Silic One for propellers
If the propeller is already painted with Antifouling, remove old antifouling.
Clean with Hempel’s Pre-Clean (for aluminium propellers make sure that Hempel’s Pre-Clean has been thinned 1:20).
Create a palpable roughness by abrading with 40 sand paper or other mechanical methods, preferably abrasive blasting. Wash with freshwater and allow to dry, before applying relevant specification as below. Apply as fast as possible the primer to avoid oxidation.
