FEYNLAB HYDRO was developed to address the harsh environments that watercraft and RVs endure, and to be compatible with both painted and gel-coat finishes. The primary protection this coating offers is UV protection. HYDRO uses smart nano particles that scatter UV rays, reducing the probability that a UV ray reaches the paint surface to roughly 1%. This solves the main problem with gel-coat finishes as they suffer from oxidation brought on by UV degradation, which causes it to go powdery and yellowish.

 

HYDRO has a good level of hydrophobicity, meaning the rinse-down after use is much faster. HYDRO is not an anti-fouling and should only be used above the waterline if the watercraft is expected to spend long periods of time in the water.

 

The hydrophobicity of HYDRO will reduce water drag when applied below the waterline, and its application to the propellers will improve fuel consumption. This assumes the watercraft is lowered into the water only when in use, not for prolonged periods when anti-fouling would be required, for example, a weekend-use speedboat.

 

The aesthetic improvement of HYDRO is similar to that of Ceramic, with an exceptionally glossy finish.
