Hempel - Paint, Varnish & Antifoul

Hempel paints (formerly Blakes Paints) offer a comprehensive range of quality boat paints, covering all substrates, needs, conditions and techniques from top coats, marine antifouling, boat deck paint to boat cleaners and degreasers. With Hempel boat paints you can rely on one brand for all your paint projects.

It was in 1915, in Denmark where Hempel's roots lie. With their headquarters in Copenhagen today, they may not have moved their head office out of Denmark but they certainly have their coating solutions around the globe. As manufacturers of protective coatings, Hempel have found markets in all sorts of segments such as oil & gas, industrial, decorative, containers, wind and thermal energy and of course mthe marine industry.

Developing paints for yachts, ships and river cruisers, Hempel continually seeks to deliver excellent quality paint coatings that provide exceptional protection while minimising the impact on our environment. Hempel's ISO 9001 standards compliancy ensures they supply consistent quality while their ISO 19030 standards ensures their boat paints meet standards for hull and propeller performance.

Some of Hempel's key products included Hempel Tiger Xtra Antifouling, Hempel Cruising Performer Antifouling, Hempel Broads Antifouling and Hempel Classic Antifouling. They have also developed a biocide-free boat bottom paint, eliminating copper leakage from older antifouling.

Hempel Classic Varnish is widely considered to be a user-friendly, high-grade yacht varnish providing an exceptional gloss finish.
