Product Data: Hempel's Antifouling Olympic Protect+
Description: Hempel's Antifouling Olympic Protect+ 7295W is a high solids, self-polishing antifouling. Based on ion
exchange technology in combination with a reliable biocide package ensures predictable antifouling
protection. The use of improved patented microfibre technology at higher concentrations enables the
fibres to fit parallel to the coating surface leading to a controlled polishing throughout the service life,
while on the same time offers superior mechanical strength.
Recommended use: Hempel's Antifouling Olympic Protect+ 7295W can be used for both newbuildings and maintenance of
underwater hull and boot top. For drydocking intervals up to 60 months.

Safety: Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and paint containers,
consult HEMPEL Safety Data Sheets and follow all local or national safety regulations.
Colours/Colour stability: The initial colour of the paint may vary within the same shade from batch to batch. After exposure to
seawater, the initial colour may vary within the same shade. This has no influence on the performance
of the antifouling.
Redocking: At redocking, HEMPEL'S ANTIFOULING PAINT can be overcoated after thorough cleaning and
removal of any poorly adhering surface layer or leached layer on the antifouling.
Reference is made to SURFACE PREPARATION above. If overcoated with other types of antifouling,
other surface preparation methods may be required - contact HEMPEL.
Aluminium hulls: May be specified on aluminium hulls provided an efficient anticorrosive system in minimum 2
coats of 150 micron/6 mils each has been applied. The anticorrosive system must stay intact
during service in order to avoid corrosion of the aluminium caused by the cuprous oxide
content of the Paint.
Application equipment: Standard airless heavy-duty spray equipment:
Pump ratio: min 45:1 (see Note below)
Pump output: min 12 litres/minute (theoretical)
Spray hoses: max 15 metres/50 feet, 3/8" internal diameter; min 3 metres/10 feet, 1/4" internal diameter
Note: If longer spray hoses are necessary, up to 50 metres/150 feet hose (½" internal diameter) can be
added. The pump ratio must be raised to 60:1 or more, however, the high output capacity of the pump
must be maintained.
A reversible nozzle is recommended.
Filter: Surge tank filter and tip filter should be removed.
Film thicknesses/thinning: May be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This
will alter spreading rate and may influence drying time and overcoating interval. Normal range dry is:
80-175 micron/3.2-7 mils
Undocking: Minimum undocking time depends on number of coats applied, film thickness, the prevailing
temperature and the subsequent exposure/service conditions. For further information, please consult
the corresponding painting specification. Maximum undocking time depends on the atmospheric
conditions (UV radiation, temperature, degree of atmospheric pollution, etc.).
Exposure to the atmosphere in up to 6 months normally presents no problems but extraordinary
contamination may call for a freshwater high pressure hosing - contact Hempel.
Overcoating intervals: As per specification depending on existing hull condition, trading pattern, and intended service life.
No maximum recoat interval, but after prolonged exposure to polluted atmosphere, remove
accumulated contamination by high pressure fresh water cleaning.
Note: Hempel’s Antifouling Olympic Protect+ For professional use only.
