Application Instructions
Hempel’s Galvosil 15700
15700: LIQUID 15709: METAL PIGMENT 97170
For product description refer to product data sheet Hempel’s Galvosil 15700
Scope: This application instruction covers surface preparation, application equipment, and application of Hempel’s
Galvosil 15700.
The following are general rules, which may be supplemented with more detailed descriptions when needed,
for instance for major new-buildings/new constructions or extensive repair jobs.
Steel work: For optimum performance, e.g. relevant for cargo tank coating, the following is recommended:
All welding seams must have a surface finish which ensures that the quality of the paint system will be
maintained in all respects. Holes in welding seams, undercuts, cracks, etc. should be avoided. If found,
they must be remedied by welding and/or grinding.
All steel work must comply with ISO 8501-3:2006, preparation grade P3.
The steel must be of first class quality and should not have been allowed to rust more than corresponding
to grade B of ISO 8501-1:2007.
Local areas showing rust grade C must be subject to extended inspection of salt contamination.
Note: Porous surfaces such as certain types of cast iron cannot be properly protected with zinc silicate.
Deeply corroded steel may also be difficult to protect with a zinc silicate.
All steel work (including welding, flame cutting, grinding) must be finished before the surface preparation
starts.
Surface preparation:
Prior to abrasive blast cleaning of the steel, remove oil, grease, salts and other contamination with a suitable
detergent followed by high pressure fresh water hosing. Water soluble salts shall be removed by high
pressure fresh water hosing if the concentration is above 50 mg/m2.
Alkali deposits on new welding seams as well as soap traces from pressure testing of tanks to be removed
by fresh water and scrubbing with stiff brushes. Control for contamination according to separate guidelines.
On repair jobs, a rough blasting to remove all loosely adhering materials may be required before
degreasing/washing is carried out.
Old steel: Even after a very thorough cleaning, pits may typically contain contamination in the form of
remnants of chemicals/water soluble salts. For this reason, repeated detergent washing plus abrasive
blasting may be necessary. After the first blasting, a very thorough vacuum cleaning is carried out in order
to see if any "chemical bleeding" occurs as well as controls for water soluble salts (reference is made to
separate instructions) are made. Special care should be taken in evaluating pitted areas - ask for special
guidelines.
Abrasive blasting with sharp abrasive to min Sa 2½, ISO 8501-1:2007.
To obtain full chemical resistance according to the Chemical protection guide, the steel surface must be
abrasive blast cleaned according to ISO 8501-1:2007, very near to white metal Sa 2.5-3. In practice, this
requirement is to be understood as white metal Sa 3 at the moment of abrasive blasting, but allows for a
slight reduction at the moment of paint application. The resulting surface profile must be equivalent to
Rugotest No. 3, min. BN 10 or ISO Comparator min. Medium (G).
In case of new steel to be exposed to no more than medium aggressive (industrial) environment and without
any extraordinary demands to lifetime, a surface preparation degree of SSPC-SP6 may suffice.
Note: A lower surface profile than specified will cause reduced adhesion and increased tendency to mud
cracking.
Use steel grit, aluminium silicate, or similar sharp edged abrasives of a good quality free of foreign matters,
soft particles, and the like. Control for absence of contamination according to separate guidelines.
Steel grit with particle sizes of 0.2-1.2 mm or aluminium silicate of 0.4-1.8 mm will usually create the desired
surface profile when the air pressure measured at the nozzle is 6-7 bar/85-100 psi.
The compressed air must be dry and clean. The compressor must be fitted with suitable oil and water traps.
Issued: May 2020

When the abrasive blasting is completed, remove residual grit and dust by vacuum cleaning. Abrasive
particles not removed by vacuum cleaning are to be removed by brushing with clean brushes followed by
vacuum cleaning.
The importance of systematic working must be stressed when blasting. Poorly blasted areas covered with
dust are very difficult to locate during the blast inspection made after the rough cleaning.
Old tank coatings: Must be completely removed. If the steel is pit corroded, the above guidelines for "Old
steel" must be followed.
Shopprimed surfaces: When shoppriming is required only zinc silicate shopprimer such as HEMPEL’S
SHOPPRIMER ZS 15890 may be used and preferably in a reddish shade.
Before overcoating with GALVOSIL 15700, intact shopprimer must be abrasive grit swept in order to obtain
specified roughness. A uniform sweep blasting is required, removing minimum 70% of the shopprimer
followed by vacuum cleaning to remove accumulated dirt and zinc salts and to ensure adhesion.
Welds, rusty spots, burned areas, and all areas with other types of shopprimers than zinc silicates
equivalent to HEMPEL'S SHOPPRIMER ZS 15890 must be completely abrasive grit blasted as described
above.
Application equipment: GALVOSIL 15700 can be applied by conventional spray equipment (pressure pot type), airless spray
equipment, or by brush.
Conventional Spray equipment: Standard industrial spray equipment with mechanical agitator and
pressure regulators, air filters, and water traps.
Air hose: 10 mm (3/8") internal diameter.

Material hose: 13 mm (1/2") internal diameter.
Hoses should be as short as possible, preferably not longer than

10 metres/30 feet.
Pot pressure: 2.5-5 bar (35-70 psi)

Atomization pressure: 1.5-2.5 bar (20-35 psi)
Nozzle orifice: 1.8-2.2 mm (.070"-.085")
(Spray-data are indicative and subject to adjustment).
Thinning, if required: max. 10% of Thinner 08700.
The pressure pot must be placed at the same level as or at a higher level than the spray gun when spraying,
owing to the weight of the material. Alternatively a piston-pump (e.g. 10:1) may be used instead of the
pressure pot. This will facilitate the use of longer hoses or having the spray gun at a higher level than the
pump.
When painting undersides, the spray gun will need intermittent cleaning with THINNER 08700 to prevent
clogging of the nozzle.
With conventional spray application regulation of the pot and the atomizing air pressures can be made as
follows:
1. Shut off the atomizing air.
2. Regulate the pressure in the pot so that the material reaches approximately 60 cm/20"
horizontally out from the gun before falling to the ground.
3. Turn on the atomizing air using lowest possible pressure.
Airless spray equipment: A large, slow-working pump is preferred, e.g. 30:1, with a pump capacity of 8-
12 litres/minute. The in-line filter should be 60 mesh.
Gaskets: Teflon
Nozzle orifice: .019" through .023".
Fan angle: 40° through 70°.
Nozzle pressure: 100-150 bar (1400-2100 psi).
(Spray-data are indicative and subject to adjustment).
Thinning, if required: max. 10% of Thinner 08700 – see below.
Issued: May 2020

Thinning: The amount of thinning necessary will depend upon prevailing conditions: Temperature, humidity,
wind/ventilation, method of spraying, spray equipment, etc.
The normal thinning range is: 0-10%. Please consult Hempel for advice.
In the case of a high level of thinning and/or long stops in application, the mixed paint must be re-circulated
to avoid settlement of zinc particles in the spray hoses.
The coating must be wet and smooth just after application. Besides correct spray technique, the amount
of thinner added must be selected securing this optimum film formation.
Too little thinning will typically lead to dry-spray and too much thinning to sagging and settling of zinc
particles in the can or in the spray hoses.
Hempel’s Thinner 0870M can be used to accelerate curing - when airless spray application is used. This
may increase the tendency for mud cracking.
Hempel’s Thinner 0870M is not allowed to be used when Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 is used as a tank
coating.
Cleaning of equipment: The whole equipment must thoroughly be cleaned with THINNER 08700 after use.
Additionally for conventional spray-guns:

In the case of short stops, prevent packing of zinc around the needle by placing the spray gun in THINNER
08700 and let some air pass the spray gun. In the case of longer stops, clean the spray gun with THINNER
08700.
Mixing: a. Do not open packings until immediately before use. The entire content of the two packings must be
used for each batch to ensure a correct mixture. Leftovers in the packings cannot be used later.
Protect Hempel’s Zinc Metal Pigment 97170 against moisture before mixing.
b. Before mixing, shake or stir the Galvosil 15709 LIQUID very thoroughly.
c. Pour Hempel’s Zinc Metal Pigment 97170 slowly down into the LIQUID with constant mechanical
stirring. Do not mix in the reverse order. Continue stirring until the mixture is free of lumps.
d. Strain the mixture through a screen, 60 - 80 mesh (250 - 160 DIN Norm. 4188).
Temperature of paint: In a hot climate it is important that the cans with LIQUID 15709 are kept out of the sun and that the
temperature of LIQUID 15709 is kept below 30°C/86°F in order to avoid excessive dry spray.
Application procedure, Maintain constant agitation of the mixture until the batch is depleted.
general:
The spray gun should be kept at a distance of 30-50 cm from the surface. Hold the spray gun at a right
angle to the surface, making even, parallel passes with about 50% overlap.
Besides the correct spray technique the amount of thinner added must be carefully adjusted to secure
optimum film formation. Refer to “Thinning” section for more details.
Select small nozzles (small orifice and small fan angle) for spray application of complicated structures,
while bigger nozzles may be used for regular surfaces.
The wet film thickness must be checked immediately after application, but it can only be used as a rough
guidance because of the fast drying.
Application procedure, When used as a tank coating, Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 is normally specified in 1 x 100 micron/1 x 4 mils -
tank coating: minimum 90 micron/3.6 mils.
To achieve a correct film formation within these limits, it is recommended to apply two coats "wet-in-almost-
dry":
 Apply one coat and apply the second coat within 15-30 minutes before the first coat has turned
grey but is still dark.
Issued: May 2020

When following this procedure, Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 must be thinned in order to avoid too high film
thicknesses. Please consult Hempel for advice.
Too high film thicknesses on welds in corners must be smoothened by a flat brush, approximately 1" wide.
When coating tanks, it is of the utmost importance to avoid dry-spray, which is a typical indication
of poor film formation.
Poor film formation of a one-coat tank coating system like Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 may result in immediate
failure.
Dry spray: Any dry-sprayed areas must be smoothened by scraping with a spatula (rounded corners) or by
light sandpapering or by using a cleaning sponge ("3M", "Scotch-brite" type).
After vacuum cleaning as necessary, the smoothened areas are applied on a highly thinned coat of
Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 . Please consult Hempel for advice if needed.
Note: If working conditions ask for it some hours may elapse between the first and the second coat provided
that the relative humidity is kept constantly low, but it is recommended to finalize the application as soon
as possible and within the same working shift.
Stripe coating: All places difficult to cover properly by spray application must be stripe coated with a brush immediately
before or after the spray application.
Microclimate: The actual climatic conditions at the substrate during application and until acceptance:
Recommended minimum surface temperature is 0°C/32°F.

The maximum recommended surface temperature is approx. 40°C/104°F. Higher steel temperatures are
acceptable provided dry-spray is avoided by (extra thinning and) proper spray application. In extreme cases
a reduction of the dry film thickness may also be necessary. In a warm climate it is recommended to carry
out application during night time.
The steel temperature must be above the dew point. As a rule of thumb a steel temperature which is 3°C/5°F
above the dew point can be considered safe.
In confined spaces, supply an adequate amount of fresh air during application and drying to assist the
evaporation of solvent. All surfaces must be ventilated. However, avoid ventilators blowing directly onto the
freshly applied paint.
Drying and curing, Correct film formation depends on adequate ventilation during drying.
ventilation:
A good guideline for tank coating work is to ventilate to a calculated 10% of LEL during application and until
the coating is dry.
One litre undiluted Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 gives off in total 160 litres solvent vapour until it is completely
dry.
The lower explosive limit, LEL, is 0.5%.
To reach a common safety requirement of 10% LEL, the theoretical ventilation requirement is 320 m³ per
litre paint.
Because solvent vapours are heavier than atmospheric air, effective ventilation requires forced ventilation
with exhaust from the lowest part of the tank.
During the following period until full curing a few air shifts per hour will suffice. Take actions to avoid
"pockets" of stagnant air.
Please contact HEMPEL for further advice.
Actual safety precautions may require stronger ventilation.
It is recommended to keep the relative humidity low during application and drying. Thereafter, let the relative
humidity raise by "natural means", i.e. the dehumidifiers are notched off and normal ventilation used.
However, it is recommended to let dehumidifiers run until dry film thicknesses have been checked - and if
needed - rectified by an extra paint application.
Issued: May 2020

Curing state/time: The coating must be fully cured before taking into use and before overcoating.
The state of curing should be checked according to ASTM D4752 with a resistance rating of minimum 4.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) may be substituted by Hempel’s Thinner 08700 for the test.
Curing is dependent on relative humidity, (steel) temperatures and air circulation.
General curing conditions (using Hempel’s Thinner 08700)

Relative humidity Temperature Curing time
65% 0°C/32°F 3 days
65% 10°C/50°F 36 hours
65% 20°C/68°F 16 hours
The curing time can be reduced at low humidity by:
1. Hosing down the surface with water 1-2 hours after application and keeping the surface constantly
wet until curing is complete. If salt water is used, rinse with fresh water if the surface is to be
recoated.
2. Accelerating the curing can be done by adding Hempel's Thinner 0870M. Consult the product date
sheet for details.
The coating will resist light showers after 1-2 hours at 20°C/68°F and 50% relative humidity.
Full curing for cargo loading:
Before tanks are taken into use, the coating must be fully cured (The coating will be fully resistant according
to the Chemical protection guide.) This is secured by low pressure hosing/washing the tanks with (fresh)
water 2-3 times after the above described condition of "near to complete curing" has been obtained. By
using the tank washing equipment, the normal ½ hour cycle is applied with half a day to one day between
washings. Let the tanks remain wet between the washing.
Hempel’s Thinner 0870M is not allowed to be used when Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 is used as a tank
coating.
Recommended film For long time protection, when overcoated with heavy-duty systems:
thickness: Dry film thickness: 50-80 micron/2-3.2 mils
Wet film thickness: 75-100 micron/3-4 mils (undiluted).
For long time protection, without topcoat:

Dry film thickness: 75-100 micron/3-4 mils
Wet film thickness: 125-150 micron/5-6 mils (undiluted).
High service temperature, with or without silicone topcoat:

Dry film thickness: 75 micron/3 mils
Typically overcoated with 2x25 micron/1 mil silicone topcoat
In tanks:
Dry film thickness: 100 micron/4 mils
Wet film thickness: 150 micron/6 mils (undiluted).
For a tank coating specification the specified film thickness should be controlled according to the 90-10
rule, i.e. 90% of the dry film thickness measurements must be equal to or greater than the specified film
thickness (100 micron/4 mils) and of those below the specified film thickness, no measurements must be
lower than 90% of the 100 micron/4 mils.
For narrow frames, girders and similar areas not being very accessible the film thickness could be controlled
according to the 70-30 rule,
Too high dry film thickness, i.e. above approximately 125 micron/5 mils dry, should be avoided due
to the risk of mud cracking or peeling. Please observe that according to accepted rules of measuring "a
measurement" is to be the mean of three single point measurements taken in close vicinity.
Note: Special care is necessary to ensure proper film thickness on welding seams, edges, corners, ribs,
etc.

Extra coat (overcoating Too low film thickness can be made good by applying an extra coat of Hempel’s Galvosil 15700. Surface
by itself): preparation procedure - if necessary - and dilution of paint according to section “Application procedure,
tank coating".
Application of an extra coat should be done before the coating has fully cured, i.e. during the curing period
with low relative humidity. The relative humidity must be kept below 60%, absolute maximum 65 all the time
until overcoating and the painted surface is not exposed to open weather, contamination of the like.

Overcoating interval Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 must be fully cured before overcoating with a full paint system.
(other paints):
Overcoating procedure Non-weathered zinc silicate coatings are porous and popping may occur in the subsequent coat(s). One
way to reduce the risk of popping is to apply a mist coat as the first pass of the subsequent coat, let the air
escape, and then apply the remainder of the topcoat.
Some of HEMPEL's products will substantially reduce the risk of popping when applied directly on top of
the zinc silicate. See painting specification.
Advanced paint systems are recommended for overcoating, e.g. HEMPADUR qualities.
Surface cleaning: The cleaning before overcoating depends on the condition of the surface:
1. Intact zinc silicate surface with sporadic formation of “white rust” (zinc corrosion products).
a. Remove oil, grease, dirt, etc. by detergent wash.
b. Remove "white rust" by high pressure fresh water cleaning 200-350 bar (2900-5000 psi) at a
nozzle-to-surface distance of 15-20 cm (6-8").
If the surface is only slightly contaminated, corresponding to 1-2 months of exposure in a mildly
corrosive environment, hosing down of the surface with fresh water and scrubbing with stiff
brushes (nylon) may be sufficient and more practical. Check that the coating is through dry before
overcoating.
2. Zinc silicate surface with extreme formation of “white rust” which cannot be removed as described
above.
b. Abrasive blast sweep to remove "white rust", followed by vacuum cleaning to remove abrasives
and dust.
c. Restore the zinc layer with any solvent-borne Galvosil quality or zinc epoxy (Hempadur Zinc).
3. Damaged areas, burns, weld spatters, etc.

b. Remove weld spatters.
c. Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½, followed by thorough removal of abrasives and dust by
vacuum cleaning.
d. Restore the zinc layer with any solvent-borne Galvosil quality or zinc epoxy (Hempadur
Zinc).
Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and paint containers,
consult Hempel Material Safety Data Sheets and follow all local or national safety regulations. Avoid

Hempadur Avantguard 550, Hempadur Avantguard 750, Hempadur Avantguard 770.and Hempadur
Avantguard 860
Steel work (PSPC): The steel shall preferably be Rust Grade A or B according to ISO 8501-1. The use of steel with Rust Grade
C requires tighter inspection of surface profile after blasting as well as of possible salt contamination.
The steel surface shall be thoroughly prepared so that the coating achieves an even distribution at the
specified nominal dry film thickness of 50 - 100 micron (please refer to the specifications) and has adequate
adhesion. The final steel condition including welds and edges shall conform to preparation grade P2, ISO
8501-3: “Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Visual
assessment of surface cleanliness”.
Surface preparation: General: In order to obtain best performance, abrasive blast cleaning is recommended.
Abrasive blasting/abrasive sweep blasting: Before blasting any deposits of grease or oil must be removed
from the steel surface with a suitable detergent followed by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Minor spots of
oil/grease may be cleaned with thinner and clean rags - avoid smearing out the contamination. Possible
alkali weld deposits, chemicals used for testing of welds, soap residues from the pressure testing must be
removed by fresh water hosing. Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) with a sharp-edged surface
profile corresponding to Rugotest No. 3, BN10a-b, Keane-Tator Comparator, 2.0 G/S, 2 S, or ISO Comparator,
Medium (G).
Spot-repairs: Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to minimum St 3 or by abrasive
blasting to minimum Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. As an alternative, water jetting to minimum Wa 2 (ISO 8501-
4:2006) may be used or according to specification. A flash rust degree of maximum M (atmospheric exposure)
(ISO 8501-4:2006) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact areas. Brush off

After finishing the application, clean the equipment immediately with HEMPEL’S TOOL CLEANER 99610.
Note: Increasing hose diameter may ease paint flow thereby improving the spray fan. If longer hoses are
necessary it may be necessary to raise the pump ratio to 60:1, maintaining the high output capacity of the
pump.
Alternatively up to approximately 5-10% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must be done with
care as the maximum obtainable film thickness is reduced significantly by over-thinning.
Be aware that for Hempadur Avantguard 750 1736G, If can size is above 10 litres and more than 6
months after production date, a thoroughly stirring is required before application
Spray application: Film-build/continuity: With this paint material applied in one coat a continuous, pinhole-free paint film
should be obtained. An application technique which will ensure good film formation on all surfaces should
be adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and to have a proper, uniform
distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be aimed at. Furthermore, great care must be
taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas application of a stripe
coat will therefore be good painting practice. To obtain good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint
must be suitable and the spray equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity. At high
working temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid dust-spray.
The paint layer must be applied homogeneously and close to the specification, even though this product
has high tolerance to high dry film thickness.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous film and irregularities such as dust, dry spray,
abrasives, should be remedied.
Manual application: All grades of Avantguard are suitable for brush and roller application.
Areas can be applied with a medium lengths (nap) roller, thinning the product 5 – 10 per cent depending
on temperature and employing a cross rolling pattern for uniform thickness. It is recommended to have a
square roller bucket (rather than a tray) and move steadily forward always with enough paint on the roller
not coming back to areas already applied – work according to a plan and specification making frequent
WFT measurement at start up.

Maximum overcoating intervals:
If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, whatever the subsequent coat, roughening of the surface
is necessary to ensure optimum intercoat adhesion or in the case of overcoating with coatings other than
Hempadur, apply a (thin) additional coat of a Hempadur quality within the following directions for
overcoating:
 Long overcoating intervals:

A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion, especially in the case of
long overcoating intervals. Any dirt, oil and grease have to be removed with e.g. suitable detergent
followed by rinsing with fresh water. Remove “white rust” by high pressure fresh water cleaning
of 200-350 bars (2900-5000 psi) at a nozzle-to-surface distance of 15-20 cm (6-8”). Water soluble
salts content should be max. 60 mg/m2 ( 15 µS/cm).
If it is not possible to achieve the water soluble salts content because of extreme formation of
“white rust” then it is recommended to remove oil, grease, etc… by detergent wash. Then use
abrasive blast sweep to remove the “white rust” followed by vacuum cleaning to remove abrasive
and dust. After that it is necessary to restore the zinc layer with any Avantguard product.
For a NORSOK specification, the zinc primer must not be exposed to humid or outdoor conditions
and shall be overcoated with a suitable midcoat as soon as possible after drying (within 7 days).
 Any degraded surface layer, as a result of a long exposure period, must be removed as
well. 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.
Safety: Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and paint containers,
consult HEMPEL Material Safety Data Sheets and follow all local or national safety regulations. Avoid

Scope: These Application Instructions cover surface preparation, application equipment and application details
for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881.
Surface preparation: General:

In order to obtain best performance, abrasive blast cleaning is recommended. However, HEMPADUR
MASTIC 45880/45881 has “surface tolerant” properties and offers higher performance than many other
coatings when applied to surfaces mechanically cleaned only (salts, oil, grease etc. shall always be
removed).
Remove oil and grease with suitable detergent, salt and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh
water cleaning.
NEW STEEL:
When used as intermediate and/or finishing coat, surface preparation according to Product Data Sheet for
the preceding primer coat (HEMPADUR primers). When used as a selfpriming coat, surface preparation
according to specification.
When applied to GALVOSILS:

HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 can be applied when the GALVOSIL is cured. Consult
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS for the relevant GALVOSIL. Remove oil and grease etc. with suitable
detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. After exposure to
high humidity, zinc salts, "white rust", must be removed carefully by high pressure fresh water cleaning, if
necessary combined with scrubbing with stiff nylon brushes.
Repair and maintenance:
Spot-repairs:
Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to minimum St 2 (spot-repairs) or by abrasive
blasting to minimum Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface preparation will improve the performance
of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an alternative, water jetting to minimum Wa 2½ (ISO 8501-
4:2006)(or according to specification) may be used. A flash-rust degree of maximum M (ISO 8501-
4:2006) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact areas. Brush off loose
material. Touch up to full film thickness.
Compatibility:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 may be used in connection with other generic paint systems than
epoxy and polyurethanes.
It is recommended to make a test patch. In any case it is a must that the old paint system is tightly
adhering and is properly prepared before the touch-up is performed.
Full coating:
Compatibility with old system:

In general full compatibility can be expected with old epoxy systems. A test patch should always be
performed before full coating is decided. If the old epoxy is not weathered/chalked or if it is topcoated with
polyurethane, it is recommended to roughen the surface before overcoating. Furthermore, very thorough
cleaning is a must. Any dirt, chalked surface material, oil and grease should be removed with suitable
detergent followed by high pressure fresh water hosing of the entire surface.
Removal of old system:

Full coating after complete mechanical removal of an old paint system is possible too. Yet, it must be
considered that mechanical cleaning by disc grinding or by rotating wire brushing may produce a very
smooth surface which reduce the adhesive forces of the primer coat
Note: Another risk is remains of a hard black rust scale being cleaned to an apparent brightness without
showing any adhesive defects.
Yet, the exposure to open air during cleaning may have started a further oxidation of the hard black rust
making it mechanically weak and of poor adhesion to the underlying steel surface. Later, during service,
the scale plus overlaying paint material may flake off.
Issued: March 2015 Page: 1/4

When used for immersion service, repair:

Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by (high
pressure) fresh water cleaning. Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to St 3 (minor
areas) or by abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface preparation will improve
the performance of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an alternative to dry cleaning, water jetting to
minimum Wa 2½ (ISO 8501-4:2006), may be used. A flash rust degree of M, preferably L (ISO 8501-
4:2006) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound intact areas. Dust off residues. Touch
up to full film thickness
Note: On old steel surfaces having been exposed to salty water, excessive amounts of salt residues in
pittings may call for high pressure water jetting, wet abrasive blasting, alternatively dry abrasive blasting,
high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally, dry abrasive blasting again.
Application equipment: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 being a high solids and a relatively high viscosity material, may
require special measures to be taken at application.
Recommended airless spray equipment:
Pump ratio: min. 45:1

Pump output: 12 litres/minute (theoretical)
Input pressure: min. 6 bar/90 psi
Spray hoses: max. 100 metres/300 feet, ½” internal diameter
Regular surfaces:
Nozzle size: .021" through .023"
Fan angle: 60°
Complicated surfaces (and touch up):

Nozzle size: .017" through .021"
Fan angle: 40°
Airless spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment.
After finishing the application, clean the equipment immediately with THINNER 08450 or HEMPEL’S
TOOL CLEANER 99610.
Note: Increasing hose diameter may increase paint flow, thereby improving the spray fan. If longer hoses
are necessary it may be necessary to raise the pump ratio to 60:1, maintaining the high output capacity of
the pump.
Alternatively up to approx. 5% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must be done with care as
the anti-sagging properties are drastically reduced by overthinning.
Induction time: Should the paint temperature as an exception be 15°C/59°F or below, it is an advantage to allow the two
components to prereact before application. This is especially relevant in the case of substrate
temperatures also being below 15°C/59°F.
In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 15°C/59°F, an induction time of 15 minutes is

recommended. In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 10°C/50°F, an induction time of 25 minutes
is recommended. In order to obtain proper application properties, the paint temperature should preferably
never be below 10°C/50°F. Yet for substrate temperatures below 10°C/50°F an induction time of 30
minutes is recommended.
Spray application: Film-build/continuity:

With this paint material applied in one/few coat(s) it is of special importance that a continuous, pinhole-
free paint film is obtained at application of each coat. An application technique which will ensure good film
formation on all surfaces must be adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too
big, and to have a proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be aimed at.
Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners etc. Thus, on
these areas application of a stripe coat will therefore be good painting practice. To obtain good and
steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and the spray equipment must be sufficient in
output pressure and capacity. At high working temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to
avoid dust-spray.

The paint layer must be applied homogeneously and as close to the specification as possible. Avoid
exaggerated film thickness due to the risk of sagging, cracks and solvent retention. The paint
consumption must be controlled.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous film with a smooth surface and irregularities such
as dust, dry spray, abrasives, should be remedied.
Brush and roller At application with hand tools, brush, but especially by roller the natural tendency to a more uneven paint
application: film obtained by these methods, is to be counteracted by more coats applied. If at all possible each coat
is to be applied across the preceding one - in general follow good painting practise.
On poorly prepared surfaces it is always recommended to apply the first coat by brush. Extra thinning
will facilitate the penetration of the paint material, but will also require an extra layer to be applied.
Wet/dry film thickness: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 is normally specified in 125-200 micron/5-8 mils. Depending on
ambient conditions, usually maximum 5% thinning with THINNER 08450 is relevant, however, increasing
at high temperatures to ensure proper film formation and avoid dust spray. May be specified down to 100
micron/4 mils. To obtain optimum film formation in film thicknesses lower than 125 micron/5 mils dry film
thickness additional thinning with 5-10% THINNER 08450 is recommended.
Pot life: When measured under standard conditions the pot life is 1 hour at 20°C/68°F for HEMPADUR MASTIC
45880 respectively 1½ hours at 30°C/86°F for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45881. However, for a 20 litres/5 US
gallons mix, and used under warm climate conditions, the heat developed by the chemical reaction
between BASE and CURING AGENT may make the corresponding practical pot life shorter.
Therefore: At high temperatures, use the paint immediately after mixing irrespective of equipment

Notes:
 Avoid sudden drops in (substrate) temperatures during drying/initial curing. It is especially important that the substrate
temperature does not drop significantly before application of the acrylic or polyurethane finish and that proper ventilation is
maintained.
 In case of low temperatures, it is recommended that HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 has been given a proper induction time before
application. Under such conditions, consider paint temperature equal to substrate temperature and follow the rules given on under
“Induction time”.

Notes on extended overcoating Intervals with HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE qualities
Extended overcoating intervals can be utilised when the following is strictly observed:
The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned from all sorts of contaminants including invisible deposits of
water soluble salts, oil, grease and similar harmful chemical substances.
Surfaces having any degraded layer from exposure to UV radiation, heat etc. must have this layer
removed by mechanical cleaning methods like, water jetting, abrading or sweep blasting.
The existing coating system must in all respects be sound and applied according to Product Data Sheets,
Application Instructions and Specification,
It should be recognised that the optimal intercoat adhesion is best ensured by observing the interval
between the stated minimum and “Cured Time”. Utilising extended overcoating intervals it should further
be understood that by chemical nature the intercoat adhesion between HEMPADUR qualities are better
than between HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE qualities. To determine whether the quality of the surface
cleaning is adequate, a test patch may be relevant. However, such a test is not the final proof of long-
term durability, but if the result is doubtful, repeated cleaning will be relevant. A more safe solution could
be to refresh the surface with a new thin (diluted) coat of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881.

Hempel's Thinner 08080
Description: HEMPEL PAINT is produced and supplied in such a way that thinning is normally not necessary
provided the paint is properly mixed/stirred.
However, if the paint is to be applied in a low film thickness (for instance as a "sealer coat") or if the
paint has become too thick, e.g. in cold weather, the HEMPEL THINNER(s) indicated on the product
data sheet may be added to obtain a consistency most suitable for application. As a general rule,
thinning should be kept at a minimum as the quality of the paint work will suffer from too liberal thinning.
However, if application is to take place at high temperatures (air and/or steel), thinning may even
beyond the limits mentioned on the data sheets exceptionally be necessary in order to avoid dry-spray
and poor film formation.
HEMPEL’S THINNERS are blended to give the best results with regard to brush ability, spray
properties, etc.
In some cases ordinary solvents may substitute. As such products are beyond our control, we disclaim
any responsibility for the results.
In each case the respective product data sheet and - when available - the APPLICATION

repair and touch-up use: HEMPADUR FAST DRY 15560.
Repair and maintenance: Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove
salts and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Remove all rust and loose material
by wet or dry abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning. After wet abrasive blasting hose down the
surface with fresh water and allow drying. Feather edges to sound and intact areas. Dust off residues.
Touch up bare spots to full film thickness.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS: Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation.
Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above: 0°C/32°F
The temperature of paint itself should be 15°C/59°F or above.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
PRECEDING COAT: None, or as per specification.
SUBSEQUENT COAT: According to specification. HEMPADUR HEMPATEX HEMPATHANE HEMUCRYL
REMARKS:
Colours/Colour stability: Has a tendency to yellow after application. This will have no influence on the performance.
Weathering/service temperatures: The natural tendency of epoxy coatings to chalk in outdoor exposure and to become more sensitive to
mechanical damage and chemical exposure at elevated temperatures is also reflected in this product.
Application(s): Irregular surfaces: Similar to other very fast drying/curing epoxies; this product is sensitive towards
the geometry of irregular surfaces. Special care should be taken in relation to irregular surfaces
(welding seams, undercuts, corners etc.) as application with an excessive film thickness may result in
cracking.
Film thicknesses/thinning: Film thickness:
The recommended nominal dry film thickness (NDFT) is 75-150 micron/3-6 mils.
Overthickness on irregular surfaces shall be avoided or highly controlled.
Overthickness on overlapping areas, corners, welding seams, etc should be less than 300 μm/12 mils
DFT.
Shades: CURING AGENT 97560 will become darker during storage. This will result in darker and more
yellowish shade than grey 12170. The colour change will have no influence on the performance.
The product is also available in a Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) pigmented shade (Shade no. 12430 –
reddish grey).
Overcoating: Overcoating intervals related to later conditions of exposure: If the maximum overcoating interval is
exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion.
Before overcoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean the surface thoroughly with high
pressure fresh water hosing and allow drying.
A specification supersedes any guideline overcoat intervals indicated in the table.

Weathering/service temperatures: The natural tendency of epoxy coatings to chalk in outdoor exposure and to become more sensitive to
mechanical damage and chemical exposure at elevated temperatures is also reflected in this product.
Application(s): Application onto zinc silicate or spray-metallized surfaces (thinning): It is recommended to apply the
paint by using a "mist-coat" procedure provided the paint temperature is approximately above:
20°C/68°F. A thin, undiluted coat is applied (the mist coat) and after a few minutes, a second coat is
applied in the full specified film thickness. If the paint temperature is below: 20°C/68°F, thinning (max
15%) may be required.
Film thicknesses/thinning: 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 overcoating interval. Normal range dry is:
100-200 micron/4-8 mils. May be specified in lower film thickness for which purpose additional thinning
is required, please see separate APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Avoid application of excessive
film thicknesses.
Shades: The product is also available in a Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) pigmented shade (Shade no. 12430 –
reddish grey).
This product is available in several aluminium pigmented shades with different volume solids content.

salts and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Remove all rust and loose material
by abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning. Dust off residues. Touch up bare spots to full film thickness.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
PRECEDING COAT: According to specification. Recommended systems are: HEMPATEX HI-BUILD
SUBSEQUENT COAT: None.
REMARKS:
Colours/Colour stability: Colour stability for some shades may be effected by exposure to harsh chemical atmospheres. This
does not affect the performance of the coating.
For certain colours extra coats may be necessary to obtain full opacity.
For aluminium pigmented shades scratching actions or high humidity/water may cause discolouration/
disturbances of the surface. This will have no influence on the performance. This phenomenon may be
avoided by applying a clear varnish.
Weathering/service temperatures: Prolonged direct contact at temperatures above approx. 40°C/104°F may cause film indentation.
Application(s): If a skid-proof surface is desired, sprinkle while paint is still wet HEMPEL'S ANTI-SLINT 67500 evenly
on the first coat of: HEMPATEX ENAMEL 56360
When the paint is dry, sweep up surplus grit and apply a second coat of: HEMPATEX ENAMEL 56360
Antiskid properties can be obtained by mixing 1.0 kg of HEMPEL'S ANTISLIP BEADS 67420 into: 20
litres HEMPATEX ENAMEL 56360.
Film thicknesses/thinning: A series of maintenance jobs may result in build up of a too high total film thickness which may cause
blister formation due to "entrapped" solvents. Excessive film thickness must be avoided.
Shades: This product is available in several aluminium pigmented shades with different volume solids content.
Overcoating note: Before overcoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean the surface thoroughly with high
