[450 sq ft/US gal]Product may be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate, drying and curing time and overcoating interval. For best performance, avoid excessive film thickness.
Application conditions
- To avoid condensation, apply on a clean and dry surface with a temperature that is at least 3°C [5°F] above the dew point.
- Surface temperature must be above 0°C [32°F] during application and curing.
Relative Humidity:
- Relative humidity must be above 30% during curing.
Application remarks
- Two coats of the topcoat may be necessary to obtain full hiding power.
- Drying and overcoating
Product compatibility
- Previous coat: None or according to Hempel’s specification.
Recommended products are: Hempel's Galvosil, Hempadur
- Subsequent coat: None.

Determined for dry film thickness 75 micron [3.0 mils] at standard conditions,
see Hempel’s Explanatory Notes for details.
Drying conditions
- To obtain the drying time stated, it is important to maintain sufficient
ventilation during application, drying and curing.
- Condensation on the freshly applied coating should be avoided.
Overcoating details
- If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the
surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion.
- The surface must be clean before overcoating.
Other remarks
- Hempel’s Specification supersedes any recommendations given in
the Product Data Sheets.
