ANTIFOULING DYNAMIC magnified 8000 times by Scanning Electron Micro- scope. By permission of The Danish Technologi- cal Institute, Copenhagen. Nobody has yet solved your fouling problems but Hempel now offers two ways of reducing them Antifouling Dynamic: Long life in one application. Antifouling Dynamic is a smooth high-build vinyl anti- fouling, applicable in 100 microns dry film thickness in only one coat. That means reduced time in dry dock. But even the smoothest antifouling still creates a friction problem. That's where Hydron® Dynamic comes in. Hydron®* Dynamic reduces friction and prolongs the antifouling effect. Hydron® Dynamic is a top coat that has the ability to carry with it a laminar layer of water, and water against water creates much less friction than water against any solid material - after all, 80 % of your vessel's resistance is skin friction. Hydron® Dynamic means reduced friction, i.e. higher speed or less fuel. Hydron® Dynamic also controls the leaching in a "programmed" way. There are so many aspects to the Dynamic system: Fuel consumption, ecology, extended dry dockings, economy!
