Hempel Classic Antifoul Paint - 71220
The Hempel Classic Antifoul Paint is the perfect way to protect your hull from marine growth, with just a simple application. The Classic range by Hempel has amazing colour retention throughout the season, so you won't be constantly taking it out to repaint and has good mechanical strength for improved crack resistance.
The Hempel Classic can be applied via a roller, brush or paint pad, and can be applied with a spray but only by a professional. The colour of the antifoul is designed to change to its final colour approximately one week after it has been exposed to water, so don't worry if the colour isn't quite right after first painting.
Do not use on aluminium or other light-alloy metals, as there is a risk of corrosion in case of direct contact.
