Prime sil
Epoxy primer for velox sil
Foul-release silicone antifouling for propellers
Velox sil keeps submerged surfaces clean thanks to the low surface tension of the silicone finish, which allows any organism to detach with the movement of the propeller or with a light cleaning using a sponge.
Prime sil is a hybrid epoxy primer with a unique and innovative blend of resins that provides exceptional adhesion to metal parts and withstands extreme conditions of galvanic currents and cavitation. specially designed for the velox sil silicone coating.
| Reference | Description | Kit contents |
| 65.896.01 | 250 ml kit | 125 ml primer + 125 ml paint |
| 65.896.02 | 500 ml kit | 250 ml primer + 250 ml paint |

Velox sil is a kit composed of a new silicone antifouling coating and an innovative hybrid primer, free of biocides and substances of very high concern (svhc) for operator health, such as carcinogenic substances.
Therefore, it has a lower environmental impact and simplifies safety management on site (environmental permits, chemical risk assessment, health monitoring of applicators).
Velox sil has been field tested with results that have allowed the product to be refined to achieve exceptional performance, exceeding expectations in both adhesion and effectiveness.
