Application Advice

Apply Hempel Classic Pro using a suitable brush or roller, following the manufacturer’s technical data sheet.

The number of coats, drying times and launching intervals depend on the application conditions and coating system.

For areas exposed to greater wear, such as the waterline, rudder and leading edges, follow Hempel’s recommendations for additional protection.
