SURFACE PREPARATION:
Preparation: Always ensure all surfaces are clean, oil free and dry. Clean the surface and remove possible oil and grease with a suitable detergent and sand with dry abrasive paper. Carefully remove dust with fresh water.
Uncoated surface: Prime prepared surface with HEMPEL’S LIGHT PRIMER 45551 and apply a tiecoat of HEMPEL’S UNDERWATER PRIMER 26030 whilst the surface is still tacky.
Existing old self-polishing or traditional antifouling: Remove loose matter and contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Allow to dry.
Existing old hard matrix antifouling or an unknown antifouling:
High pressure fresh water clean, wet abrade, remove dust. Clean and dry the surface. If condition of previous antifouling is poor, seal with 1 coat of HEMPEL’S UNDERWATER PRIMER 26030. If previous antifouling is in general bad condition, it is recommended to remove previous coats and prime before applying antifouling.
PRODUCT APPLICATION: Method: Apply 2 coats of the Antifouling paint at 40 μm dry film thickness each. Apply an additional coat around the waterline and high wear areas. Add thinner to assist application if necessary: max. 5%.
Stir product well before use. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection.
Colours/Colour stability: Final colour develops after 1 week immersion in water. Length of service may have a certain influence on colour. The antifouling may obtain a copper-green tinge. There might be a slight difference in colour from batch to batch. Mix before painting.
