- Applications
- Recommended use
- As a low VOC, high build finishing coat for protection of structural steel in corrosive environments. May be specified as a one coat "Direct To Metal" system in environments classified as C2 and C3. As a faster drying coat than standard Hempathane HS range with possibility of accelerating further by heating during drying process.
- Drying and overcoating
Product compatibility
Previous coat: According to Hempel’s Specification. Recommended product is: Hempadur 47140
Subsequent coat: None.
Drying timeSurface temperature
20°C [68°F] Touch dry min 60 Hard dry min 120
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
- The surface must be dry and clean prior to application.
Other remarks
- Hempel’s Specification supersedes any recommendations given in the Product Data Sheets.

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 15°C [59°F] during application and curing.
-
The film formation may be adversely affected by light rain, high humidity and/or condensation during application and the following interval after application: “6 hours, 20°C/68°F”.
-
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.
Relative Humidity
Relative humidity must be below 85% during application.-
