Directions for use
Apply Silic One Tiecoat at a minimum temperature of 10 °C and avoid direct sunlight during application.
- Make sure the surface is lightly sanded, clean, grease free and dry.
- Treat the surface with Hempel Light Primer or, when applying over suitable existing antifouling, with Hempel Conversion Primer.
- Stir Silic One Tiecoat thoroughly before use.
- Apply one coat with a brush or felt roller, using light, even strokes to achieve full coverage.
- When applying over Hempel Light Primer at 20 °C, Silic One Tiecoat can be applied after a minimum of 4 hours and within 72 hours.
- At 20 °C, apply Hempel Silic One at least 8 hours and no more than 48 hours after applying Silic One Tiecoat.
Once opened, the product can be used for a maximum of 1 hour.

- Article number

-
The materials, substrates or tasks a product is intended for. A general claim such as 'suitable for plastics' does not mean it works with every type of plastic; the specific substrate and its preparation still matter.
- Polyester boten, Aluminium boten, Stalen-boten

The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
- Silic One
-
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
- 10 °C
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 2 days (20 °C)
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- Approximately 10 m²/L
-
A specific thinner that can be used, where permitted, to adjust a product's application properties or viscosity. The correct thinner and maximum quantity depend on the product. Incorrect thinning can affect coverage, drying and curing.
- None
