Strip and clean
Hempel’s propeller instructions call for existing antifouling to be removed. Clean with the specified product; for aluminium, the Pre-Clean instruction is a 1:20 dilution.

HEMPEL / 27450 + 77450
SMOOTH PERFORMANCE. RIGHT TO THE PROPELLER.
Hempel Silic One Propeller Kit. Bring Silic One fouling-release technology to the propeller. Combine the kit’s tiecoat and silicone finish with the correct preparation and primer route for the metal beneath.
A dedicated coating route
Use the propeller-specific instructions, rather than assuming the hull route is identical.
Two coating stages
The base kit contains Silic One Tiecoat and Silic One finish.
Choose the right package
Compare the kit-only and primer-inclusive listings before ordering.
Plan preparation, primer, tiecoat and finish together
Silic One uses a silicone and hydrogel surface to reduce friction and help release fouling. On a propeller, adhesion depends on the preparation and primer beneath it. The kit brings together the two Silic One coating stages; it does not remove the need to establish the correct primer route or inspect the condition of the metal.
Plan the application
Prepare the metal and prime promptly
Create the required surface profile, rinse and dry. Prime promptly to limit oxidation, following the current specification for the propeller material.
Apply the coating stages in order
Use the specified Light Primer route, then Silic One Tiecoat and Silic One. Work to the current product data and propeller instructions for film build and overcoating.
Use the current product data, safety data and substrate-specific application instructions supplied by Hempel. Temperature, humidity and film thickness affect the working and overcoating schedule.

Before you order
Is the base kit a complete primer-to-finish package?
The parent kit description lists tiecoat and finish only. Select the primer-inclusive option or order the specified primer components separately, as appropriate for the job.
Can I estimate it from the boat’s length?
No. A propeller’s actual coated area, geometry, preparation and specified film build matter. Check the propeller area and complete specification rather than using a hull-size shortcut.
Does it guarantee a particular fuel saving?
No fixed percentage is stated here. Silic One provides a low-friction surface, while actual performance depends on the vessel, surface condition and use.
