temperature that is at least 3°C [5°F] above the dew point.
- Surface temperature must be above -10°C [14°F] during application
and curing. Drying conditions
- To obtain the drying time stated, it is important to maintain sufficient
ventilation during application, drying and curing.
Relative Humidity:
- Relative humidity must be below 85% during curing.
- Relative humidity must be below 85% during application. 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.

Drying and overcoating Other remarks

- Epoxy coats have an inherent tendency of chalking in outdoor
Product compatibility exposure. This does not affect the performance of the coating.
- Previous coat: None or according to Hempel’s specification. - Hempel’s Specification supersedes any recommendations given in
the Product Data Sheets.
- Subsequent coat: According to Hempel’s Specification.
