APPLICATION

Mixing ratio

Base 35569 : Curing Agent 98560 (6.8 : 2 by volume)
Thinning is not allowed. Stir well before use.

Thinner

No thinning

Cleaner

Hempel’s Tool Cleaner 99610


POT LIFE

Product temperature Induction time Pot life
15°C [59°F] 20 min 2 hours
20°C [68°F] 10 min 1½ hours
25°C [77°F] 5 min 1 hour

APPLICATION METHOD

Tool Thinning max vol. Application parameters
Airless spray No thinning Nozzle pressure: 220 bar [3200 psi]
Nozzle orifice: 0.019-0.025″
Brush No thinning Not Applicable

If brush or roller application is used, more coats will be necessary to achieve the specified dry film thickness. As tank lining, brush and roller application must only be limited to stripe coating and touch up areas or minor repairs.


FILM THICKNESS

Specification range Low High Recommended
Dry film thickness 200 micron [8.0 mils] 600 micron [24 mils] 200 micron [8.0 mils]
Wet film thickness 200 micron [8.0 mils] 600 micron [24 mils] 200 micron [8.0 mils]
Theoretical spreading rate 5 m²/L [204 sq ft/US gal] 1.7 m²/L [69 sq ft/US gal] 5 m²/L [204 sq ft/US gal]

For best performance, avoid excessive film thickness.


APPLICATION CONDITIONS

  • Temperature of product must be above 15°C [59°F] during application
  • 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 [50°F] during application and curing
  • If surface temperature is below 15°C [59°F], the relative humidity must be below 65%

Relative Humidity:

  • Relative humidity must be below 85% during curing

DRYING AND OVERCOATING

Product compatibility

  • Previous coat: None or according to Hempel’s specification
  • Subsequent coat: None

Drying time

Surface temperature Touch dry Surface dry Hard dry Fully cured
10°C [50°F] 12 h 34 h 40 h 14 d
20°C [68°F] 7 h 12 h 16 h 7 d
30°C [86°F] 4½ h 7 h 9 h 4 d
40°C [104°F] 4 h 4½ h 6 h 3 d

Determined for dry film thickness 200 micron [8.0 mils] at standard conditions, see Hempel’s Explanatory Notes for details.


OVERCOATING

Hempel’s specification supersedes any guidelines indicated in the overcoating table.

Quality name 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C
Immersion

Overcoating times are indicative for products of the same generic chemistry. Consult Hempel’s specification for more information.


DRYING CONDITIONS

  • To obtain the drying time stated, it is important to maintain sufficient ventilation during application, drying and curing

OVERCOATING DETAILS

  • If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion
  • The surface must be dry and clean prior to application
  • As tank lining, if the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface by sweep abrasive blasting is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion

OTHER REMARKS

  • Hempel’s Specification supersedes any recommendations given in the Product Data Sheets
  • Epoxy coats have an inherent tendency of chalking in outdoor exposure. This does not affect the performance of the coating

STORAGE

Shelf life

Ambient temperature Base Curing Agent
25°C [77°F] 36 months 12 months

Shelf life from date of production, when stored in original, unopened containers. Thereafter, the product quality must be re-inspected. Storage at elevated temperatures may reduce shelf life. For advice, please consult Hempel.


CARBON FOOTPRINT

Dry film thickness 1 µm 1 mil
GWP 7.5 g CO₂e/m² 0.039 lb CO₂e/ft²

The carbon footprint is for 1 square meter / square foot of surface area with a dry film thickness of 1 micron / mil.
The scope includes raw materials, in-bound transport to the Hempel factory, Hempel manufacturing processes, and any Volatile Organic Compounds emitted during and after the application of the product.
It is calculated based on the standard shade defined in this PDS. Values may vary with shade.
