Silic One from Hempel in North America?

[BjarneK]

We are interested in trying the Silic One anti fouling (actually fouling release) product from Hempel on our aluminum boat.

We are currently in Mexico, but I can find no dealers online in North America selling the product. I tried contacting a UK company about shipping to Mexico but they said that the couriers do not want to ship it from there.

Does anybody know of a dealer that sells Silic One anywhere in North America? I figure that ground transportation to Mexico should be possible.

Hi BjarneK,

I am also interested in trialing the silicon one coating. I am in panama but have not yet begun trying to source the paint. If you find it successfully I hope you will update us. I will do the same.

I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has been using silic one in tropical waters and their experience with its performance.

Thank you very much for drawing attention to this. It looks like it is quite a new development:

And Silic One is specifically mentioned in the press release, so it sounds promising.
