIGHT Primer before applying HEMPEL CONVERSION Primer and two coats of HEMPASPEED TF.
