Product details

Note:

Use biocidal products with care. Always read the label and product information prior to use.
The high-performance, self-polishing CLASSIC antifouling from Hempel protects your underwater hull throughout the season. Suitable for boats made of glass fibre, wood, plywood and steel. Not to be used on light metal alloys such as aluminium. Risk of corrosion on direct contact. Available in different versions.

Hempel CLASSIC is authorised in the Netherlands, but the authorisation number required by Dutch regulations is missing on the label, which can lead to problems during inspections and possibly result in fines.


Application instructions

Technical data
  • Theoretical yield: 12 m²/l.
  • Processing temperature: +10° C to +30° C
  • Drying time at 20 °C: 4 hours
  • Overcoating time at 20 °C: min. 5 hours

Application

For uncoated surfaces: Remove salts, detergents, dirt and marine growth using a high-pressure cleaner. Prime the prepared surface with LIGHT PRIMER and then, while the primer is still tacky, coat with UNDERWATER PRIMER to act as an adhesion facilitator.

For coated surfaces: Remove fouling and impurities using a high-pressure cleaner. In case of unknown antifouling, wet sand the substrate and remove dust. If the previous antifouling layer is in poor condition, seal the area to be treated with UNDERWATER PRIMER. If the condition of the previous coating is bad all round, it is recommended to remove it and then start a new layering process (see above).

Use on GRP, wood and steel/lead: Every 12 months, apply two coats to the surface to be treated. At the waterline and on heavily used areas of the underwater hull, apply a further coat. For Sweden, Finland, Netherlands apply only one coat of antifouling.

Do not apply to aluminium or other light alloys.

Note
Handle with care. Before and during application, all safety instructions on the packaging and containers, the safety data sheets prepared by HEMPEL and local or national safety regulations must be followed.

Excellent product in processing. The only criticism is that the blue is not as dark as shown.

As expected, everything is fine.

I used Hempel Classic for the first time, applied it at the end of April, and by the beginning of October 2013 the yacht was covered in barnacles and mussels.

It was particularly bad where the sun was shining.

I cannot recommend it for sailing yachts that spend extended periods in port.

Reply from HEMPEL
Dazu lässt sich folgendes sagen, bei einem Systemwechsel müssen mindestens 2 besser 3 Anstriche aufgebaut werden. Denn der Neue Wirkstoff muss ja erst einmal in ausreichender Menge vorhanden sein. Ebenfalls handelt es sich beim Hempel Classic um ein selbst polierendes Antifouling, dieses wirkt nur wenn man mit dem Schiff fährt. Somit wäre hier ein Hart bassiertes System, die bessere Wahl, das funktioniert auch wenn man seinen Liegeplatz längere Zeit nicht verlässt. Im Ganzen lässt sich aber hier schön veranschaulichen , das es doch tatsächlich gut gewesen wäre sich vorher bei den Experten von SVB oder Hempel zu informieren. Dann wären jetzt alle froh und hätten eine Gute Saison ( bei einem Wechsel zum Hempel Hard Racing , bitte auch beachten das eine gewisse Schichtstärke erst einmal appliziert werden muss, sowie ein Sperrgrund vorne weg)
