New Products
designed to protect old or new cedar, pine, spruce or fir, pres-sure-treated lumber and exotic hard woods on decks with a
formula that deeply penetrates wood, while achieving uniform tone and outstanding color. Where film-build coatings
can easily peel and scratch, exposing wood to the elements,
2-Coat DEC provides water repellency from rain and lasting
protection from UV exposure.
HEMPEL LAUNCHES HEMPASIL NEXUS X-SEAL
Hempasil Nexus X-Seal is a new tie-coat from Hempel. The
new coating technology allows shipowners to upgrade vessels coated with traditional antifouling to Hempasil X3
using only one tie-coat, and without fully blasting the ship’s
hull. The new tie-coat gives shipping companies access to
the fuel-saving and environmental benefits of Hempasil X3,
even on vessels with conventional antifouling coatings.
Nexus X-Seal is Hempel’s first tie-coat designed specifically to tie silicone topcoats to traditional antifouling coatings.
Hempel estimates that the one-coat Nexus X-Seal solution
can save shipping companies up to five percent in drydock-ing expenses when applying a fouling release coating on top
of an existing antifouling coating.

rapid room temperature cure when exposed to UV and/or
visible light. Any coating in shadowed areas on densely
populated circuit boards may be cured with heat. Based on
Dymax Multi-Cure 984-LVUF, the version 987 is designed
with better wetting on circuitry and components. CW
