HydroVel is a clear coating specifically formulated for neoprene tubes and hull surfaces. Its unique formulation requires no primer or sanding. This fouling release coating utilizes advanced polymers to ensure foulingfree performance in all sailing conditions.
This durable yet highly flexible fouling release coating with low surface tension remains effective for many seasons. The fouling release surface prevents marine organisms from permanently attaching while enabling self-cleaning while cruising.
Important Maintenance Note: After 2-3 weeks of mooring (and 1½ weeks during active fouling periods when the water temperature is usually ≤25°C), foul release coatings require underwater cleaning with soft sponges or microfiber cloths. Avoid brushes, scrapers or hard tools that could damage the coating. Followed by highspeed operation (15+ minutes) to remove remaining contaminants and restore optimal performance.
