Nobody has yet solved your fouling problems but Hempel now offers two ways of reducing them
Antifouling Dynamic: Long life in one application.
Antifouling Dynamic is a smooth high-build vinyl anti- fouling, applicable in 100 microns dry film thickness in only one coat. That means reduced time in dry dock.
But even the smoothest antifouling still creates a friction problem.
That's where Hydron® Dynamic comes in.
Hydron®* Dynamic reduces friction and prolongs the antifouling effect.
Hydron® Dynamic is a top coat that has the ability to carry with it a laminar layer of water, and water against water creates much less friction than water against any solid material - after all, 80 % of your vessel's resistance is skin friction.
Hydron® Dynamic means reduced friction, i.e. higher speed or less fuel.
Hydron® Dynamic also controls the leaching in a "programmed" way.
There are so many aspects to the Dynamic system:
Fuel consumption, ecology, extended dry dockings, economy!
