HEMPADUR®LTC 15030
CURING AGENT 97030
Description: HEMPADUR LTC 15030 is a low temperature curing (LTC), two-component, polyamide
adduct cured coal tar epoxy, which provides a very hard-wearing coating, highly resistant
to sea water, crude oil, fuel oil, etc. Not resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons, including
some grades of petrol, or stronger solvents.
Aliphatic hydrocarbons will discolour.
Recommended use: For long-term protection of steel and concrete in severe corrosive environments and
immersed areas, e.g. on submerged surfaces, in crude and fuel oil tanks, and water
tanks, when the application temperatures are below approx. 10°C/50°F.
Service temperatures: Dry: In oil: In water (no temperature gradient):
Maximum: 90°C/194°F 60°C/140°F 45°C/113°F
Certificates/Approvals: Tested for non-contamination of grain cargo at the Newcastle Occupational Health, Great
Britain.
Approved by Lloyd's Register of Shipping and Bureau Veritas as a corrosion control
coating.
Approved as a ballast tank coating by Germanischer Lloyd, Germany.
Availability: Part of Group Assortment. Local availability subject to confirmation.
