CONDITIONS: temperature must never drop below this limit until full curing has taken place. The
temperature of the paint itself must be above 15°C/59°F, best results are obtained at 17-
23°C/62-73°F. Relative humidity max. 80%, preferably 40-60%. Apply on a dry and clean surface
with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation.
Provide adequate ventilation during application and drying in confined spaces.

REMARKS: Some of the certificates have been issued under the former quality number 1550.
Film thicknesses: Minimum total dry film thickness for the system is 300 micron/12 mils. May be specified in higher
film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate
and influence drying time. For further information about film thicknesses, see separate
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Colour: Minor differences in shade 11630 may occur.
Recoating: Roughening of the surface is necessary if the maximum recoating interval is exceeded.
Mixing: The thoroughly mixed BASE and CURING AGENT must be prereacted before application (15
minutes at 20°C/68°F), at other temperatures, please see APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Thinning: Keep thinning at an absolute minimum. Do not dilute the components separately - only the
mixture.
Curing: Resistance to the widest range of cargoes is provided by additional heat curing, see APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS and CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE.
Note: HEMPADUR 15500 is for professional use only.
