Directions for use

Hempel's Ecopower Cruise is easy to apply by brush, roller, spray or paint pad. The minimum processing temperature is 5°C. Avoid working in direct sunlight.

Always ensure that the surface is lightly sanded, clean, grease-free and dry before applying the Hempel antifouling.
Ensure that the surface has been properly prepared for the antifouling to function optimally. Treat untreated surfaces with Hempel Underwater Primer. Do the same if the old antifouling is in poor condition.
Stir the contents well to obtain a uniform colour. This is because the product contains heavy particles.
Apply 2 coats of Hempel Ecopower Cruise with a dry film thickness of 40 µm. If necessary, add up to 5% thinner to aid application.
Apply an extra layer around the waterline and to areas susceptible to wear.
After approximately 4 hours (at 20°C) the antifouling is dry to the touch and ready for recoating.
The boat can be launched after approximately 24 hours and up to a maximum of 9 months.

Note: always wear protective clothing, gloves and a suitable vapour mask when working with Hempel Ecopower Cruise!
