Haihong Old Man's new Hempaguard MaX coating system helps push the fuel efficiency limit

, a world-renowned coating manufacturer, on September 5th unveiled an innovative anti-fouling coating system,
Hempaguard MaX
. This unique three-coated system makes the hull surface smoother and reduces drag, significantly reduces fuel consumption, and guarantees a maximum speed loss of
x
of only
1.2%
.
hempaguard MaX
three coatings, which means shorter construction times and up to two days of savings of up to

. This system combines reduced in-drying time with fuel consumption to offset coating costs and
in
.
Hempaguard MaX
system also significantly reduces fuel consumption, flexing vessels' navigational flexibility to maximize efficiency and reduce operating costs.
's head of ship paint product management at Haihong Old Man Group, David ippolito, said at the London launch:
"can save a lot of fuel and protect the hull because the average hull roughness of the entire coating system is reduced, the speed loss of
x
is also reduced, and corrosion resistance is improved." "
"
Hempaguard MaX
would be a reasonable choice for shipowners and operators to maximize efficiency and reduce associated CO2 emissions.
current marginal revenues are extremely important, while environmental regulations are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore, the choice of hull coatings will also have a great impact. On
coating system technology:
haihong old man this new kit is based on the star product
Hempaguard X7
huge success.
Hempaguard X7
used on more than 1,500 vessels since it was put on the market in 2013. A total of $500 million in annual fuel costs for shipowners and a total reduction of more than 10 million tons of CO2 emissions.
advantage of hempaguard MaX
is that there is sufficient synergy between the three coatings. They are
Hempaprime Immerse 900
, Transition Coatings
Nexus II
and
Hempaguard X8
.
Hempaguard X8
paint has excellent anti-fouling properties and is based on the patented enhanced
Actiguard ®
technology. This unique product combines the smoothness of silicone coatings with improved hydrogel micro-layers and active ingredients for superior anti-fouling capabilities, full navigational flexibility and a smooth hull surface.
hempaguard MaX
has a lower average hull roughness, mainly due to the
Hempaprime Immerse 900
and
Nexus II
. The smoother the hull surface and the less resistance to navigation, the more fuel efficiency can be improved from day one.
Hempaprime Immerse 900
is an anti-corrosion primer that can be constructed in a single coating.
Nexus II
is a next-generation transitional coating technology with optimized corrosion protection. Combined, the protection provided equals the protection of two standard epoxy paints for maintenance, reducing docking time and allowing ships to resume operations faster, resulting in cost savings for shipowners and operators.
's new
The Hempaguard MaX
3 coating system, combined with the

Hempel SHAPE
, is the only option for commercial shipowners and ship operators to improve fuel efficiency.
