HEMPEL Tin-Free Self-Polishing Antifouling Globic 8000 78550 is a high-end high-solids chemical-hydrolysis SPC (self-polishing) antifouling based on nano acrylate technology (NAT). The product has refined polishing control, low friction, self-smoothing and ideal instant polishing activation among products of its class, achieving ideal performance from the first day thanks to an efficient biocide package containing three biocides. A high polishing rate improves performance; more biocide leaches to the surface and maintains an extremely thin leached layer. The product uses ultrafine fibre technology to ensure high mechanical strength, avoid cracking and detachment, and reduce the maintenance costs required for repair.
HEMPEL Tin-Free Self-Polishing Antifouling Globic 8000 78550 can be used for newbuildings, and for maintenance of underwater hulls and the boottop. The product is particularly suitable for slow-steaming and frequently idle vessels. Dry-docking intervals of up to 90 months.
- This product contains no cybutryne or organotin compounds as biocides, and complies with the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships adopted by the IMO in October 2001 (IMO document AFS/CONF/26 and subsequent amendments).

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. To achieve optimum performance, avoid excessive film thickness. Excessive thickness must be strictly controlled; local thickness must never exceed 150 µm [6.0 mils] DFT. On irregular surfaces, take particular care to avoid over-application.
Previous coat: according to Hempel's specification. Recommended products: HEMPEL Epoxy Tie-Coat 45182, HEMPEL Epoxy 47182, HEMPEL Epoxy Tie-Coat 49183.
