Genoa- NANOPRO, manufacturer of molecular nano polymers for the treatment of all parts of vessels, It presents on the occasion of the Boat Show 2012 il Polysil Top Coat F1, a product designed EPR increase the racing hulls performance. Polysil Top Coat F1 is a the hull protective coating that dramatically reduces friction with water, providing better performance at the same applied pressure.
At the base 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 each interspace between the same molecules and thus preventing water to penetrate and form friction, through the modification of the surface tension.
As measured by Nanoprom, the first tests carried out in the bath by the University of Trieste have shown that the concrete reduction in the water resistance on the treated surface is on average 14%, with peaks 17% in low velocity areas (transient, or low-average load of power required).
The graph shows the decrease in resistance due to friction of water on the hull. On the x axis the speed in meters / second (the equivalent in knots is obtained by multiplying 1,94). The y-axis resistance in kilograms-force
In the case of tub-sea data transfer, secondo le procedure dell’I.T.T.C., the company says that the speed range from 0 a 12 nodes to the case should be 0 a 50 knots. If the forecast is confirmed, This would mean that the tangible benefits offered by Polysil Top Coat F1 would be found on most boats on the market, sailing and motor, dislocanti e plananti.
In the product there are no toxic substances because the base constituting the product is liquid glass and the rest is done by nano-molecular structure. Are therefore absent altogether poisonous contrails released in water, as well as of processing waste which would require an application in shipyards equipped to the treatment of toxic waste.
To apply the product alive on the work of a drift or high ground, there is no need to heat or to sophisticated paint systems. The nano molecules are self-leveling, that stretch from the sun in the most compact position, filling every possible interspace surface of the hull and between them.
Since the compound is colorless, Polysil Top Coat can be applied without distinction of parts of the hull colored differently, no aesthetic impact.
