5 ProPrimer enables SilicOne to be applied to running gear and propellers. ADVANTAGES OF SILIC ONE INCLUDE: • Fouling release technology: Instead of using biocides, Silic One relies on its smooth surface to make it difficult for organisms to attach, ensuring top performance for boats that stay in the water for long periods. • Long-lasting protection: Silic One offers durable fouling release over multiple seasons, reducing the frequency of maintenance and the need for costly dry docking. • Versatile application: Like Hempaspeed TF, Silic One can be used not just on the hull but also on propellers and running gear, providing complete fouling release protection.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COATING FOR YOUR BOAT Whether you trailer your boat frequently or keep it in the water year-round, selecting the right underwater protection solution is crucial. Here’s a quick guide to help determine which Hempel coating is best for you: • Hempaspeed TF: Best for boats that are trailered or dry-stored between uses. Its hard acrylic base ensures long-lasting protection, even out of the water, while being eco-friendly and compliant with newer regulations. It’s also perfect for use on propellers and running gear, making it a versatile choice. • Silic One: Ideal for boats that remain in the water throughout the season. Its silicone-based technology provides superior fouling release, keeping your hull, propellers, and running gear clean and efficient without constant maintenance. Both products offer legal compliance with newer regulations while delivering excellent fouling release protection, so no matter what type of boat you own or how it’s stored, Hempel has a solution to suit your needs. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND LONG-TERM SAVINGS Boaters are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of choosing coatings that comply with national environmental laws. Many traditional antifouling paints rely on harmful biocides that can have long-term detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. Both Hempel’s Silic One and Hempaspeed TF meet the stricter legal requirements in Canada by offering biocide-free alternatives that protect your boat while safeguarding the environment. In addition to regulatory compliance, the use of these coatings also offers long-term savings. By reducing drag and preventing fouling, both products help boaters improve fuel efficiency and reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. This leads to less downtime for your boat and more time on the water—saving money in the long run. CONCLUSION Marine fouling may be a constant challenge, but with Hempel’s innovative solutions, Boaters can protect their vessels, enhance performance, and comply with environmental standards. Whether you need the hard acrylic protection of Hempaspeed TF for trailered boats or the advanced fouling release of Silic One for boats that stay in the water, Hempel offers top-tier marine coatings for every boating need. No matter what kind of vessel you own, Hempel has a solution to prevent marine fouling. ProPrimer + Tiecoat ProPrimer ProPrimer, Tiecoat + Black Silic One Unpainted
