Hempel Self-Polishing A/F is an effective and cost-efficient self-polishing antifouling for powerboats and sailboats that provides reliable protection against algae, slime, and other fouling throughout the sailing season.
The self-polishing technology ensures that the paint's active surface is continuously renewed while sailing. This helps keep the boat's bottom clean and smooth, which reduces drag through the water and can help maintain the boat's speed and fuel economy.
Hempel Self-Polishing A/F is suitable for boats made of fiberglass, steel, and wood and can be applied over previously painted surfaces when the substrate is properly prepared. The antifouling is intended for boats with a cruising speed of up to 15 knots and is therefore a good choice for many sailboats and slower powerboats.
The paint is easy to work with and can be applied with a brush, paint pad, or roller. If thinning is required, use Hempel Thinner 808 (No. 3) in accordance with Hempel's instructions.
Note: Hempel Self-Polishing A/F must not be used on aluminum or other light metals, as the product may cause a risk of corrosion.
