CURING AGENT 95360

Description: HEMPADUR 15550 is a two-component polyamide adduct-cured epoxy paint. It cures down
to -10C/14F to a strong coating with good adhesion properties.

galvanized surfaces. In moderately corrosive environments. HEMPADUR 15550 is also
suited in cases where roughening of the surface is not possible. Please see surface
preparation overleaf.

Take precautions against possible risks of fire or explosions as well as protection of the
environment. Apply only in well ventilated areas.

SURFACE Remove oil and grease etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by (high
PREPARATION: pressure) fresh water cleaning. "White rust" must be removed by sandpapering or light abrasive
sweeping.
In certain cases - related to the structure of the outer zinc layer - roughening of the galvanized surfaces
will be necessary to secure adhesion.
Concerning galvanizing it is recommended that fluxing takes place before dipping steel in the zinc
kettle. Furthermore, see REMARKS below.
APPLICATION Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid
CONDITIONS: 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 -10C/14F. The
temperature of the surface must also be above this limit.
The temperature of the paint itself should be 15-25C/59-77F. In confined spaces provide adequate
ventilation during application and drying.
SUBSEQUENT HEMPADUR, HEMPATHANE or HEMPATEX qualities according to specification.
COAT:
REMARKS:
Passivation/ Ammonium chloride or any other passivation agent should not be present on the surface when
Surface Preparation: 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 30C/86F.
Application: As the galvanized zinc layer may be porous it is recommended to apply a mist coat of undiluted
HEMPADUR 15550, allow air to escape, and then apply a full coat of HEMPADUR 15550 a few minutes
later.
Film thicknesses: 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
50-80 microns/2.0-3.2 mils.

Maximum Minimum
*Except for mild climatic conditions avoid long-term exposure of galvanized steel only coated with a thin layer of paint as this may
create white rust under the paint.
If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, whatever the subsequent coat, roughening of the
surface is necessary to ensure optimum intercoat adhesion or in the case of recoating with
coatings other than HEMPADUR, apply a (thin) additional coat of HEMPADUR 15550 within the above
directions for recoating.
A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion, especially in the case of long
recoating intervals. Any dirt, oil and grease have to be removed with eg suitable detergent followed by
high pressure fresh water cleaning. Salts to be removed by fresh water hosing.
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.
To check whether the quality of the surface cleaning is adequate, a test patch may be relevant.
Note: HEMPADUR 15550 is for professional use only.
