THE NANO-SCIENCE
Armus is dedicated to create innovative coating solutions that minimize environmental impact, save energy, and reduce fuel costs.
Hull Guard is developed to reduce drag and deliver increased vessel speeds. The extremely smooth and slippery surface of the coating repels microorganisms by making it difficult for them to adhere to the hull’s surface.
PERFORMANCE
Hull Guard’s solution provides an ultra-smooth finish. When used on boat hulls, the friction reduction on treated surfaces increases boat speeds can by up to 5%, and reduces fuel consumption by up to 10%.
The fouling-release makes maintenance and cleaning simple. When necessary, power-wash the treated surface with water, and all fouling rinses off easily.
A reduction in fuel consumption not only provides cost-savings to the consumer, but it also assists in the sustainable objectives Armus sets for each of our formulations.
SUSTAINABILITY
Hull Guard was developed with the environment in mind. Its formulation contains no biocides, making it eco-friendly, without killing or causing severe negative impacts on marine eco-systems.
We believe that performance can be achieved without the detrimental side-effects to the environments in which our formulas work and play.
APPLICATION
Wipe all surfaces clean of dust and debris with a microfiber or lint-free cloth, ensuring all metal and debris from sanding is removed.
Completely mix Part A (Base) and Part B (Hardener) together. Stir well for a minimum of 2 minutes. Using a Application can be done by conventional spraying (Paint pressure pot with power agitator, double air regulators, moisture trap, 1/2” ID fluid hose, 5/16” ID air hose, DeVibiss 510 gun, “E” tip and needle, 74 or 78 air cap), by Airless Spray (Minimum pump: 30:1, Nozzle: 19-23) or by Brush (recommended only for stripe coating or small, narrow areas).
Allow to dry. Do not touch while Hull Guard dries. Touch-dry is achieved in 4 hours. Full curing is complete after 24 hours dependent on ambient temperature.
ESTIMATED CONSUMPTION
431 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on surface absorption.
EXPECTED LIFESPAN
Up to 18-24 months after initial application.
