Hempasil X3+

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: HEMPASIL X3+ is a third-generation fouling release coating based on silicone hydrogel. It is biocide-free, two-component, and has a high solids content. The coating provides a smooth, low surface energy surface with unique fouling release properties, offering high fuel-saving potential compared to traditional antifoulings. It complies with the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships.
Recommended Use: Suitable for vessels with service speeds above 8 knots and can be used on propellers. It is also ideal for power plant water inlets on pipes and grates to prevent biofouling.
Physical Constants: The product has a glossy finish with a volume solids content of 71 ± 1%. The theoretical spreading rate is 4.7 m²/l at 150 microns. The VOC content is 260 g/l, and the product is fully cured in 7 days at 20°C. The shelf life is 2 years for the base and 1 year for the crosslinker.
Application Details: The product should be mixed in a ratio of 17.8:2.2 by volume and applied using airless spray or brush for touch-ups. The indicated dry film thickness is 150 microns, and the wet film thickness is 225 microns. Application should occur at temperatures above 0°C with a relative humidity between 30% and 85%.
Safety and Handling: Handle with care and follow all safety labels and regulations. Thorough cleaning of tools with THINNER 08080 is necessary, and solvents should not be reused after cleaning.
Storage Conditions: Store under dry conditions, protected from humidity. Ensure thorough protection and cleaning procedures before and after application to avoid contamination.
Additional Notes: A well-executed spray application is necessary, and it is recommended to conduct a small-scale application first. The product is for professional use only, and it is advisable to apply the HEMPASIL SYSTEM after all other exterior painting is complete.

Product Data HEMPASIL X3+ 87500 fouling release coating 87500 : BASE 87509 : CROSSLINKER 98951 Description: HEMPASIL X3+ is a third generation fouling release coating based on silicone hydrogel. HEMPASIL X3+ is biocide free, two-component and has a high solids content. HEMPASIL X3+ provides a smooth, low surface energy and repellent surface with unique fouling release properties. A hydrogel micro layer prevents fouling organisms from firmly adhering and provides self-cleaning properties. Therefore, HEMPASIL X3+ possesses a high fuel saving potential compared to traditional antifoulings. During extended idle periods the coating may accumulate some fouling. HEMPASIL X3 does not contain organotin compounds acting as biocides and complies with the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships as adopted by IMO, October 2001 (IMO document AFS/CONF/26). For vessels with service speeds above 8 knots. The product can also be used for propellers. Also ideal for use in power plant water inlets on pipes and grates to prevent biofouling.

Product Data HEMPASIL X3+ 87500 APPLICATION CONDITIONS: 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 furthermore necessitate extra consideration as to possible windy weather. The on-site representative...
