Hempel Conversion Primer is a 2-component epoxy primer used when switching from traditional antifouling to Hempel’s biocide-free Silic One system. The primer forms a suitable bonding layer on existing antifouling, so you do not have to remove the existing antifouling completely before applying the new system.
Hempel Conversion Primer can also be used as a bonding layer between an epoxy-primed surface and Hempaspeed TF.
Benefits of Hempel Conversion Primer
- Suitable as a bonding layer between traditional antifouling and Hempel Silic One.
- Provides a suitable surface for the next coat.
- Can also be used between an epoxy primer and Hempaspeed TF.
- Easy to apply with a brush or roller.
How to apply Hempel Conversion Primer
Mix the two components at ratio of 3:1 by volume. Then apply the primer to the prepared surface with a brush or roller. Thinning is not required.
Observe the specified recoating intervals during application. At 20 °C, Hempel Conversion Primer can be recoated with another coat of Conversion Primer or Silic One Tiecoat after a minimum of 2 hours and within a maximum of 4 hours. For Hempaspeed TF, the recoating interval at 20 °C is 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Clean tools after use with Hempel Thinner 845.

-
The materials, substrates or tasks a product is intended for. A general claim such as 'suitable for plastics' does not mean it works with every type of plastic; the specific substrate and its preparation still matter.
- Polyester boten

The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
- 2K Primer

Density describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Values may be given in g/cm³, kg/L or kg/m³; 1 g/cm³ equals 1 kg/L. For example, one litre of a liquid with a density of 1.2 kg/L weighs approximately 1.2 kg. Density helps convert between weight and volume, but it can vary with temperature.
- 1.2 kg/L
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 36 months
-
Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 3:1 (by volume)
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 7 days (20 °C)
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- 15 m²/L
-
A specific thinner that can be used, where permitted, to adjust a product's application properties or viscosity. The correct thinner and maximum quantity depend on the product. Incorrect thinning can affect coverage, drying and curing.
