New: Hempel Infinity
Hempel Infinity is a water-based recharger specifically developed for Hempel Silic One. It extends the performance of your Silic One system by an extra season, reducing the need for polishing, saving paint, and cutting costs. That way, you have more time to enjoy being on the water.
Infinity can be applied at any time during the season, as long as your Silic One coating is in good condition. For the best results, apply the product only to an intact Silic One layer.
Features Hempel Infinity
- Extends the performance of Hempel Silic One by one year.
- Quick and easy to apply without the need for primer or sanding.
- Water-based recharger.
Directions for use
- Clean the underwater hull and rinse with fresh water. Allow it to dry thoroughly. Sanding is not necessary.
- Stir Hempel Infinity well before use and pour it into a paint tray.
- Apply generously over the entire underwater hull using a brush or roller. The direction of application does not matter, as long as the entire hull is covered.
- Allow Hempel Infinity to dry for at least 24 hours.
- Rinse the surface with fresh water and remove any residue as you would during normal cleaning.
Your hull is now ready for a new boating season!

The recommended layer thickness is the thickness at which you apply each coat of paint, coating or resin. It is usually given in micrometres (µm) or millimetres (mm).
- Wet film thickness: the thickness immediately after application.
- Dry film thickness: the thickness after drying or curing.
For a coating with 60% solids by volume, a wet film of 100 µm will theoretically produce a dry film of approximately 60 µm. Film thickness affects coverage, protection and drying. Always check whether the manufacturer specifies wet or dry film thickness.
- Wet: 112 µm
-
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.
- 24 months
-
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
- 5 °C
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- 4 hours (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.
- 8.9 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.
