Pot lifeProduct temperature 20°C Pot life 2 hours Application method
Tool Application parameters Electrostatic Not Applicable. Airless spray Nozzle pressure: 150 bar [2200 psi] Nozzle orifice: 0.017-0.019" Brush Not Applicable. If brush or roller application is used, more coats will be necessary to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment. Pressure is for a material temperature of 20°C [68°F].

[410 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 -10°C [14°F] during application and curing.
- Beware of ice on the surface at low temperatures.
- The film formation may be adversely affected by light rain, high humidity and/or condensation during application and the following interval after application: “8 hours, 20°C/68°F”.
Application remarks
- Two coats of the topcoat may be necessary to obtain full hiding power.
- 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 Hard dry 3 hours 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.
