Notes:
1. The temperatures in the tables above are mean values, but the temperature
during curing should at no time come below 10°C/50°F.
2. Curing will proceed under water when the water temperature is above
10°C/50°F.
3. Less curing than stated above before exposure to seawater may result in significant
discoloration of the surface.
Remarks: Stripe coating is recommended on surfaces difficult to cover properly by spray.
In case of deep pittings higher film thickness is recommended on areas with pittings.
To secure sufficient curing at low surface temperatures as well as to secure a
pinhole-free paint film at any temperature, the product should always be applied in a wet
film thickness above 600 micron.
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 inhalation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do
not swallow. Take precautions against possible risks of fire or explosions as well as
protection of the environment. Apply only in well ventilated areas.
