Hempel
The Hempel Group was founded in 1915 by J.C. Hempel under the motto “Quality and Service,” which remains the hallmark of the company today. Beyond appearance, it is essential to protect your boat against environmental elements. With Hempel’s coating systems, you can protect steel and aluminum from corrosion, polyester from osmosis, wood from rot, and the underwater hull from dirt and fouling. Polyestershoppen is an official supplier of the complete Hempel range and delivers antifouling, primers, and thinners quickly from stock.

Antifouling protects the underwater hull from algae, barnacles, and other fouling. With Hempel antifouling, you are assured of a premium coating system with user-friendly application.
With one of Hempel’s self-sharpening antifoulings, you are guaranteed a fouling-resistant paint layer for the entire boating season. The following year, you can easily remove the old layer and apply a new coat of antifouling without hassle. These self-sharpening systems are available in various colours and are easy to apply.
In a time where environmental responsibility plays an important role, Hempel introduces an advanced antifouling system free of biocides and copper! These biocide-free antifouling systems from Hempel contain Tec-Cel, which reduces friction between the hull and the water. The antifouling is suitable for all substrates (including aluminum) and is easy to use. Hempel offers both hard and self-polishing systems without biocides.
Silic One is the latest innovation in fouling release technology. This fantastic, biocide-free product is based on silicone and hydrogel, giving the coated surface water-like properties. As a result, fouling organisms cannot easily adhere to the hull and are more likely to fall off when the boat is in motion. Other key benefits include easy removal of fouling and the ability to reapply the coating without any problems — leading to long-term cost savings.
Hempel’s Silic One stands out with revolutionary properties that surpass all other coatings. View more information about Hempel Silic One.
Silic One
Hempel Silic One is a true revolution in fouling release coatings. This product shares similar properties with traditional antifouling but is based on an silicone hydrogel formulation. It prevents marine growth and is easy to remove from the underwater hull, making future reapplication simple and efficient.
Primers improve adhesion between the substrate and the antifouling system. Hempel provides easy-to-use primers with excellent water resistance.

To improve the application properties of Hempel coating systems, it is sometimes recommended to thin the paint with a Hempel thinner. Always consult the coating documentation to determine which thinner you need.
