Product catalog summary
Product Description: HEMPASIL X3 is a third-generation fouling release coating with high solids content, based on silicone and biocide-free. It cures with the addition of HEMPASIL CROSSLINKER 98950, providing a smooth, low surface energy surface that repels fouling organisms and facilitates self-cleaning, offering high fuel-saving potential.
Recommended Use: Suitable for vessels with service speeds above 8 knots. It may accumulate some fouling under extended static conditions.
Availability: Part of Group Assortment; local availability subject to confirmation.
Physical Constants:
  • Shade/Colours: Red (other shades available)
  • Finish: Glossy
  • Volume Solids: 71 ± 1%
  • Theoretical Spreading Rate: 4.7 m²/l at 150 microns
  • VOC Content: 279 g/l
  • Fully Cured: 7 days at 20°C
  • Dry to Touch: 3 hours at 20°C
  • Specific Gravity: 1 kg/litre
  • Flash Point: 28°C
  • Shelf Life: 1.5 years for BASE, 1 year for CROSSLINKER
Application Details:
  • Mixing Ratio: 17.8:2.2 by volume
  • Application Method: Airless spray or brush for touch-up
  • Pot Life: 2 hours at 20°C after adding crosslinker
  • Nozzle Orifice: 0.019 - 0.021 inches
  • Nozzle Pressure: 150 bar
  • Film Thickness: 150 microns dry, 225 microns wet
  • Recoat Interval: According to specification
Safety and Handling: Handle with care, observe safety labels, consult Safety Data Sheets, and follow local or national safety regulations.
Application Conditions: Apply above 0°C on dry, clean surfaces above the dew point. Ensure adequate ventilation in confined spaces. Curing requires 30-85% relative humidity.
Preceding and Subsequent Coats: Preceding coat as per specification, recommended system: HEMPASIL NEXUS 27302. No subsequent coat required.
Remarks: Ensure thorough protection and cleaning before and after application. Avoid silicone contamination of other surfaces. Use THINNER 08080 for cleaning tools.

Product Data HEMPASIL X3 87500 FOULING RELEASE COATING 87500 : BASE 87509 : CROSSLINKER 98950 Description: HEMPASIL X3 is a third generation fouling release coating with high solids content. The product is based on silicone, is biocide free and cures after addition of HEMPASIL CROSSLINKER 98950. It provides a smooth, low surface energy repellent surface with unique fouling release properties. A hydro gel micro layer prevents fouling organisms firmly adhering while the silicone polymers facilitate self-cleaning. HEMPASIL X3 therefore possess a high fuel saving potential. Under extended static conditions (idle periods) the coating may accumulate some fouling. Recommended use: For vessels with service speeds above 8 knots. Availability: Part of Group Assortment.

HEMPASIL X3 87500 APPLICATION CONDITIONS: PRECEDING COAT Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above: 0°C/32°F. The temperature of the surface and that of the paint itself must also be above this limit. Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation. In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying. Curing requires a relative humidity of: minimum 30%, maximum 85%. The special application properties do furthermore necessitate extra consideration as to possible windy weather. The on-site...
