Genoa- Nanoprom, a manufacturer of nano-molecular polymers for the treatment of all parts of boats, presents the Polysil Top Coat F1 at the 2012 Boat Show, a product designed to increase the performance of the hulls in racing. Polysil Top Coat F1 is a protective coating for hulls that drastically reduces friction with water, providing better performance with the same thrust applied.

At the base there are the nano molecules: thanks to this particular technology, the product applied to the hull levels itself and adheres perfectly to the treated surface, following every gap between the molecules themselves and thus preventing water from penetrating and forming friction. , through the modification of the surface tension.

According to the findings of Nanoprom, the first tests carried out in the tank by the University of Trieste have shown that the concrete reduction of water resistance on the treated surface is on average 14%, with peaks of 17% in low speed areas (in transients , or low to medium load power required).

The graph shows the decrease in resistance due to the friction of water on the hull. On the x axis the speed in meters / second (the equivalent in knots is obtained by multiplying by 1.94). On the y-axis the resistance in kilograms-force

In the case of pool-to-sea data transfer, according to the procedures of the I.T.T.C., the company states that the speed range from 0 to 12 knots would actually go from 0 to 50 knots. If the forecast were confirmed, this would mean that the concrete advantages offered by Polysil Top Coat F1 would be found on most of the boats on the market, sailing and motor, displacement and planing.

There are no toxic substances in the product because the base that constitutes the product is liquid glass and the rest is done by the nano-molecular structure. Poisonous trails released into the water are therefore completely absent, as are processing waste that would require application in yards equipped for the treatment of toxic waste.

To apply the product on the hull of a drift or high ground, it is not necessary to resort to heat sources or sophisticated painting systems. The nano molecules are self-leveling, that is, they spread out on their own in the most compact position, filling every possible surface cavity of the hull and between them.

Since the compound is colorless, Polysil Top Coat can be applied indiscriminately on differently colored parts of the hull, without any aesthetic impact.
