International Intercept 8500 LPP

Designed for high-performance marine vessels, Intercept 8500 LPP delivers an industry-leading, low-drag hull finish with reliable biocide release across the docking cycle. Its patented Lubyon® technology ensures consistent “linear polishing” performance that rivals legacy TBT coatings—without TBT’s environmental drawbacks .

Key Specifications:

• Volume Solids: 56 % ± 2 % (ISO 3233) 

• VOC: 378 g/L (EPA Method 24) 

• Dry Film Thickness: 75–170 µm (typical ~125 µm dry / 223 µm

• Technology: TBT-free, low-friction, linear polishing polymer (LPP)

Outstanding Performance:

• Up to 1.3 % speed loss over docking cycle, improved fuel efficiency 

• Maintains linear biocide release, providing uniform fouling protection up to 90 months in various trade regions 

• Suitable for high-fouling coastal waters—proven in demanding zones like the Arabian Gulf and Southeast Asia 

Application & Compatibility:

• Single-pack, no pre-thinning; mix thoroughly before use 

• Apply via airless spray (tip 0.54–0.8 mm @ ≥2,700 psi), brush, or roller 

• Prep: Apply over approved primer; clean to SSPC-SP1, blast steel to Sa2½

Durability & Long-Term Benefits:

• Reduced hull roughness: dive inspections show exceptionally smooth hulls (46–90 µm) 

• Over 100 hull applications since its 2016 launch helped save US $25.5M in fuel, avoid 274,000 t CO₂ emissions 

Safety & Storage:

• Flammable, toxic, and very toxic to aquatic life; use PPE, ventilate, and follow SDS 

• Shelf-life: minimum 6 months at 25 °C; store dry and shaded
