Product Characteristics

Description

Hempel third-generation silicone foul-release coating Hempasil X3+ 87500 is a third-generation high-solids silicone-based foul-release coating, free of biocides. The hydrogel micro-layer prevents fouling organisms from attaching firmly and provides self-cleaning performance. The product is smooth, has low surface energy and unique foul-release properties.

Recommended use

Hempel third-generation silicone foul-release coating Hempasil X3+ is suitable for vessels with speeds above 8 knots. The product is also ideal for pipes and screens at power plant water intakes to prevent biofouling. It is also suitable for propellers.

Product features

• Contains no biocides.

• High to low activity level.

• The coating surface is highly smooth with low friction.

• Considerable potential for fuel savings.

• Effective immediately after contact with water.

• Easy recoating.

• Apply in a warm environment.

• May be applied at temperatures down to 0 °C [32 °F].

Pot Life

Recommended method

Nozzle pressure: 15 MPa

Airless Spray

Nozzle size: 0.48–0.53 mm

If brush or roller application is used, several coats may be required to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to suit site conditions. Pressure figures apply to the material at 20 °C. (*For other application methods, consult the company representative.)

Film thickness

Depending on the end use and service area, the product may be specified at film thicknesses other than those indicated. This will alter the spreading rate, drying and curing times and recoat interval. Achieving the specified minimum dry film thickness uniformly is critical. Checking paint consumption against area improves film thickness control.

Application conditions

• The surface to be coated must be clean and dry, and its temperature must be at least 3 °C [5 °F] above the dew point to avoid condensation.

• The ideal paint temperature for correct mixing, pumping and spraying is 20 °C [68 °F].

• During application, the product temperature must be above 15 °C [59 °F].

• In accordance with Hempel's specifications.

Relative humidity

• During curing, the relative humidity must be within the range 30–85%.

• During application, the relative humidity must be within the range 30–85%.

Notes

• To avoid contamination of other areas, masking is recommended.

• For application of the silicone paint system, refer to the Hempel guidelines.

Drying and recoat

Product compatibility

• Previous coat: according to Hempel's specifications. Recommended products:

• Subsequent coat: none.

Drying Time

Measured at 150 µm dry film thickness under standard conditions; see Hempel's explanatory notes. The drying time of moisture-curing products depends on relative humidity, so on-site drying times may differ.

Recoat

Hempel's specifications supersede all guidance shown in the recoat table.

Drying conditions

- To achieve the stated drying times, adequate ventilation during application, drying and curing is essential.

• Avoid condensation on the freshly applied coating.

• In accordance with Hempel's specifications.

Recoat notes

• The surface must be dry and clean before application.

• In accordance with Hempel's specifications.

Others

• Consult Hempel for information on launching time.

• Hempel's specifications supersede any recommendations in the Product Data Sheet.

Storage

Shelf Life

When stored in unopened original containers, shelf life is counted from the date of production. Thereafter, the product quality must be re-inspected. Storage at high temperatures may shorten the shelf life. For advice, consult Hempel.

Storage conditions

• Store under dry conditions. Protect from moisture ingress.

- Store the product in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet, label and local regulations. Keep containers in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly closed. Handle with care.

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint is based on a 1 µm dry film thickness formed over a surface area of 1 m².

The scope includes raw materials, transport to the Hempel factory, the Hempel production process, and any volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted during and after use of the product.
