How to use Hempel Antifouling
Hempel's Mille NCT 7173C is easy to apply with a brush, roller 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 antifouling.
- Ensure that the surface has been properly prepared for the optimum performance of Mille NCT. 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 nice colour. This is because the antifouling contains heavy particles.
- Apply 1 coat of Hempel Mille with a dry film thickness of 40 µm. If necessary, add up to 5% thinner to aid application.
- Apply an additional coat around the waterline and on wear-sensitive areas.
- After approximately 4 hours (at 20°C) the antifouling is hand dry and ready for painting.
- After approximately 24 hours up to a maximum of 9 months you can put the boat in the water.
If your vessel is regularly used at speeds above 20 knots, 3 coats of antifouling paint is recommended.
