Hempel Classic antifouling is available in various colours and in 0.75 or 2.5 litres.

Description: underwater paint based on bitumen and aluminium for application below the waterline. With sufficient coats, it offers excellent anti-corrosion and preservative properties. Due to its high aluminium pigment content, this underwater paint has an inhibiting effect on the so-called bleeding of existing tar layers. On bare steel and existing (coal) tar systems, apply the first coat of Underwaterprimer, thinned by 15-20% with Epifanes 1-C Spray Thinner, and apply with a stiff brush (block brush or goat's foot brush). Can be overcoated with so-called classic (soft) antifoulings, but also with self-polishing antifoulings. However, allow the Underwaterprimer to cure for 7 days before applying an antifouling. Apply the antifouling in one roller stroke, so do not brush back and forth too much. Do not apply hard antifouling based on chlororubber or vinyl. Application: As a new protective underwater system for wood and steel. Also suitable for the maintenance and repair of existing coal tar layers and can be used as a barrier coat over traditional systems and remnants of existing (tar) antifoulings. Brush application: Epifanes Paint Thinner 1st coat on bare steel and tar layers; Epifanes 1-C Spray Thinner Advice: Stir well before use. Overcoatable: After 24 hours at 18°C.
