Description
High-performance silicone foul-release — hydrogel microlayer, market-leading fuel savings
Did you know
- Hempel Hempasil X3+ was launched in December 2015, building upon the earlier Hempasil X3, which was introduced in 2008.
- Hempasil X3+ is a third-generation fouling release coating within Hempel's Hempasil range, succeeding Hempasil X3 and offering enhanced protection and longer-lasting performance.
- This coating is chosen for its biocide-free, silicone-hydrogel technology, which creates a smooth, low-energy surface that prevents marine organisms from firmly adhering, leading to significant fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
| Model | Generation | Biocide-Free | Volume Solids (%) | VOC Content (g/L) | Recommended Speed (knots) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hempasil X3+ | Third | Yes | 70 ± 2 | 260 | Above 8 |
