Product Data Sheet

HEMPADUR 15553 SURFACE PREPARATION:

Stainless steel and aluminium: Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove salts and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Roughening of the surface is recommended for optimum adhesion. Galvanised steel: Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Zinc salts (white rust) must be removed by high pressure hosing combined with rubbing with a stiff nylon brush if necessary. It is recommended to recoat spray-metallised surfaces as soon as possible to avoid possible contamination.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS:

Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation. At the freezing point and below be aware of the risk of ice on the surface, which will hinder adhesion. Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above: -10°C/14°F The temperature of the surface must also be above these limits. The temperature of the paint itself should be: 15-25°C/59-77°F. In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

SUBSEQUENT COAT:

According to specification. HEMPADUR, HEMPATHANE, HEMPATEX

Recoating note:

Note: ISSUED BY:

Ammonium chloride or any other ivation agent should not be present on the surface when coating the galvanized surface. Water should not be used for cooling down the steel. Cleaning of steel should not be initiated unless the steel temperature is below: 30°C/86°F As the galvanized zinc layer may be porous it is recommended to apply a mist coat of diluted product, allow air to escape, and then apply a full coat of the product a few minutes later. May be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate and may influence drying time and recoating interval. Normal range dry is: 5080 micron/2.0-3.2 mils In case of recoating with coating other than HEMPADUR, apply a (thin) additional coat of the product withing the described directions for recoating. A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion, especially at long recoating intervals. Any dirt, oil, grease, and other foreign matter must be removed with suitable detergent followed by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Salts to be removed with by fresh water hosing. Any degraded surface layer, as a result of a long exposure period, must be removed. Water jetting may be relevant to remove any degraded surface layer and may also replace the above mentioned cleaning methods when properly executed. Consult HEMPEL for specific advice if in doubt. To check whether the quality of the surface cleaning is adequate, a test patch may be relevant. HEMPADUR 15553 For professional use only. HEMPEL A/S 1555311630
