88710
Hempel Silicone Coating 88710 is a two-component, high-solids topcoat, free of biocides, formulated on the basis of silicone hydrogel and specifically for the Hempaguard antifouling system to enhance its performance. As part of the Hempaguard coating system, Hempel Silicone Coating 88710 improves the overall smoothness of the hull, enhances self-cleaning properties and renders the hull surface ultra-smooth, uniform and antifouling.
Hempel Silicone Coating 88710 contains a reinforced hydrogel micro-layer that prevents fouling organisms from firmly attaching.
Hempel Silicone Coating 88710 is designed as the topcoat of the Hempaguard system and is suitable for all global trading patterns, coastal, fresh water or sea water environments.
Hempel Silicone Coating 88710 is recommended for all vessels with no speed limitation, including slow/ultra-slow steaming vessels, floating production storage and offloading units (FPSO) and vessels with maintenance intervals of up to 90 months and/or idle periods of up to 160 days. Also recommended for propellers.
- Can be easily repaired using Hempel's Silicones Repair Standard Method.
- Flexible application, suitable for all ambient temperature ranges (0 °C to 40 °C), consistent with Hempel's standard "Fast & Flex" specification system.

| Airless Spray | 10% | Nozzle pressure: 15 MPa; tip size: 0.38–0.43 mm |
| Brush/roller | Not applicable. |
If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Air spray requires thinning. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to site conditions. Pressure values apply to material at 20 °C. (*For other application methods, consult a company representative!).
| Specification range | Low | High | Recommended |
| Dry Film Thickness | 75 µm | 100 µm | 80 µm |
| Wet Film Thickness | 108 µm | 144 µm | 115 µm |
| Theoretical Spreading Rate | 9.3 m²/L | 6.9 m²/L | 8.7 m²/L |
Depending on the application and service area, the product may be specified at film thicknesses other than those indicated. This will change the spreading rate, drying and curing times and overcoating intervals. Checking paint consumption against area improves film thickness control. Excessive thickness must be strictly controlled; locally, 200 µm [8.0 mil] DFT must never be exceeded. In cases of irregular surfaces, particular attention is recommended to avoid excessive application.
