SealnGlide is an ultimate performance nano coating for reducing friction on sail surfaces.

• Faster sail setting thanks to reduced friction
• Prevents sails snagging on rigging or fittings
• Use on bolt ropes for easy hoists
• Non-stick tell tales giving a clear advantage in wet conditions
• Reduced weight aloft due to lower water asborbtion
• Increases sail stability and sailcloth tear strength
• Resists sail washing detergents

A 100ml bottle is sufficient to coat 30m² of sailcloth or 60m² of spinnaker fabric.

Use a mixture of 1:10 for sailcloth or 1:20 for spinnaker fabric. Apply using a large sponge or wiper. DO NOT SPRAY as it will render the mixture useless and inhalation could damage your health. Pot life is 60 to 90 minutes and drying time is at least 3 hours.

For more than 85 years the HOLMENKOL brand has stood for high-tech, reliability
and trust for sport coatings in professional and leisure sports. HOLMENKOL is
developing in its own direction and in many years of cooperation with renowned
partners. Here nano technology is only one technology of many and is only used if it really brings benefits.

HOLMENKOL products are protected in 4-ways:
1. The original components have been proven to be non-toxic.
2. Only integrated components or nano layers are used.
3. The spray droplets have been proven not to be inhalable into lungs.
4. The nano components have been permanently cemented to the substrate.

What is nano technology?

“Nano” originates from the Greek word “nanos” = Dwarf. Nano technology found
in an area of magnitude which is more than ten thousand times smaller than a
millimeter. Through the reduction to nano dimensions, well-known materials gain
completely new properties. Innovative companies are implementing these discoveries to create new products and methods.

What makes it of interest for sport coatings?

An important reason for the new properties is the ratio of the particles‘ diameter to
their surface. If, for example, you divide a large dice into smaller and smaller dice,
the surface area of the many small dice is several times greater than that of the
large dice. For example, many chemical reactions occur on the surface of what is
known as catalysts (= reaction accelerators of chemical reactions). If you increase
the surface areas of these catalysts, you thereby can increase their activity.
In sport coverings, for example, effects such as water repulsion, glide effect etc. can be dramatically increased. Nano technology is superior to conventional technologies many times over. Through self-organizing, intelligent arrangement the optimum coating can be produced systematically for the respective application.
