Hempel A/S (hempel.com) has recently introduced the world’s first and only recharger for Hempel’s silicone systems, ensuring underwater boat maintenance becomes a pain(t)less experience for boat owners, notes a press communique from the company.

Simply applied on top of an existing Hempel silicone finish at the scheduled maintenance interval, Hempel’s Infinity extends the silicone performance of the hull coating for an extra season. Hempel’s Infinity removes the need for repainting, resulting in less work, lower overall costs and less paint used, allowing for more time on the water.

“Hempel’s Infinity is our most significant innovation in the Yacht sector since the launch of Hempel’s Silic One back in 2012,” says Thomas Olsen, Marketing Director – Yacht at Hempel A/S. “It has been designed with boat owners’ time and money in mind, enabling them to maintain performance excellence year after year, in a more sustainable way. I am excited to introduce this ground-breaking innovation and look forward to following its success and impact in the market.”

Hempel’s Infinity has an easy application method, requiring no sanding, masking or painting. The underwater area needs to be clean and dry before Hempel’s Infinity is applied to the whole underwater surface. After a minimum of 24 hours’ activation time, Hempel’s Infinity is then rinsed off with fresh water and the boat is ready for another sailing season, in half of the time it takes to apply conventional antifouling.

Hempel’s Infinity will be available in 2.4 litre size and is suitable for both DIY and Pro usage.
