Introducing Hempel's Mille NCT, the pinnacle of self-polishing antifouling technology designed for yachts and motorboats that navigate at speeds of up to 25 knots. This product steps up as the successor to the respected Hempel Ocean Performer, providing an unrivalled antifouling solution for boats subjected to the most demanding marine environments. Whether your vessel is a sleek racer or embarks on extended cruising adventures, Mille NCT delivers unmatched protection.

Technical Excellence through Advanced Technology

Hempel's Mille NCT leverages a patented binder technology to ensure impressive fouling resistance and colour fidelity throughout the season. The state-of-the-art formulation includes a potent bioactive mixture that continuously rejuvenates the surface, offering a consistent shield against marine growth.

Versatile Application and Outstanding Physical Properties:

• Substrate Compatibility: Expertly engineered for glass fibre, wood, plywood, steel, and ferro-cement boats, this antifouling paint is versatile and reliable. Note that it is not suitable for aluminium or other light-alloy metals, as it may lead to corrosion.
  
  
• Colour Range: Aesthetic integrity is maintained with a palette of colours including Grey, Souvenirs Blue, True Blue, Black, Red, and White, all ensuring excellent colour retention.
  
  
• Theoretical Spreading Rate: Achieve an extensive coverage of 13 m² per liter, ensuring that a little goes a long way.
  
  
• Drying Time: Quick to touch dry, it takes only 4 hours at 10°C and 2 hours at 20°C, facilitating rapid application processes.
  
  
• Overcoat Time: A waiting period of 8 hours at 10°C or 4 hours at 20°C is required before overcoating, allowing for efficient multi-layer applications.
  
  
• Application Parameters: Apply two coats at a recommended dry film thickness of 40 microns, increasing to three coats for vessels regularly operating above 20 knots. The wet film thickness should be approximately 75 microns.
  
  
• Surface Preparation: The longevity of Mille NCT's efficacy starts with proper surface preparation. Surfaces must be free from salts, detergents, and contaminants, achieved through high-pressure fresh water cleaning.
  
  
• Primer Compatibility: It works best with Hempel's Light Primer for new builds or Hempel's Underwater Primer for maintenance and repair.
  
  
• Thinner and Cleaner: For thinning and cleaning, Hempel's Thinner 08080 is recommended, ensuring the paint's optimal consistency and cleanliness during application.
  
  
• VOC Content: The product meets EU legislation with a VOC content of 419 g/L.
