Starke Liquid Kraken Marine Grade Graphene Nano Coating
Liquid Kraken is a true marine grade graphene coating that is formulated specifically for gel coat and marine paints. The low VOC solvent based formula carries a high concentration of graphene oxide which forms a monolithic layer of protection one atom thick. This ultra slick finish is known to reduce water spotting by approximately 50%.
Reduced water spotting is the number one selling point on why a boat owner would select a Liquid Kraken over a SiO2 based coating like Liquid Thor.
SiO2 and Graphene based coatings have relatively the same level of gloss and durability. The life span of the coating will be a function of how often the vessel is used, stored and maintained. A general time frame would be roughly up to 12 to 24 months of protection before you would reapplication.
How to Use Liquid Kraken
-
Prepare the Surface:
- Wash and dry your boat thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or contaminants.
- Decontaminate the surface using a clay bar if necessary.
- Polish the surface to remove oxidation, scratches, or other imperfections for the best results.
- Wipe down the surface with an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution to ensure it is clean and residue-free.
-
Application Conditions:
- Work in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Ensure the surface is cool and dry before applying the product.
-
Apply Liquid Kraken:
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Apply a small amount of Liquid Kraken onto an applicator pad.
- Use a crisscross pattern (horizontal and vertical passes) to spread a thin, even layer of the product over a small section (2' x 2') of the surface.
-
Allow the Coating to Bond:
- Let the coating sit for 1-2 minutes, or until it begins to slightly haze. Avoid letting it dry completely.
-
Buff Off Residue:
- Using a clean, high-quality microfiber towel, gently buff off the excess product until the surface is slick and glossy.
- Flip to a dry side of the towel for a final pass to ensure all residue is removed.
-
Cure Time:
- Allow the coating to cure for at least 24 hours in dry conditions before exposing the vessel to water.
- Avoid washing the surface during this time for optimal bonding.
-
Maintenance and Reapplication:
- Maintain with regular cleaning using soap and water; avoid abrasive products that can degrade the coating.
- Reapply as needed, typically within 12-24 months depending on the vessel's usage, storage, and care.
Tips:
- Use a test spot to ensure proper application before proceeding with the entire surface.
- Store the product in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent contamination or drying out.
- For an enhanced shine and additional hydrophobic properties, pair with a compatible marine-grade detail spray or maintenance product.
Liquid Kraken creates a graphene shield for your boat, offering reduced water spotting, superior slickness, and exceptional durability. 🛥️✨
