Yacht products

All types of substrate used in the construction of yachts and power boats require painting, either initially or at some later stage. This website explains both traditional and modern coating systems developed by Hempel for glassfibre, wooden, metal and ferrocement.

Each section has been carefully written to assist you in carrying out any painting job on your boat. However, if at any stage you require further information, please telephone your local Hempel office.

Primers - Selecting the right primer will protect your boat's substrate, avoid early failure of a subsequent painting system and enhance your final finish.

Filling & Fairing - will streamline the surface of your boat, giving improved through water performance from the hull, and clean lines on the topsides. If the substrate has been damaged, structural filling and fairing will be necessary.

Topcoats - Paint will enhance the appearance of any surface and offer protection against the elements.

Varnish - will protect the wooden areas of your boat against the elements

Teak Treatment - Ideal for your boat and your garden furniture!

Antifoulings - Fouling on your boat not only makes it look unsightly, but can make it dangerously slow, increase fuel costs and ultimately damage the substrate.

Thinners - It is important that only the recommended Thinners are used for each application, not doing so, or substituting other proprietary products, will result in a ruined job.

Aftercare - Your boat will need maintianing during the season to ensure it keeps its good appearance and sailing capabilities and the coating system is maintianed.
