Removal occurs very simply: with the movement of the boat (over 15 Kn) or with abrasive sponges, underwater drones (Keelcrab drone: for more information: www.keelcrab.com) or pumps with medium\/high pressure water[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can I use Greenhull and Greenprop on other types of surfaces?&#8221;]Yes, both can be used on multiple surfaces that can remain immersed for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us for more information[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Does water temperature have an effect on results\/time period?&#8221;]Warmer water in general has a greater production of fouling and therefore may request more frequent cleaning operations. The durability of the coating is not expected to change.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What should I do at the end of the season?&#8221;]At the end of the season the boat can be washed as indicated above, left in the water or on land. Being out of water does not harm the performance of Greenhull and Greenprop.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Fresh water vs salt water:&#8221;]Although the amount and type of fouling may differ from freshwater to saltwater, Greenhull and Greenprop works in both environments[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What colors are available?&#8221;]The extensive range of basic colors, already available, also allows them to be mixed together to obtain new colors.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How to apply the product?&#8221;]The product lends itself to various application methods: airless, roller or brush.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Should I use a primer?&#8221;]Greenfondo performs this task so, if it is not already present on the hull, it is not necessary to apply a coat of another primer before it. Once you have applied Greenfondo you can proceed with the treatment with Greenhull \u00a0within 30 days.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why are environmental warnings shown on Greenhull and Greenprop? Shouldn&#8217;t it be eco-friendly?&#8221;]Both products have environmental warnings on the label because the liquid parts still pose some health risks, similar to any paint. Once the product has been mixed and polymerized, the dangerous elements have reacted and remain bound and trapped in the paint without dispersing into the marine environment.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How much paint should I order for my boat?&#8221;]Our paint covers on average 6-7 square meters per kg, do not &#8220;pull&#8221; the material beyond. By sending us the data of your boat via email (waterline length, maximum beam, draft) we will be able to indicate the quantity of the requested products you need.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How can I prepare the surface for applying the product?&#8221;]Old antifouling paint must be removed to ensure a smooth, peel-free surface.<\/p>\n<p>Sand as usual according to standard directions, clean the surface with acetone or a thinner.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that dust, sanding residues and other contaminants have been completely removed by carrying out the last step with soap and water and finally rinsing.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why do I have to remove the previous layers of antifouling?&#8221;]Previously applied classic antifouling paints are designed to dissolve in water, so new paint applied over top will also peel off into the environment. It is therefore necessary to remove them perfectly before applying the primer and continue with the complete cycle to ensure maximum duration of the treatment.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What are the application times?&#8221;]Greenhull: must be applied on Greenfondo in a window time starting from 8 hours to a maximum of 30 days.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long do I have to wait after applying the product to launch? Is there a maximum time?&#8221;]The period necessary to let Greenhull and Greenprop cure is 72 hours. There is no maximum waiting time, as the product does not deteriorate out of water.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Maintenance&#8221;]The product does not kill fouling, the slippery surface makes their adhesion more difficult; the context changes depending on the seasons and the type of water.<\/p>\n<p>The removal of the fouling occurs with the methods indicated above: movement of the boat, abrasive sponge, Keelcrab drone (for more information: www.keelcrab.com) high pressure pump.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;I&#8217;ve been applying paint for several years and I think it&#8217;s time for a new coat, what should I do to apply one?&#8221;]Applying a new coat of Greenhull to the entire hull is possible. It is necessary to sand the hull with medium\/fine grain paper. Sanding will roughen the previous layer enough to allow the new layer to adhere to the surface without the need to apply Greenfondo (if it remains visible). Clean with solvent immediately before application so that there is no dust on the surface.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;If I damage the paint, can it be repaired?&#8221;]Yes, you must follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions[\/vc_toggle]<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
