Hempaguard X8 89940
HEMPEL Silicone Antifouling Hempaguard X8 89940 is an advanced defensive antifouling based on ActiGuard® technology, making full use of advanced hydrogel silicone technology and the enhanced effect of effective antifouling biocides, forming an effective antifouling barrier and extending the fouling-free period; it therefore has high energy-saving potential and ensures good operational flexibility. The product is suitable for vessels with long service intervals (up to 90 months) and/or long idle periods (up to 120 days). The synergy of this product with HEMPEL Silicone Fouling Release Sealer 27400 and HEMPEL Primer 17890 ensures ultra-low surface friction when the ship is moving through water, effectively saving energy.
All vessels, with no speed restriction. Also suitable for slow steaming/ultra-slow steaming. The product is a high-solids advanced fouling-defensive coating, also suitable for use on propellers. The product contains no 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).

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.)

| Theoretical Spreading Rate | 5.3 m²/L | 3.2 m²/L | 4 m²/L |
Depending on the end use and service area, the product may be specified at film thicknesses other than those indicated.
This will change the spreading rate, drying and curing time and recoating interval. Achieving the specified minimum dry film thickness uniformly is essential. Checking paint consumption by area improves film thickness control.
| Surface temperature | 10°C | 20°C | 30°C |
| Hard Dry | 3 h | 1 | ¾ |
The 200 µm dry film thickness is measured under standard conditions; see Hempel's explanatory notes. The drying time of moisture-cured products depends on relative humidity, so on-site drying times may differ.
- To achieve the stated drying times, adequate ventilation during application, drying and curing is essential.
| Ambient temperature | 25°C |
| Binder | 24 months |
