Hempel Silic One Propeller Kit 750ml

This is a stunning fouling release system that we sell complete in a kit with the light primer, tie coat and top coat.
Silic One provides a low energy repellent surface with unique fouling release properties. A hydro gel micro layer prevents fouling organisms firmly adhering, while the silicone polymers facilitate self-cleaning. It is biocide free.
The package contains everything you need to go from bare metal to a growth free propellor. First apply the light primer undercoat then the tiecoat and finally the silic one top coat.

• Pack contains 375ml light primer, 375ml tie coat and 375ml silic one
• Suitable for metals and alloys
• Launch time up to 1 month after application
• Biocide free
  

 

Hempel’s own Propeller Kit contains a total of 750 ml of product (375 ml Tie-coat + 375 ml Silic One topcoat) and the Silic One topcoat itself covers approximately 10 m² per litre. In practice that works out to:

• Coverage: ~10 m²/L of Silic One topcoat
• Per 0.75 L kit: 0.75 L × 10 m²/L ≈ 7.5 m² of propeller surface

By way of comparison, some note that a single 750 ml kit will cover around 4–6 m² depending on application method and number of coats. In most cases you can expect to get between 6 and 8 m² from one kit, with best‐practice brushing/rolling yielding closer to the higher end of that range.

For Hempel’s Silic One propeller system the only product recommended for thinning or tool‐cleaning is Hempel Thinner 808 (No. 3).

• Silic One Tiecoat & Topcoat – Thinning is not recommended for the Silic One topcoat and tiecoat itself. If you find it absolutely necessary (e.g. for brushing very intricate areas), you must not exceed 5 % addition of Thinner 808, but best practice is to apply undiluted
• Light Primer (if used) – when applying Hempel Light Primer prior to the Silic One layers (in “case 4” applications), you may thin the primer by up to 20 % with Thinner 808 
• Tool‐cleaning – use Thinner 808 to clean brushes, rollers or spray equipment after application
