GENERAL NOTES:
SURFACE PREPARATION
BOTTOM
Type: Description:
Oil and grease etc. to be removed by emulsion cleaning. Entire area to be (high
pressure) fresh water cleaned in order to remove salt and other contaminants.
Rusty and damaged areas to be abrasive blasted to Sa 2 - Sa 2½, alternatively
A mechanically cleaned to St 2 - St 3. Improved surface preparation will improve the
performance of the paint system. Feather edges to sound and intact paint. Dust off
residues.
Damaged areas to be cleaned thoroughly by power tool cleaning to St 3 (spot
repairs) or abrasive blasted to min. Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface
preparation will improve the performance of the paint system. Feather edges to
sound and intact paint. Dust off residues.
C As an alternative to dry cleaning, water jetting to minimum WJ-2 (NACE No.
5/SSPC-SP 12), may be used. A flash-rust degree of FR-2, preferably FR-1 (Hempel
standard) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact
paint. Dust off residues.
On pit-corroded surfaces excessive amounts of salt residues may call for water
jetting or wet abrasive blasting, alternatively dry abrasive blasting followed by high
pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally, dry abrasive blasting again.
D Abrasive blasting to minimum Sa 2½. Grit-blasted surfaces: Recommended profile
is Rz minimum 100 micron/4 mils - maximum 150 micron/6 mils, corresponding to
ISO Comparator Coarse (G).

Area: BOTTOM
Remarks:
The surface must be completely clean and dry with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation.
At the freezing point and below be aware of the risk of ice on the surface, which will hinder the adhesion.
The specified high film thickness can best be obtained by airless spray application. If another application method is used more applications are necessary to
achieve the specified dry film thickness.
Pit-corroded areas may call for an extra coat to fill out pittings.
Full coat of HEMPATEX HI-BUILD 46330 is optional depending on type and condition of old/existing antifouling and of type of new antifouling system to be applied.
A series of maintenance jobs may result in build up of a too high total film thickness which may cause blister formation due to "entrapped" solvents. As each coat
may also retain solvents, it is generally recommended NOT to apply HEMPATEX in excessive film thickness.
Limited resistance to vegetable and animal oils (e.g. fish oil).
Before recoating after exposure in contaminated environments, clean the surface thoroughly by (high pressure) fresh water hosing and allow to dry.

Area: BOTTOM
Remarks:
If the working procedure calls for a blast primer use HEMPADUR 15570 in 50 micron dry.
Tar bleeding may occur. This is solely a cosmetic effect. It has no negative influence on neither the anticorrosive nor the antifouling properties.
HEMPADUR 15130:
The temperature of the paint itself should preferably be above 15°C/59°F. Best results are obtained at surface and paint temperatures of 15-25°C/59-77°F.
The maximum recoating interval between layers of HEMPADUR 15130 can be doubled on the condition that the coating has not been exposed to sunlight,
water/condensation, or to (other) contamination before recoating. Furthermore the surface of the first layer of HEMPADUR 15130 must be free of any exudations.
This is secured by keeping the conditions of application, drying and curing, i.e. such as ventilation, temperature, film thickness and thinning within the described
limits. Note that excessive temperatures also must be avoided.
If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion.

If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, apply a (thin) additional coat of HEMPADUR 45182. 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 advise if in doubt. To check whether the quality of the surface cleaning is adequate, a test patch may be relevant.

GENERAL REMARKS TO THE BOTTOM SPECIFICATION:
1. Vertical bottom includes rounding of bilges to the first longitudinal weld seam on flat bottom each side.
2. Scruppers to be plugged or fitted with special drains to prevent water from running down the ship's sides during
cleaning and painting.
3. Echo sounder, anodes, propeller(s), etc. to be effectively protected against paint overspray.
4. Work shall preferably be carried out during daylight hours. If work has to be carried out at night (or in dark weather)
the yard shall provide sufficient light for work to be carried out in accordance with the specification.
5. No abrasive blasting to be executed in the neighbourhood of wet paint.
6. Precautions shall be taken to prevent (used) abrasives from contaminating painted surfaces. If such contamination
takes place abrasives must be removed and any damage to the coating(s) repaired.
7. Precautions shall be taken to prevent grit from entering rudder and stern tube. The cleanliness of these areas to
be approved by the owner's representative.
8. The first coat of paint to be applied before rusting of cleaned surfaces occurs. If dry abrasive blasted surfaces
have rusted, re-blasting or abrasive sweep blasting shall be carried out. When wet abrasive blasting is specified,
non-powdery flash rusting is acceptable but the surface shall be completely dry.
9. All paints to be applied by airless spray equipment. When necessary - in order to achieve the specified film thick-
ness - cross spray technique shall be utilized. If roller/brush application exceptionally is utilized (e.g. to cut in
lines) more coats will be necessary to achieve the recommended film thickness.
10. The proper way of governing the film thickness is by subdividing the areas to be painted and calculating the
amount of paint to be applied on each area. The exact amount of paint calculated shall be evenly applied on the
sub-area.
11. Paint shall be applied only to surfaces that are completely dry, free from dust, salt, fouling, loose paint, cleaning
residues and other impurities.
12. All other paint work shall be completed before a start is made on the first coat of antifouling.
13. Each coat of paint shall be completed before starting on the following coat.
14. The number of coats, the dry film thickness and the manner and sequence in which they are applied shall be in
accordance with the specification. Specifications with different antifoulings on vertical and flat bottom require a
fixed sequence of application.
Any other type of antifouling shall be completed before application of GLOBIC, OCEANIC and OLYMPIC.
Overlaps between two systems should be kept to a minimum.
15. Antifouling and two component products shall be carefully stirred by mechanical means.
16. To ensure a good result the specified recoating intervals and drying time before undocking, adjusted to the
ambient temperature, shall be adhered to.
17. Only the correct type of Hempel Thinner shall be used for thinning and cleaning of the application equipment.
Thinning of paints shall be kept at a minimum and may only take place if approved by the owner's and/or
Hempel's representative.
18. With certain anticorrosives, tar bleeding may occur. This is solely a cosmetic effect and has no negative influence
on neither the anticorrosive nor the antifouling performance.
19. Names, draught marks and possible other areas to be painted in accordance with the owner's instructions.
20. All phases of surface preparation and paint work to be approved by the owners representative.
Note: When in direct contact with seawater some of the antifouling shades will change, viz brown 60600 to grey. Red
51110 and brown 60700 fade during service. This has no negative influence on the performance of the antifouling.

Remarks:
THINNER 08080 may be used for spray application, however, with a certain risk of wrinkling of the preceding FRESH coat of HEMPALIN.
A series of maintenance jobs may result in build up of a too high film thickness which may cause blister formation due to "entrapped" solvents. As each coat may
also retain solvents, it is generally recommended NOT to apply HEMPALIN ENAMEL 52140 in excessive film thickness.
If the enamel is overcoated with antifouling the latter is prone to crack. It is recommended not to apply the enamel below the application line for the antifouling.
If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion. However, for regular maintenance of old
weathered alkyd topcoats thorough cleaning will usually be sufficient to establish acceptable intercoat adhesion. Where many maintenance coats have been
applied, internal stresses may weaken the intercoat adhesion. Remove loosely adhering paint untill sound areas have been reached.

Remarks:

Consult the separate APPLICATION INSTRUCTION for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880.

The type and amount of thinner depend on application conditions, application method, temperature, ventilation, and substrate. THINNER 08080 is recommended in
general. THINNER 08510 may be used alternatively depending on local conditions.
AIRLESS SPRAY: 5-15% thinning is recommended. Under extreme conditions up to more than 20% may be necessary to obtain satisfactory film formation.
The best result is obtained by applying a mist coat of HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210 at first, and then 2-15 minutes later apply to full film thickness giving a
uniform film formation. Do not exaggerate the film thickness.
A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion, especially at long recoating intervals. Any dirt, oil, and grease has to be removed, e.g. with
suitable detergent. Salts to be removed by fresh water hosing. To check an adequate quality of the surface cleaning a test patch is recommended before actual
recoating.
CURING AGENT 95370 is sensitive to moisture. Store in a dry place and keep the can tightly closed until use. Open curing agent cans with caution as overpressure
might exist. Even small traces of water in the mixed paint will reduce the pot-life and result in film defects.

Recoating of HEMPALIN DECKPAINT 53240 should take place when the first coat is dry and within 4 hours. If this interval is exceeded, do not recoat until after two
weeks. No maximum interval for adhesion.
If a skid-proof surface is desired, sprinkle HEMPEL'S ANTI-SLINT 67500 evenly over the first coat of HEMPALIN DECKPAINT 53240 while still wet. (Consumption:
approximately 7,5 kg 67500 to 20 litres of paint). When the paint is dry, sweep up surplus grit and apply a second coat of HEMPALIN DECKPAINT 53240.
Anti-skid properties can also be attained by mixing 1.0 kg of HEMPEL'S ANTI-SLIP BEADS 67420 into 20 litres of HEMPALIN DECKPAINT 53240.

Remarks:


The best result is obtained by applying a mist coat of HEMPATHANE ENAMEL 55210 at first, and then 2-15 minutes later apply to full film thickness giving a
recoating.
On areas where a non-skid surface (medium high textured) is required it is advisable to use HEMPEL'S ANTI-SLINT 67500 on the "wet" HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT
55210 surface. Apply an additional coat of HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210 when the surplus of HEMPEL'S ANTI-SLINT 67500 has been removed.

Area: CARGO HOLDS
Remarks:
HEMPEL'S SILVIUM 51570:

Spray application is recommended.
For brush application use a flat brush not more than 10 cm/4" wide. Do not dilute. After the paint has been laid on, it shold be distributed with light strokes and in
one direction only. If the paint is worked too much with brush or roller, it will become streaky and greyish and loose its lustre. The effect is cosmetic only and has no
influence on the protective properties.
Finish: At high temperatures HEMPEL'S SILVIUM 51570 will become greyish and loose its lustre. This effect is cosmetic only and has no influence on the
protective properties.
Stripe coating before spray application of each coat is to be done on areas difficult to reach such as e.g. edges, corners, flanges and reverse sides. After lastl coat a
"stipe coat" by spray (small, narrow angled nozzles) is to be given to all welds and free edges.
With this cargo hold coating system it is especially important that the specified film thickness is achieved all over and that a uniform film formation free of any
pinholes and other defects is obtained for each coat applied.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
Before taking cargo hold into use, allow paint film to dry and cure completely (including several days by strong ventilation).

Remarks:
With this few coat paint system it is especially important that the specified minimum film thickness is achieved all over for each coat applied..
The maximum recoating interval can be prolonged to 4 days at 20°C/68°F on the condition that the coating has not been exposed to sunlight, water/condensation or
to (other) contamination before recoating. Furthermore, the surface of the first coat of HEMPADUR 15100 must be free of any exudations. This is secured by
keeping the conditions of application, drying and curing, ie such as ventilation, temperature, film thickness and thinning within the described limits. Note that
excessive temperature during application/curing also must be avoided.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
For product description refer to the product data sheet
HEMPADUR®15400
15400: BASE 15409 with CURING AGENT 95100
Scope: These application instructions cover surface preparation, application equipment, and
application of HEMPADUR 15400 as a tank coating.
The following are general rules, which may be supplemented with more detailed
descriptions when needed, for instance Page
for major newbuildings/new constructions or
extensive repair jobs.
Steel work: All welding seams must have a surface finish which ensures that the quality of the paint
system will be maintained in all respects. Holes in weldings seams, undercuts, cracks,
etc. should be avoided. If found, they must be remedied by welding and/or grinding.
All weld spatters must be removed.
All sharp edges must be removed or rounded off in such a way that the specified film
thickness can be build-up on all surfaces. The radius of the rounding should be
approximately 1-2 mm.
The steel must be of first class quality and should not have been allowed to rust more
than corresponding to grade B of ISO 8501-1:1988. Any laminations must be removed.
All steel work (including welding, flamecutting, grinding) must be finished before the
surface preparation starts.
Surface preparation: Prior to abrasive blast cleaning of the steel, remove oil, grease, salts and other
contamination with a suitable detergent followed by (high pressure) fresh water hosing.
Alkali deposits on new welding seams as well as soap traces from pressure testing of
tanks to be removed by fresh water and scrubbing with stiff brushes. Control for
absence of contamination according to separate guidelines.
On repair jobs, a rough blasting to remove all loosely adhering materials may be
required before degreasing/washing is carried out.
Old steel: Even after a very thorough tank cleanings, pits may typically contain
contamination in the form of remnants of old cargoes as well as water soluble salts. For
this reason, repeated detergent washing plus abrasive blasting may be necessary:
After the first blasting, a very thorough vacuum cleaning is carried out in order to see if
any "cargo bleeding" occurs as well as controls for water soluble salts are made.
Reference is made to separate instructions. Special care should be taken in evaluating
pitted areas.
To obtain full chemical resistance according to the CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE, the
steel surface must be abrasive blast cleaned according to ISO 8501-1: 1988, Sa 2½.
The resulting surface profile must be equivalent to Rugotest No. 3, min. BN 10,
Keane-Tator Surface Comparator, G/S min. 3.0 or ISO/DIS 8503/1 rough MEDIUM (G).
Use steel grit, aluminium silicate or similar sharp-edged abrasives of a good quality free
of foreign matters, soft particles, and the like. Control for possible contamination
according to separate guidelines.
Steel grit with particle sizes of 0.2 - 1.2 mm or aluminium silicate of 0.4 - 1.8 mm will
usually create the desired surface profile when the air pressure measured at the nozzle
is 6 - 7 bar/85 -100 psi.
Issued: March 2002

HEMPADUR 15400
The compressed air must be dry and clean. The compressor must be fitted with suitable
oil and water traps.
When the abrasive blasting is completed, remove residual grit and dust by vacuum
cleaning. Abrasive particles not removed by vacuum cleaning are to be removed by
brushing with clean brushes followed by vacuum cleaning.
The importance of systematic working must be stressed when blasting. Poorly blasted
areas covered with dust are very difficult to locate during the blast inspection made
after the rough cleaning.
Shopprimed and previously painted surfaces: Existing coating materials to be

completely removed. Depending on the type of shopprimer and the requested chemical
resistance, the shopprimer should be removed
Page
completely or partly. Reference is made
to HEMPEL's CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE/tank coating specification.
Note: Degree of steelwork finish and surface preparation are more detailed described
in HEMPEL’s Technical Standard for Tank Coating Work.
Application equipment: HEMPADUR 15400 is to be applied by airless spray equipment. Stripe coating and
minor repairs can be carried out by brushing.
Airless spray equipment: A large pump is preferred, with a pump capacity of 8-12
litres/minute.
Pump ratio: Min. 45:1

Nozzle orifice: .018”-.021"
Nozzle pressure: 200 bar (2900 psi)
Hoses: To avoid excessive loss of pressure in long hoses, hoses with an
internal diameter of up to 0.5" can be used
(Spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment).
Thinning: If required: max. 10% of THINNER 08450, possibly higher if tendency to dust-spray will
require more thinning eg at higher temperatures. Thinning should only be at the
required level to avoid possible risk of solvent entrapment.
Only add thinner to the mixed paint.
Cleaning of equipment: The whole equipment to be cleaned thoroughly with HEMPEL’S TOOL CLEANER 99610
after use.
Mixing, pot life: a. Mix the entire content of corresponding base and curing agent packings. If it is
necessary to mix smaller portions, this must be done properly by either weighing
base and curing agent in the prescribed weight ratio: 87 parts by weight of base
and 13 parts by weight of curing agent or by volume: 4.0 parts by volume base and
1.0 parts by volume curing agent.
b. Stir the mixed paint thoroughly by means of a clean mechanical mixer until a
homogeneous mixture is obtained.
c. Allow the mixed paint to pre-react before application, see table below.
d. Use all mixed paint before the pot life is exceeded. The pot life depends on the
temperature of the paint as shown in table below (valid for a 20 litres can):
CURING AGENT 95100:

Temperature of mixed paint (10°C/50°F1) 15°C/59°F1) 20°C/68°F 25°C/77°F 30°C/86°F2)

1) At paint temperatures below 15°C/59°F the viscosity can be too high for airless spray application.
2) Temperatures at 30°C/86°F and above should be avoided due to an enhanced risk of dry-spray and poor film
formation.

1) At painttemperatures below 15°C/59°F the viscosity can be too high for airless spray application.
Application procedure: The first full coat is usually applied immediately after vacuum cleaning. The first stripe
coat afterwards. The final dry film thickness of the three coat system must be between
240-500 micron.
The wet film thickness must be 175-200 micron and must be measured regularly.
Page
Film-build/continuity: With this tank coating, it is of special importance that a

continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of each coat. An
application technique must be adopted to ensure good film formation on all surfaces
and no dust spray. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, ie not too big.
Select small nozzles for spray application of complicated structures, while bigger
nozzles may be used for regular surfaces. A proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to
the surface, 30-50 cm, should be aimed at. To obtain good and steady atomising, the
viscosity of the paint must be suitable and the spray equipment must be sufficient in
output pressure and capacity. At high working temperatures, use of extra thinner may
be necessary to avoid dust-spray.
The paint layer must be applied homogeneously and as close to the specification as
possible. The consumption of paint must be controlled and heavy layers must be
avoided because of the risk of sags and cracks and solvent retention.
Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of
stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas a stripecoat will usually be necessary.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous film with a smooth surface and
irregularities such as dust, dry spray, abrasives, must be remedied.
Note: In the case of old, pit-corroded steel, application of a diluted, extra first coat is
recommended to obtain better "penetration" in the fine pits. For this purpose, it is
relevant to dilute approximately 10%. Application by brush is recommended and film
thickness so low that the surface is "saturated" only.
Stripe coating: All places difficult to cover properly by spray application should be stripe coated twice by
brushing. The first stripe coat is applied either before or after the first full coat. The
second stripe coat is most typically applied after the second full coat. Which procedure
to follow depends on the actual working conditions. A sprayed coat using small spray
nozzles with a narrow angle may substitute the second brush-applied stripe coat,
however, lightening holes and similar, plus possible undercuts and similar will still
demand brush- applied stripe coating.
Micro climate: The actual climate conditions at the substrate during application:
The minimum surface temperature is 10°C/50°F when using CURING AGENT 95100,
5°C/41°F when using CURING AGENT 95990.
The maximum surface temperature should preferably be below approximately

30°C/86°F. In a warm climate it is recommended to carry out application during
night-time. Application at high temperatures, up to approximately 40°C/104°F, is
possible, but extra care must be taken to avoid poor film formation and excessive
spraydust. Extra thinning may also be necessary.
The steel temperature must be above the dew point. As a rule of thumb, a steel
temperature which is 3°C/5°F above the dew point can be considered safe.
In confined spaces, supply an adequate amount of fresh air during application and
drying to assist the evaporation of solvent.

HEMPADUR 15400
Drying and curing, In a dry film thickness of 80 micron, with a steel temperature of 20°C/68°F, a relative
ventilation: air humidity of maximum 80% and adequate ventilation, HEMPADUR 15400 will be dry
to touch after 8-10 hours. For similar drying conditions, the paint film will accept light
traffic after approximately 24 hours.
Correct film formation depends on an adequate ventilation during drying.
A good guideline for tank coating work is to ventilate to a calculated 10% of LEL during
application and until the coating is dry.
One litre undiluted HEMPADUR 15400 gives off in total 123 litres solvent vapour until it
is completely dry. Page
The lower explosive limit, LEL, is 0.5%.
To reach a common safety requirement of 10% LEL, the theoretical ventilation

requirement is 250 m³ per litre paint.
Because solvent vapours are heavier than atmospheric air, effective ventilation requires
forced ventilation with exhaust from the lowest part of the tank.
During the following period until full curing a few air shifts per hour will suffice. Take
actions to avoid "pockets" of stagnant air.
Please contact HEMPEL for further advice.
Actual safety precautions may require stronger ventilation.
Curing time: Provided that adequate ventilation, recommended relative humidity, specified film
thickness, and recommended minimum recoating interval are kept, the following curing

The maximum relative humidity before and between the coats should not exceed 80%
and the steel temperature should always be above the dew point, in practice minimum
3°C/5°F above the dew point.
The maximum intervals assume that the film formation is of good quality and without dry
spray and that no kind of surface contamination exists except contamination which can
be removed completely by vacuum cleaning. Furthermore, the coating must not have
been exposed to direct sunlight for more than maximum 2 days.
Conditions for Dry spray is not acceptable as this will reduce the protective characteristics of the
paint application work: paint and make later tank cleaning difficult. Dry spray can be avoided by using adequate
stagings, spraying equipment and methods.
Page
Hold the spray gun at a right angle to and about 30-50 cm/1-1½ foot from the surface
making even parallel passes at a rate to produce the specified wet film thickness as
per specification.
Avoid dry spray (overspray creating excessive paint mist), e.g. by using a smaller fan
angle, and the lowest possible pressure. A small fan angle should also be used, if
spray application is used, for "stripe coating" of for instance reverse sides of stiffeners.
Each layer must be applied homogeneously and as near above the specification of 80
micron dry film thickness as possible. The consumption of paint must be controlled,
and heavy layers must be avoided because of the risk of sagging, cracks and solvent
retention.
Surface irregularities such as dry spray, sagging, exaggerated thickness or embedded

dust or abrasives will have to be remedied.
If sandpapering between layers, for instance on the bottom, is needed, great care must
be taken to avoid damage of otherwise intact surfaces. When using mechanical means
only lightweight equipment should be used, orbital sander is recommended. Yet, avoid
sandpapering on top of welds or irregularities or near to vertical surfaces.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous surface without pores, runners or
contamination of any kind.
For the standard specification following applies to the dry film thickness:
The minimum dry film thickness is 240 micron, the maximum thickness to be aimed at
is approximately 500 micron. The minimum dry film thickness is evaluated according to
the "80-20" rule, i.e. no more than 20% of the total number of individual measurements
must be lower than the minimum dry film thickness, and the lowest individual
measurement must be at least 80% of the minimum dry film thickness, ie 192 micron.
Dry film thickness control is not to be carried out within the first 24 hours after
application of final coat (20°C, sufficient ventilation). The measurement must be carried
out using an electromagnetic dry film thickness gauge calibrated with shims placed on a
smooth steel substrate. The maximum dry film thickness can be evaluated according to
the "80-20" rule.
Repairs: It is of great importance that all damage to the coating is repaired.
Repair shall be started up as soon as possible. Repair of mountings for stagings, etc.
must take place in connection with the dismantling of the stagings, the tempo of which
shall be adjusted to the touch-up procedure.
It is important that the repaired areas, as well as the rest of the coated areas, are fully
cured before the tank is taken into use or washed by the tank cleaning system.
The extent of damage to the coating can be evaluated by a sea water test. Wash the
tanks with clean sea water by means of the tank cleaning machines until profiles
and/or heating coils on tanktop is covered. Allow the water to stay for minimum 3 days,
after which period the tank is emptied and cleaned with clean fresh water to remove
salts.

Old steel: Even after a very thorough tank cleanings, pits may typically contain
contamination in the form of remnants of old cargoes as well as water soluble salts. For
this reason, repeated detergent washing plus abrasive blasting may be necessary. After
the first blasting, a very thorough vacuum cleaning is carried out in order to see if any

1) At 15°C/59°F and below, the viscosity can be too high for airless spray application.
2) Temperatures at 30°C/86°F and above should be avoided due to a risk of dry-spray.
Application procedure: The first full coat is usually applied immediately after vacuum cleaning. The first stripe
coat afterwards.
Film-build/continuity: With this tank coating intended for aggressive cargoes, it is of

special importance that a continuous, pinhole-free
Page paint film is obtained at application of
each coat. An application technique which will ensure good film formation and no
dry-spray on all surfaces must be adopted.
It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, ie not too big. Select small nozzles
for spray application of complicated structures, while bigger nozzles may be used for
regular surfaces.
A proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm, should be aimed
at. To obtain good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and
the spray equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity. At high working
temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid dry-spray.
The paint layer must be applied homogenously and as close to the specification as
Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners
etc. Thus, on these areas a stripecoat will usually be necessary.

brushing immediately before the spray application. Typically, first stripe coat is applied
after the first full coat and the second stripe coat after the second full coat.
The second stripe coat with brush can be replaced with spray application with a small
narrow nozzle, but still air slots and similar and possible undercuts (welds) and the like
will require brush application.
Film thicknesses: The final dry film thickness of the three coat system must be between 300-600 micron
(max. 450 micron below 15°C)/12-24 mils (max. 18 mils below 59°F).
Corresponding to 100 micron/4 mils dry film thickness, the wet film thickness must be
150-175 micron/6-7 mils and must be measured regularly.
Normally up to 200 micron/8 mils per coat may be accepted for 100 micron/4 mils
specifications, but at temperatures below 15°C/59°F, it is important not to exceed a
dry film thickness of 150 micron/6 mils in any area.

HEMPADUR 15500
Micro climate: The actual climate conditions at the substrate during application:
The minimum surface temperature until full cure is 10°C/50°F.
To ensure an all-over steel temperature of minimum 10°C/50°F, special attention should

be paid to possible "cold bridges" eg stiffeners on deck.
In case of steel temperatures lower than 10°C/50°F there is a severe risk of incomplete
curing, resulting in a too open film with reduced chemical resistance.
When the outside temperature is lower than 10°C/50°F, it is therefore recommended to

use insulation mats on deck and in addition to aim at a general steel temperature of
15°C/59°F to minimise the risk of (locally) too low steel temperatures.
Page
Furthermore, the steel temperature should be kept reasonably constant - within the
range of ± 3°C/5°F is recommended. Any changes of the outside temperature should
therefore be carefully monitored and heating equipment calibrated accordingly.
A sudden drop of the steel temperature shortly after application will result in solvent
entrapment and will cause a dry film containing vacuoles, ie resulting in reduced
performance.

nighttime. Application at high temperatures, up to approximately 40°C/105°F, is
possible, but extra care must be taken to avoid poor film formation and excessive spray
dust.
The steel temperature must be above the dew point. As a rule of thumb, a steel
temperature which is 3°C/5°F above the dew point can be considered safe. The relative
humidity shall preferably be 40-60%, maximum 80%.
In confined spaces, supply an adequate amount of fresh air during application and
drying to assist the evaporation of solvent.
Drying and curing, In a dry film thickness of 100 micron/4 mils, with a steel temperature of 20°C/68°F, a

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.
The short minimum recoating intervals when overcoated with 46330, 46370, 46410
and 58030, HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE in case of workshop application, are only
possible if the finished paint system is through dry before exposure to the environment.
Before recoating after exposure in contaminated environment, irrespective of recoating

interval, clean surface thoroughly e.g. by (high pressure) fresh water hosing and allow to
dry.

tanks to be removed by fresh water and scrubbing with stiff brushes. Control for absence
of contamination according to separate guidelines.
Old steel: Even after a very thorough cleaning, pits may typically contain contamination
in the form of remnants of chemicals/water soluble salts. For this reason, repeated
detergent washing plus abrasive blasting may be necessary. After the first blasting, a
very thorough vacuum cleaning is carried out in order to see if any "chemical bleeding"
occurs as well as controls for water soluble salts (reference is made to separate
instructions) are made. Special care should be taken in evaluating pitted areas - ask for
special guidelines.
Grit blast to min Sa 2½, ISO 8501-1:1988.
To obtain full chemical resistance according to the CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE, the steel
surface must be abrasive blast cleaned according to ISO 8501-1:1988, very near to
white metal Sa 2½-Sa 3. In practice, this requirement is to be understood as white
metal Sa 3 at the moment of abrasive blasting, but allows for a slight reduction at the
moment of paint application.
The resulting surface profile must be equivalent to Rugotest No. 3, min. BN 10a,
Keane-Tator Surface Comparator, G/S min 3.0 or ISO/DIS 8503/1 rough MEDIUM (G).

In case of new steel to be exposed to no more than medium aggressive (industrial)

environment and without any extraordinary demands to lifetime, a surface preparation
degree of SSPC-SP6 may suffice.
Note: A lower surface profile than specified will cause reduced adhesion and increased
tendency to mud cracking.
Use steel grit, aluminium silicate, or similar sharp edged abrasives of a good quality
free of foreign matters, soft particles, and the like. Control for absence of contamination

the rough cleaning.
Old tank coatings: Must be completely removed. If the steel is pit corroded, the above
guidelines for "Old steel" must be followed.
Shopprimed surfaces: When shoppriming is required only zinc silicate shopprimer such
as HEMPEL’S SHOPPRIMER ZS 15890 may be used and preferably in a reddish shade.
Before recoating with GALVOSIL 15700, intact shopprimer must be abrasive grit swept in
order to obtain specified roughness. A uniform sweep blasting is required, removing
minimum 70% of the shopprimer followed by vacuum cleaning to remove accumulated
dirt and zinc salts and to ensure adhesion.
Welds, rusty spots, burned areas, and all areas with other types of shopprimers than
zinc silicates of a type like HEMPEL'S SHOPPRIMER ZS 15890 must be completely
abrasive grit blasted as described above.
Application equipment: GALVOSIL 15700 can be applied by conventional spray equipment (pressure pot type),
airless spray equipment, or by brush.
Conventional Spray equipment: Standard industrial spray equipment with mechanical

agitator and pressure regulators, air filters, and water traps.
Air hose: 10 mm (3/8") internal diameter.

Material hose: 13 mm (1/2") internal diameter.
Hoses should be as short as possible, preferably not longer than 10 metres/30 feet.
Pot pressure: 2.5-5 bar (35-70 psi)

Atomization pressure: 1.5-2.5 bar (20-35 psi)
Nozzle orifice: 1.8-2.2 mm (.070"-.085")
(Spray-data are indicative and subject to adjustment).
Thinning, if required: max. 50% of THINNER 08700.
The pressure pot must be placed at the same level as or at a higher level than the spray
gun when spraying, owing to the weight of the material. Alternatively a piston-pump (e.g.
10:1) may be used instead of the pressure pot. This will facilitate the use of longer
hoses or having the spray gun at a higher level than the pump.


When painting undersides, the spray gun will need intermittent cleaning with THINNER
08700 to prevent clogging of the nozzle.
With conventional spray application regulation of the pot and the atomizing air pressures
can be made as follows:
1. Shut off the atomizing air.
2. Regulate the pressure in the pot so that the material reaches approximately 60
cm/20" horizontally out from the gun before falling to the ground.
3. Turn on the atomizing air using lowest possible pressure.
Airless spray equipment: A large, slow-working pump is preferred, e.g 30:1, with a pump
capacity of 8-12 litres/minute. The in-line filter should be 60 mesh.
Page
Gaskets: Teflon
Nozzle orifice: .019" through .023".
Fan angle: 40° through 70°.
Nozzle pressure: 100-150 bar (1400-2100 psi).
Thinning, if required: max. 30% of THINNER 08700.
Thinning: The amount of thinning necessary will depend upon prevailing conditions: Temperature,
humidity, wind/ventilation, method of spraying, spray equipment, etc.
In the case of a high level of thinning and/or long stops in application, the mixed paint
must be recirculated to avoid settlement of zinc particles in the spray hoses.
The coating must be wet and smooth just after application. Besides correct spray
technique, the amount of thinner added must be selected securing this optimum film
formation.
Too little thinning will typically lead to dry-spray and too much thinning to sagging and
settling of zinc particles in the can or in the spray hoses.
Cleaning of equipment: The whole equipment must be cleaned thoroughly with THINNER 08700 after use.
AddItionally for conventional spray-guns:
In the case of short stops, prevent packing of zinc around the needle by placing the
spray gun in THINNER 08700 and let some air pass the spray gun. In the case of longer
stops, clean the spray gun with THINNER 08700.
Mixing: a. Do not open packings until immediately before use. The entire content of the two
packings must be used for each batch to ensure a correct mixture. Left-overs in
the packings cannot be used later. Protect the ZINC DUST against moisture
before mixing.
b. Before mixing, shake or stir the GALVOSIL 15709 LIQUID very thoroughly.
c. Pour the ZINC DUST slowly down into the LIQUID with constant mechanical
stirring. Do not mix in the reverse order. Continue stirring until the mixture is free
of lumps.
d. Strain the mixture through a screen, 60 - 80 mesh (250 - 160 DIN Norm. 4188).
Pot life: 8 hours at 20°C/68°F.
Temperature of paint: In a hot climate it is important that the cans with LIQUID are kept out of the sun and that
the temperature of the liquid is kept below 30°C/86°F in order to avoid excessive dry
spray.


Application procedure, Maintain constant agitation of the mixture until the batch is depleted.
general:
The spray gun should be kept at a distance of 30-50 cm from the surface. Hold the
spray gun at a right angle to the surface, making even, parallel passes with about 50%
overlap.
Besides correct spray technique the amount of thinner added must be carefully adjusted
to secure optimum film formation. The coating must be wet and smooth just after
application. It is important to avoid dry-spraying.
Select small nozzles (small orifice and small fan angle) for spray application of
complicated structures, while bigger nozzles may be used for regular surfaces.
The wet film thickness must be checked immediately after application, but it can only be
used as a rough guidance because of the fast drying.
Page
Application procedure, When used as a tank coating, HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 is normally specified in
tank coating: 1 x 100 micron/1 x 4 mils - minimum 80 micron/3.2 mils, maximum 150 micron/6 mils.
To achieve a correct film formation within these limits, it is recommended to apply two
coats "wet-in-almost-dry":
Apply one coat and apply the second coat within 15-30 minutes before the first coat has
turned grey but is still dark.
When following this procedure, HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 must be thinned

approximately 15% in order to avoid too high film thicknesses.
Too high film thicknesses on welds in corners must be smoothened by a flat brush,
approximately 1" wide.
When coating tanks, it is of the utmost importance to avoid dry-spray, which is a

typical indication of poor film formation.
Poor film formation of a one-coat tank coating system like HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700
may result in immediate failure.
Any dry-sprayed areas must be smoothened by scraping with a spatula (rounded

corners) or by light sandpapering or by using a cleaning sponge ("3M", "Scotch-brite"
type).
After vacuum cleaning as necessary, the smoothened areas are applied a thin coat of
HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 achieved by using 20-25% thinning.
Note: If working conditions ask for it some hours may elapse between the first and the
second coat provided that the relative humidity is kept constantly low, but it is
recommended to finalize the application as soon as possible and within the same
working shift.
Stripe coating: All places difficult to cover properly by spray application must be stripe coated with a
brush immediately before or after the spray application
Microclimate: The actual climatic conditions at the substrate during application and until acceptance:
The minimum surface temperature is -10°C/14°F.
The maximum recommended surface temperature is approx. 40°C/104°F. Higher steel

temperatures are acceptable provided dry-spray is avoided by (extra thinning and) proper
spray application. In extreme cases a reduction of the dry film thickness may also be
necessary. In a warm climate it is recommended to carry out application during
nighttime.
The steel temperature must be above the dewpoint. As a rule of thumb a steel
temperature which is 3°C/5°F above the dewpoint can be considered safe.


With temperatures at or below 0°C/32°F beware of ice on the surface, which will hinder
the adhesion, and use a capacitive RH-meter for measuring the relative humidity.
In confined spaces, supply an adequate amount of fresh air during application and drying
to assist the evaporation of solvent. All surfaces must be ventilated. However, avoid
ventilators blowing directly onto the freshly applied paint.
Drying and curing, Correct film formation depends on an adequate ventilation during drying.
ventilation:
One litre undiluted HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 gives off in total 160 litres solvent
vapour until it is completely dry.
Page
To reach a common safety requirement of 10% LEL, the thoretical ventilation

It is recommended to keep the relative humidity low during application and drying.
Thereafter, let the relative humidity raise by "natural means", i.e. the dehumidifiers are
notched off and normal ventilation used. However, it is recommended to let
dehumidifiers run until dry film thicknesses have been checked - and if needed - rectified
by an extra paint application.
Curing time: Curing is dependent on (steel) temperatures and relative humidities.
At 20°C/68°F and 65-75% RH, curing requires approximately 3 days. At lower

temperatures and relative humidity, curing time will increase considerably. Please
contact Hempel for further instructions.
The relative humidity should be minimum 65% - and the minimum temperature
-10°C/14°F - during the period of curing. Hosing down of tanks can support curing, but
should if possible await the state of "near to complete" curing - please see below.
The coating will resist light showers after 1-2 hours at 20°C/68°F and 75% relative
humidity. Curing may be promoted at low humidity by hosing down the surface with water
4 hours after application and keeping the surface constantly wet until curing is complete.
If salt water is used, rinse with fresh water if the surface is to be overcoated.
State of curing: Can be checked by rubbing the coating with a rag soaked in THINNER 08700. If the
coating remains unaffected, state of curing is sufficient for recoating with other paint
materials (when used as a cargo tank coating this state of curing may be described as
"near to complete").
Full curing for cargo loading:
Before tanks are taken into use, the coating must be completely through-cured. This
is secured by low pressure hosing/washing the tanks with (fresh) water 2-3 times
after the above described condition of "near to complete curing" has been obtained.
By using the tank washing equipment, the normal ½ hour cycle is applied with half a
day to one day between washings. Let the tanks remain wet between the washing.


Full curing is confirmed by rubbing the coating with methyl ethyl ketone.
The coating will now be fully resistant according to the CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE,
but as long as the porosities are not yet filled with zinc salts, absorption of cargoes
will take place, maybe making cleaning more difficult.
Curing may also be checked by scraping with e.g. a knife or a coin which shall produce a
bright mark leaving some loosened zinc dust but no irregular detachment.
Full hardness will be obtained after weathering for some time.
Recommended For long time protection, when topcoated with heavy-duty systems:
film thickness: 50 micron/2 mils dry; 75 micron/3 mils wet, (undiluted).
For long time protection, without topcoat:

Page
75-100 micron/3-4 mils dry; 125-150 micron/5-6 mils wet, (undiluted).
In tanks: 100 micron/4 mils dry; 150 micron/6 mils wet, (undiluted), may be specified.
For a tank coating specification the film thickness should be controlled according to the
80-20 rule, ie 80% of the dry film thickness measurements must be equal to or greater
than the specified film thickness (100 micron/4 mils) and of those below the specified
film thickness, no measurements must be lower than 80% of the 100 micron/4 mils.
For narrow frames, girders and similar areas not being very accessible the film thickness
could be controlled according to the 70-30 rule,
Too high dry film thickness, ie above approximately 150 micron/6 mils dry, should be
avoided due to the risk of mud cracking or peeling. Please observe that according to
accepted rules of measuring "a measurement" is to be the mean of three single point
measurements taken in a close vicinity.
Note: Special care is necessary to ensure proper film thickness on welding seams,
edges, corners, ribs, etc.
Extra coat (by itself): Too low film thickness can be made good by applying an extra coat of HEMPEL'S
GALVOSIL 15700. Surface preparation procedure - if necessary - and dilution of paint
according to page 4 "Application procedure, tank coating".
The maximum interval for applying an extra coat is 7 days provided that the relative
humidity is kept below 60%, absolute maximum is 65%, all the time until recoating and
that the painted surface is not exposed to open weather, contamination of the like.

Recoating interval HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 must be fully cured before recoating with a full paint
(other paints): system. By recoating with sealer in 25 micron/1 mil only, the interval can be reduced to
eg 24 hours at 20°C/68°F and 65-75% RH provided that the following coats are applied
after HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 is fully cured.
Topcoating procedure: Non-weathered zinc silicate coatings are porous and popping may occur in the
subsequent coat(s).


One way to reduce the risk of popping is to apply a mist coat as the first pass of the
subsequent coat, let the air escape, and then apply the remainder of the topcoat.
Some of HEMPEL's products will substantially reduce the risk of popping when applied
directly on top of the zinc silicate. See painting specification.
Advanced paint systems are recommended for topcoating, e.g. HEMPADUR qualities.
Surface cleaning: The cleaning before topcoating depends on the condition of the surface:
1. Intact zinc silicate surface with sporadic formation of “white rust” (zinc corrosion
products).
a. Remove oil, grease, dirt, etc. by detergent wash.

Page
b. Remove "white rust" by high pressure fresh water cleaning 200-350 bar
(2900-5000 psi) at a nozzle-to-surface distance of 15-20 cm (6-8").
If the surface is only slightly contaminated, corresponding to 1-2 months

of exposure in a mildly corrosive environment, hosing down of the surface
with fresh water and scrubbing with stiff brushes (nylon) may be sufficient
and more practical. Check that the coating is through dry before recoating.
2. Zinc silicate surface with extreme formation of “white rust” which cannot be
removed as described above.
b. Abrasive blast sweep to remove "white rust", followed by vacuum cleaning

to remove abrasives and dust.
c. Restore the zinc layer with any solvent borne GALVOSIL quality or zinc
epoxy (HEMPADUR ZINC).
3. Damaged areas, burns, weld spatters, etc.
b. Remove weld spatters.
c. Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½, followed by thorough removal of

abrasives and dust by vacuum cleaning.
d. Restore the zinc layer with any solvent borne GALVOSIL quality or zinc
epoxy (HEMPADUR ZINC).

Ballast tanks, steel work: For optimum performance the following is recommended:
system will be maintained in all respects. Holes in welding seams, undercuts, etc.
should be avoided. If found, they may necessitate extra stripe coating or filling (however,
the classification societies' recommendations are to be followed).
All sharp edges to be broken or rounded depending on the actual conditions and the
design lifetime. Laminations to be removed. However, rolled profiles, etc. from the steel
mills normally have acceptably rounded edges.
All loose weld spatters to be removed.
Well adhering, scattered weld spatters are acceptable, but will need additional touch-up.
If dense, they must be removed by grinding.
Requirements to the "surface quality" of welds according to WELD REPLICA NACE RP

0178 minimum Grade E (NACE Standard RP0178-95).
Abrasive blasting/ Before blasting any deposits of grease or oil must be removed from the steel surface
abrasive sweep blasting: with a suitable detergent followed by fresh water hosing. Minor spots of oil/grease may
be cleaned with thinner and clean rags - avoid smearing out the contamination. Possible
alkali weld deposits, chemicals used for testing of welds, soap residues from the
pressure testing must be removed by fresh water hosing.
Repair:
Before blasting, old steel surfaces must be checked for any contamination. Possible
blisters must be broken. If thick rust scale has been removed or deep pittings have
been encountered, control procedures for contamination must be carried out. If still
contaminated, the abrasive blast cleaned steel surface will need a repeated cleaning for
salts and/or oil/grease followed by final abrasive blast cleaning.
Newbuilding/new steelwork: To obtain full performance of the ballast tank coating,

welds, burns, damaged and rusty shopprimer must be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½.
Minor areas mechanically cleaned to St 3.
If welds have previously been coated with a (shop)primer just after welding this
(shop)primer must be removed by abrasive blasting (sweeping) in order to obtain
optimum performance.
Intact shopprimer:
Zinc salted surfaces, deposits of black iron oxides of plasma cutting and similar foreign
matters to be removed by light abrasive sweep blasting. Chalk markings and plate
marking of a non-compatible nature to be removed as well.
The shopprimer must have been checked randomly for excessive film thicknesses and
areas detected to have film thicknesses above approx 40 micron/1.6 mils (as measured
directly on the shopprimed surface with equipment calibrated on smooth steel) are to be
sweep blasted in order to remove most of the shopprimer.
Issued: September 2002 - page 1 of 5

Spot-checking for possible salt contamination of the surface to be executed before and
after abrasive sweep blasting.
When blasting, the importance of working systematically must be stressed. Poorly

blasted areas covered with dust are very difficult to locate during the blast inspection
made after the rough cleaning.
In the case of abrasive blast cleaning, the surface profile must be equivalent to
Rugotest No. 3, BN9-BN10 or Keane-Tator Comparator, 3.0 G/S. According to ISO
8503-1 the grade will be MEDIUM (G).
Note: If any doubt exists about the quality of the primary surface preparation (before
shoppriming), the substrate must be re-blasted in situ as defined above.
Block assembly zones: Overlap zones mustPage be treated with great care. Damage caused
by possible over-blasting must be avoided, paint edges must be feathered and

consecutive layers of paint coatings given greater and greater overlaps - old layers being
roughened corresponding to these overlaps (when sand papering, use free-cut paper,
grain size 80).
Furthermore, these areas may be either masked off with tape - to keep them as narrow
as possible - or left with a thin zinc epoxy primer coat applied on these areas after
secondary surface preparation at blockstage.
Secondary surface preparation of block assembly zones are preferably to be abrasive

spot-blasted. However, mechanical cleaning to St 3 may be acceptable if zones are
narrow and an extra coat of HEMPADUR 17630/17633 is applied to these areas. The
procedure of masking off with tape or using the zinc epoxy primer as described above
may advantageously be used in case of mec hanical cleaning.
Repair:
Corroded pits deeper than approx 2 mm, but not repaired by welding, are recommended
to be filled with HEMPADUR EPOXY FILLER 35250 after blast priming has been carried
out.
Stainless Steel: (Ballast tanks of chemical carriers) to be abrasive blast cleaned to a

uniform, sharp, dense, profile (Rugotest No. 3, BN9-10, ISO Comparator Medium (G),
Keane-Tator Comparator 2.0 G/S corresponding to Rz minimum 50 micron). Any salts,
grease, oil etc. to be removed before abrasive blasting is commenced.
Water jetting: This procedure will primarily be relevant for repair jobs. However, the very good removal
of water-soluble salts may also make it useful in other cases.
The resulting standard is to be equal to the WJ-2 (NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12 "Surface
Preparation and Cleaning of Steel and other Hard Materials by High and Ultra-High
Pressure Water Jetting prior to Recoating", 1995).
Sufficient dehumidification equipment must be used to dry out the tanks as quickly as
possible between the water jetting and the coating application.
Local ventilators may be required to distribute the drying air evenly in tanks. All "slurry"
is to be removed before it dries. New rust will be acceptable as discoloration only, not
as powdery, loose rust. Acceptable degree of "flash rust" is maximum FR-2 (HEMPEL
standard). Inhibitors are not to be used.
All surfaces must be free from contamination at the time of painting and the relative
humidity is to be below 85%.
Refurbishment: It is recommended to carry out rough abrasive blast cleaning - or water jetting - to
facilitate visual inspection and any necessary repair of the existing steel work. In the
case of pit-corroded tank bottoms this rough blasting will also provide a better basis for
a decision between welding of corroded pits or repair by filling.

A main concern is the contamination from sea water (water-soluble, corrosive salts). The
preventive method will be to include very thorough cleaning with plenty of fresh water,
please see below.
The maximum allowable concentration of chlorides on steel surfaces immediately

before application is 7.0 microgrammes/cm² as detected by the "Bresle Method".
In the case of contamination, cleaning procedures must be repeated and/or improved.

Especially pit-corroded steel will need special attention and the only possible way to
remove contamination from the pits may often be to carry out very thorough cleaning
with fresh water after abrasive blast cleaning. After repeated control and drying, the
entire surface will need abrasive blast cleaning to obtain the specified degree of
cleaning. Alternatively, the pit-corroded areas are cleaned by water jetting, any surplus of
water is mopped up or removed by vacuum cleaning, allow to dry.

Note: Actual type of steel work and surface preparation is dependent on factors such
a shipyard technology, contractual specification, required lifetime, etc. Reference is
also made to HEMPEL’s Technical Standard for Ballast Tank Coating Work.
Application equipment: HEMPADUR 17630/17633, being a high viscosity material, may require special
measures to be taken at application.
Recommended airless spray equipment:
Pump ratio: min 45:1

Pump output: 12 litres/minute (theoretical)
Input pressure: min. 6 bar/90 psi
Spray hoses: max. 100 metres/300 feet, ½” internal diameter
max. 30 metres/100 feet, 3/8" internal diameter
Filter: 60 mesh
Nozzle size: .021"-.025”

Fan angle: 60-80°.
To spray complicated surfaces s mallest nozzles should be used.
After finishing the application, clean the equipment immediately with HEMPEL’S TOOL
CLEANER 99610.
Note: Increasing hose diameter may ease paint flow thereby improving the spray fan. If
longer hoses are necessary it may be necessary to raise the pump ratio to 60:1,
maintaining the high output capacity of the pump.
Alternatively up to approximately 5% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must

be done with care as the maximum obtainable film thickness is reduced significantly by
overthinning.
Airless spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment.

Application: Film-build/continuity: With this ballast tank coating it is of special importance that a
continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of each spray applied coat.
An application technique which will ensure good film formation on all surfaces must be
adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and to have
a proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be aimed
at. Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of
stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas a stripe coat will usually be necessary. To obtain
good and steady atomi sing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and the spray
equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity. At high working
temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid dust-spray.
possible. The consumption of paint must be controlled to avoid exaggerated film
thickness, eg by controlling paint consumption
Page and/or measuring wet film thickness.
irregularities such as dust, dry spray, abrasives, should be remedied.
Stripe coating: may either be applied by airless spray, (relatively small, narrow-angled
nozzles) or by hand-tools. Apply the stripe coat as a uniform, regular film without
excessive brush or roller marks in order to avoid cratering by entrapped air.
Application on A proper mist-coat technique is necessary in order to avoid/reduce the risk of “popping”
zinc silicate: /”pinholes”. Add up to 50% thinner depending on the actual conditions of application.
Pot life/mixing/ When measured under standard conditions the pot life is 3 hours at 15°C/59°F and 2
induction time: hours at 20°C/68°F. However, for a 20 litres/5 US gallons mix, the heat developed by
(both curing agents): the chemical reaction between BASE and CURING AGENT may make the corresponding
practical pot life shorter.
a. Mix the entire content of corresponding base and curing agent packings. If it is
c. Use all mixed paint before the pot life is exceeded. The pot life depends on the

Pot life 3 hours 2 hours 1½ hours 1 hour

1) At 15°C/59°F and below, the viscosity can be too high for airless spray application.
2) Temperatures above 30°C/86°F should preferably be avoided.
Induction time:
At steel temperatures below 5°C/41°F the paint may advantageously be prereacted
10-20 minutes before spray application (longer pre -reaction time at lower temperatures).
When two-component spray equipment is used, heating may be relevant to obtain a

proper spray fan and a uniform and smooth paint film. This can either be done by
preheating the two-component paint or by using a flow-heater on the pressure side. As
an indication, a paint temperature of approx 40°C/104°F will be relevant, but has to be
adjusted according to the actual conditions.

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.

HEMPADUR®MULTI-STRENGTH®35530
BASE 35539 with CURING AGENT 95530
Scope: These Application Instructions cover surface preparation, application equipment, and
application details for HEMPADUR 35530.
Surface preparation: Steel:

Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½. Grit-blasted surfaces: recommended profile is Rz
minimum 100 micron/4 mils - maximum 150 micron/6 mils corresponding to ISO
Comparator Coarse (G). Oil and grease mustPage be removed with suitable detergent, salts
and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water hosing prior to blasting. After
blasting, clean the surface carefully from abrasives and dust. HEMPADUR 15590 may be
used as a blast primer/hold-coat.
On old steel surfaces having been exposed to salt water , excessive amounts of salt
residues in pittings may call for dry abrasive blasting, high pressure fresh water hosing,
drying, and finally, dry abrasive blasting again. Alternatively, water jetting may be used
provided the steel surface has already the surface profile as described above.
In case of extensively pit-corroded surfaces (tank bottoms): Remove oil and grease
with suitable detergent. Blasting to Sa 2, ISO 8501-1: 1988. Pittings on tank bottoms
are often omega-shaped (typically in the case of chloride-induced corrosion) for which
reason the following procedure is recommended:
After rough cleaning for dust and abrasives, the tank surfaces are to be thoroughly high
pressure fresh water hosed. Let the water remain in the tank so that all pit corroded
areas are covered by approx 5 cm/2" of water.
After 24 hours the water is removed by wet vacuum cleaning and the tank is dried.
If needed, i.e. if there is still salt contamination to be found in the pits, the washing
treatment has to be repeated. After cleaning, the surfaces are blasted to min. Sa 2½
with a surface roughness profile as described above. After blasting clean the surface
carefully for abrasives and dust. Special care must be taken when cleaning the tank
bottom.
Concrete: The concrete must be of good quality and fully cured, eg 28 days for normal
Portland cement, and completely dry with a humidity content in the surface below 4%.
The concrete must also be controlled for absence of capillary water action or for subsoil
water.
Minimum pull-off value should normally be 20 kilopond/cm² measured after surface

preparation. Any cracks, crevices and voids must be repaired.
All possible slip agent, oil, grease and other contaminants must be removed by eg
abrasive blasting, volatilizing by flame cleaning or treatment with suitable detergent. The
last mentioned in the following way: Saturation of the surface with fresh water. Washing
with suitable detergent followed by fresh water hosing.
Depending on construction and purpose, abrasive blast, high pressure water jet or treat
the concrete with power tools to obtain a rough and firm surface free of scum layer and
other contamination. Remove dust and loose material.
If mechanical treatment is impossible, the surface may be treated with acid etching. For
this purpose an approx. 5% w/w nitric or phosphoric acid solution is recommended.
Note: Strong acids, take necessary precautions, make sure that safety regulations are
obeyed!
Issued: March 2003

Prior to etching the concrete should be saturated with fresh water to prevent acid
corrosion of the reinforcement bars. Leave the acid to act for 3-4 minutes and hose
down the surface with fresh water - preferably first a 5% w/w sodium hydroxide solution
- and scrub carefully. After that the surface must dry homogenously and appear as an
even, rough surface free of a loose outer layer. The surface must have a pH reaction of
between 6.5-8.0. If any of these conditions are not fulfilled, the process must be
repeated. The surface must be dried with good ventilation for at least 2 days at 65%
relative humidity and 20°C/68°F. The pretreatment is controlled by scraping with a
strong knife. The surface must feel solid and hard, and the knife must only leave a clear
scratch mark.
Seal the surface with HEMPADUR SEALER 05990 in such a way that the surface is just
saturated. Surplus must be removed (do also see the Product Data sheet for
HEMPADUR SEALER 05990). Page
Application equipment: HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 35530, being a solventfree, high viscosity material,
requires special measures to be taken at application.
Standard airless heavy duty spray equipment:
Pump ratio: min 45:1 (See Note below)

Input pressure: min 6 bar/90 psi
Spray hoses: max 15 metres/50 feet, 3/8" internal diameter
max 3 metres/10 feet, 1/4" internal diameter
Regular surfaces:
Nozzle size: .023" through .031"
Fan angle: 40-60°.
Complicated surfaces:
Fan angle: 40°
Note: Avoid the use of a suction hose. Use an interchangeable pipe, which makes it
possible to remove cured paint If longer spray hoses are necessary the pump ratio must
be raised to 60:1 or more, yet the high output capacity of the pump must be maintained.
Thinning: Alternatively 1-2% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must be done with care
as the antisagging properties are drastically reduced by overthinning. Do NOT use
thinning when coating surfaces to be in contact with potable water.
Mixing: Stir the CURING AGENT 95530 well before mixing with BASE. Continue the mixing until a
complete uniform colour is achieved.
Hot airless spray equipment:
Use the same airless spray pump as described above.
On the output side of the pump an electrically heated, explosion proof, high pressure,
material heater is fitted. For instance 2500 Watt, max. working pressure well above 300
bar (4-1 safety factor) equipment.
Spray hoses: 45 metres/150 feet, 3/8" internal diameter.

3 metres/10 feet, 1/4" internal diameter.
Regular surfaces:
Fan angle: 40-60°
Nozzle size: .019" through .023".
Fan angle: 40°.
Issued: March 2003

Procedure for hot airless spray:
a) Follow the supplier’s instructions for the use of the heater.
b) At surrounding temperatures below approximately 15°C/59°F start by heating up

the hoses by recirculation of THINNER 08450 or HEMPEL’S TOOL CLEANER
99610.
c) Keep THINNER 08450 or HEMPEL'S TOOL CLEANER 99610 readily available for
fast cleaning of the equipment.
d) Start spraying immediately after proper mixing and mechanical stirring of BASE
35539 and CURING AGENT 95530. Page
e) Adjust the heater to approximately 50°C/122°F and check this temperature at

short intervals.
f) The spraying should as far as possible run continuously. At any break longer than
2-3 minutes, switch off the heat and flush the equipment immediately and
thoroughly with one of the solvents mentioned above under c).
g) After finishing the application, switch off the heat and clean the equipment
immediately with THINNER 08450 or HEMPEL'S TOOL CLEANER 99610.
Continue the cleaning by re-circulation for at least 30 minutes.
Pit-corroded surfaces: In case of extensive pit corrosion (old tank bottoms) it is

advisable to apply the first coat by brush. The coating must be worked well into all pits
facilitating a good wetting of the steel and closing the porosities. The following coat(s)
can be applied by brush as well as by airless spray (as per above) securing full covering
of the uneven/rough surface.
Pot life: When measured under standard conditions the pot life is one hour at 20°C/68°F.
However, for a 20 litres/5 US gallons mix, the heat developed by the chemical reaction
between BASE and CURING AGENT is so intense that the corresponding practical pot life
is substantially shorter .
Therefore:
• Irrespective of equipment, use the paint immediately after mixing. At a normal

application speed the 20 litres/5 US gallons are used in approx. 10 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the paint temperature frequently for instance by touching the can
with your hand. If it feels more than hand warm, discard the paint and flush the
equipment immediately irrespective of type of spray equipment.
Paint temperature : If the in-can temperature is below approximately 15°C/59°F viscosity will be too high for
application. If the paint temperature at mixing is 25°C/77°F or higher a substantial risk
of shortened pot life and curing in can/spray equipment exists. When working in warm,
sub-tropical/ tropical climates a refrigerated container can be used for storing/
cooling of the paint before application.
Application: Film-build/continuity: With this typical one-coat tank coating it is of great importance
that a continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained. An application technique which will
ensure good film formation on all surfaces must be adopted. It is very important to use
nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and to have a proper, uniform distance of the
spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be aimed at. Furthermore, great care must be
taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners etc. The usual way of obtaining
this result is to spray-coat all these areas separately followed by a full coat all over.
Furthermore, stripe coating by brush will typically be required. To obtain good and steady
atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and the spray equipment must be
sufficient in output pressure and capacity.

possible. The consumption of paint must be controlled to avoid exaggerated film
thickness, eg by controlling paint consumption and/or measuring wet film thickness.
Stripe coating: Edges, corners, manual welds, and places difficult to cover properly by spray application
should be stripe coated (touched up) either before or after the spray application.
One or two stripe coats will usually be necessary, but depending on actual conditions.
HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENTGH 35530 may be slightly thinned with THINNER 08450,

except for stripe coating of surfaces to be

in contact with potable water.
Extra film thickness: Extra thickness - extra layer(s) - may be necessary in case of severely pitted and/or
where very high degrees of antiabrasive properties are needed.
Two- coat application : When applied in two coats it is an advantage to apply the first coat thicker than the
second coat, for instance 300 micron for first, 200 micron for the second layer.
Recoating intervals: Within a maximum of 85% Relative Humidity the following recoating
intervals apply (d=days h=hours):
Steel temperature °C/°F 10/50 15/59 20/68 25/77 30/86 35/95 40/104

Time before taking Tanks or pipelines should generally not be taken into use before HEMPADUR
into use: MULTI-STRENGTH 35530 is fully cured (see above).
Full curing is mandatory in case of potable water service.
Exposure to ballast water and crude oil may exceptionally take place after an "initial
curing" time as listed above.
Water resistance: HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 35530 is resistant to light showers and condensation
after an initial curing time as listed:
Steel temperature 10°C/50°F 15°C/59°F 20°C/68°F 25°C/77°F 30°C/86°F

Minimum time 60 hours 32 hours 24 hours 20 hours 15 hours
Note: HEMPADUR 35530 must not be exposed to water or high humidity between
stripe coating and full coating respectively between full coating and any necessary
second full coating as there is a certain risk of curing agent exudation which will hinder
adhesion. If exudation is present on the surface this must be removed by very thorough
cleaning. Cleaning should be carried out by hand-warm fresh water washing at a
pressure of approx 60 bar. Such cleaning must not take place before the minimum
curing time for obtaining water resistance as listed above has elapsed. Contact the
nearest Hempel office for further details.
Issued: March 2003

Ventilation during Ventilation is not required for drying/curing of the coating, but some ventilation is
application: recommended in order to remove eg spraydust from application.
Minimum out-docking When the painted surface will be exposed to abrasion shortly after out-docking, the
interval of ships: recommended minimum drying/curing time before out-docking is:
Steel temperature °C/°F 10/50 15/59 20/68 25/77 30/86 (35/95) (40/104)
Minimum days 12½ 8 5 3½ 2½ (2) (1½)
When out-docking takes place into water with a temperature at or above 10°C/50°F, and
sufficient time afterwards is allowed for full cure before the coating is exposed to
abrasion, the recommended minimum time before out-docking is:
Steel temperature °C/°F 10/50 Page

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.
Remarks: Stripe coating is recommended in tanks.
In case of deep pittings higher film thickness is recommended on areas with pittings.
Post treatment of coated After complete curing, i.e. minimum 7 days at 20°C/68°F, and before being taken
surfaces to be in contact into use, the surfaces must be cleaned properly. This will be subject to local/individual
with potable water: specification or regulation but at least for tanks a careful hosing down with clean fresh
water (max. 40°C/104°F if warm water is used) and/or - if possible - by filling with water
allowed to stand for at least 24 hours. Drain and repeat the procedure, and finally flush
with clean fresh water. Desinfication by for instance chlorination can be very aggressive
towards the coating and separate instructions are available.

application details for HEMPADUR 45141/45143.
Surface preparation: General: In order to obtain best performance, abrasive blast cleaning is recommended.
However, HEMPADUR 45141/45143 may Pagebe applied on rusty steel surfaces where
higher performance is needed than obtainable with conventional coatings but where
mechanical cleaning and dust removal can only be carried out (beside the removal of
salts and of oily contaminants).
Remove oil and grease with suitable detergent, salt and other contaminants by (high
pressure) fresh water cleaning.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE:
Spot-repairs:
Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to St 3 or by abrasive blasting
to minimum Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface preparation will improve the
performance of HEMPADUR 45141/45143. As an alternative to dry cleaning, water
jetting to sound, well adhering coat and/or to steel. Intact coat must appear with
roughened surface after the water jetting. By water jetting to steel, cleanliness shall be
WJ-3 to WJ-2 (atmospheric exposure) / minimum WJ-2 (immersion) (NACE No.
5/SSPC-SP 12). A flash-rust degree of maximum FR-2 (atmospheric exposure) / FR-2,
preferably FR-1 (immersion) (Hempel standard) is acceptable before application. Feather
edges to sound and intact areas. Brush off loose material. Touch up to full film
thickness.
Compatibility: HEMPADUR 45141/45143 may be used in connection with other generic

paint systems than epoxy and polyurethanes.
In any case it is a must that the old paint system is tightly adhering and is properly
prepared before the touch-up is performed. It is recommended to make a test patch.
Full coating:
Compatibility with old system: HEMPADUR 45141/45143 may exceptionally be applied

directly on top of an old alkyd paint system provided this is tightly adhering. It is
furthermore preferable that the old system is less than approximately 500 micron in film
thickness. A test patch should always be performed before fullcoating is decided. Even
old chlorinated rubber and vinyl systems may be overcoated but with an inherent risk of
later tendency to "liftings" along mechanical damage and similar weaknesses.
Removal of old system: Full coating after mechanical removal of an old paint system is
possible too. Yet, it must be considered that mechanical cleaning may produce a very
smooth surface giving reason to reduced adhesive forces.
Note: Another risk is left over of a hard black rustscale being cleaned to an apparent
brightness without showing any adhesive defects. Yet, the exposure to open air during
cleaning may have started a continuous oxidation of the hard black rust making it
mechanically weak and of poor adhesion to the underlying steel surface. Later, during
service, the scale plus overlaying paintmaterial may flake off.
When used for immersion service:

1. Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½. After abrasive blasting, clean the surface carefully from
abrasives and dust. For temporary protection, if required, use suitable shopprimer.
All damage to shopprimer and contamination from storage and fabrication should be
thoroughly cleaned prior to final painting.

Stainless steel: (Ballast tanks in chemical carriers) to be abrasive blasted to a

uniform, sharp, dense profile, ISO Comparator Medium (G), corresponding to Rz
minimum 50 micron. Any salts, grease, oil, etc. to be removed before abrasive
blasting is commenced.
2. If the HEMPADUR 45141/45143 will form an integral part of heavy duty systems
(impact and antiabrasion purposes) best performance will be obtained by applying it
directly to the blast-cleaned steel, subsidiary using HEMPADUR 15590 as "blast
primer".
Note: On old steel surfaces having been exposed to salt water, excessive amounts of
salt residues in pittings may call for high pressure water jetting, wet abrasive blasting,
alternatively dry abrasive blasting, high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally,
dry abrasive blasting again.

Application equipment: HEMPADUR 45141/45143 being a high viscosity material, may require special
measures to be taken at application.

Spray hoses: max 100 metres/300 feet, ½” internal diameter
Filter: 60 mesh
Regular surfaces:
Nozzle size: .021"-.023"
Fan angle: 60-80°.
Complicated surfaces (and touch up):

Nozzle size: .019"

Note: Increasing hose diameter may increase paint flow, thereby improving the spray
fan. If longer hoses are necessary it may be necessary to raise the pump ratio to 60:1,

overthinning.
Application: Film-build/continuity: With this paintmaterial applied in one/few coat(s) it is of special

importance that a continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of each
coat. An application technique which will ensure good film formation on all surfaces
must be adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and
to have a proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be
aimed at. Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of
stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas a stripecoat will usually be necessary. To obtain
good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and the spray
equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity. At high working
temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid dust-spray.
possible. Avoid exaggerated film thickness due to the risk of sagging, cracks and solvent
retention. The paint consumption must be controlled.
Issued: March 2002

On poorly prepared surfaces it is always recommended to apply first coat by brush.

Extra thinning will facilitate the penetration of the paint material but will also require an
extra layer to be applied.
Wet/dry film thickness: The thixotropic nature of HEMPADUR 45141/45143 may give a rather "wavy"surface of
the paint just after application. This smoothens at drying but can make it necessary to
let the wet film readings be of a higher value than indicated. In many cases, the wet film
thickness reading should be 25-50 micron/1-2 mils higher than calculated. As the wavy
surface becomes more smooth at drying this extra wet film thickness readings will not
cause a higher paint consumption than otherwise stipulated.

Pot life: When measured under standard conditions the pot life is 2 hours at 15°C/59°F when
using CURING AGENT 97430. However, for a 20 litres/5 US gallons mix, the heat
developed by the chemical reaction between BASE and CURING AGENT may make the
corresponding practical pot life shorter.
At these temperatures therefore: Irrespective of equipment, use the paint immediately

after mixing. (At a normal application speed the 20 litres/5 US gallons are used in
approx. 10 minutes.) Anyhow, at paint temperatures, as an exception, being lower than
15°C/59°F allow the mixture to pre-react approximately 30 minutes before use. After
this induction time, apply the paint immediately.

Medium to high temperatures: 45751: BASE 45755 with CURING AGENT 97652
application details for HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751/45753.
Surface preparation: The specific type and degree of surface preparation depends on type and condition of
the actual substrate and on desired performance.
Page The better the surface preparation the
better the performance, but it will not always be economic feasible to go for the highest
degree within a given type of surface preparation.
For use as a heavy duty coating:

Bulk cargoholds, fender areas, hulls of ice -going vessels, ramps, splash zones etc.:
New steel:
Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½. Grit-blasted surfaces: Recommended profile is Rz
minimum 100 micron/4 mils - maximum 150 micron/6 mils corresponding to ISO
Comparator Coarse (G). Oil and grease must be removed with suitable detergent, salts
and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water hosing prior to blasting. After
blasting, clean the surface carefully from abrasive and dust. HEMPADUR 15590 may be
used as a blast primer/hold-coat (min. temperature 10°C/50°F) or alternatively
HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751 or HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45753 (for
temperatures below 10°C/50°F) diluted 15-25% with HEMPEL’S THINNER 08450.
Old steel:
For old steel with widespread surface corrosion, often in the state of large areas of fine,
dense pit-corrosion - like Grade D, ISO 8501-1:1988 - an overall degree of cleaning
corresponding to Sa2 can be the economical optimum treatment of surfaces exposed to
combined mechanical abrasion/impact and atmospheric corrosion in marine
environments. May advantageously be combined with a thorough fresh water hosing - or
replaced by a water jetting - (degree WJ-2 according to NACE No.5/SSPC-SP 12) as long
as the formation of flash rust is low, (maximum degree FR2 as per internal HEMPEL
standard).
The fresh water cleaning will assist in removal of salt residues, yet total removal of salts
embedded in the pittings will in practise, on large areas, be extremely difficult
irrespective of method of cleaning.
In cases where elimination of risk of osmotic blistering is important, for instance

frequently/permanently immersed surfaces or fresh water exposure a combined dry
abrasive blasting, to remove “black scale” and water jetting ( minimum WJ-2) may be
relevant (possible formation of flash rust to be maximum, FR1).
After water jetting as surface preparation it is recommended to apply a diluted

HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751/45753 (15-25% THINNER 08450) as an (extra)
first coat. Surfaces to be dry at application.
Concrete: The concrete must be of good quality and fully cured, eg 28 days for normal
Portland cement, and completely dry with a humidity content in the surface below 4%.
The concrete must also be controlled for absence of capillary water action or for subsoil
water.
Minimum pull-off value should normally be 20 kilopond/cm² measured after surface

preparation. Any cracks, crevices and voids must be repaired (see below).
All possible slip agent, oil, grease and other contaminants must be removed by eg
abrasive blasting, volatilising by flame cleaning or treatment with suitable detergent.
The last mentioned in the following way: Saturation of the surface with fresh water.
Washing with suitable detergent followed by fresh water hosing.
Issued: March 2003


Depending on construction and purpose, abrasive blast, high pressure water jet or treat
the concrete with power tools to obtain a rough and firm surface free of scum layer and
other contamination and possible old paint/lining . Remove dust and loose material.
If mechanical treatment is impossible, the surface of new concrete may be treated with
acid etching. For this purpose an approx. 5% w/w nitric or phosphoric acid solution is
recommended.
Note: Strong acids, take necessary precautions, make sure that safety regulations are
obeyed!
Prior to etching the concrete should be saturated with fresh water to prevent acid
corrosion of the reinforcement bars. Leave the acid to act for 3-4 minutes and hose
down the surface with fresh water - preferably first a 5% w/w sodium hydroxide solution
- and scrub carefully. After that the surface
Page must dry homogeneously and appear as an
even, rough surface free of a loose outer layer. The surface must have a pH reaction of
between 6.5-8.0. If any of these conditions are not fulfilled, the process must be
repeated. The surface must be dried with good ventilation for at least 2 days at 65%
relative humidity and 20°C/68°F. The pre-treatment is controlled by scraping with a
strong knife. The surface must feel solid and hard, and the knife must only leave a clear
scratch mark.
Cracks, voids and crevices must be opened and made good down to firm and hard
material. After sealing - as described below - fill these openings with a suitable epoxy
mortar.
Seal the surface with HEMPADUR SEALER 05990 in such a way that the surface is just
saturated. Surplus must be removed (do also see the Product Data sheet for HEMPADUR
SEALER 05990).
For use as a ballast tank coating:

Ballast tanks, steel work: For optimum performance the following is recommended:
system will be maintained in all respects. Holes in welding seams, undercuts, etc.
should be avoided. If found, they may necessitate extra stripe coating or filling (however,
the classification societies' recommendations are to be followed).
All sharp edges to be broken or rounded depending on the actual conditions and the
design lifetime. Laminations to be removed. However, rolled profiles, etc. from the steel
mills normally have acceptably rounded edges.
All loose weld spatters to be removed.
Well adhering, scattered weld spatters are acceptable, but will need additional touch-up.
If dense, they must be removed by grinding.
Requirements to the "surface quality" of welds according to WELD REPLICA NACE RP

0178 minimum Grade E (NACE Standard RP0178-95).
Ballast tanks, Before blasting any deposits of grease or oil must be removed from the steel surface
surface preparation: with a suitable detergent followed by fresh water hosing. Minor spots of oil/grease may
be cleaned with thinner and clean rags - avoid smearing out the contamination. Possible
alkali weld deposits, chemicals used for testing of welds, soap residues from the
pressure testing must be removed by fresh water hosing.
Newbuilding/new steelwork: To obtain full performance of the ballast tank coating,

welds, burns, damaged and rusty shopprimer must be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½.
Minor areas mechanically cleaned to St 3.
If welds have previously been coated with a (shop)primer just after welding this
(shop)primer must be removed by abrasive blasting (sweeping) in order to obtain
optimum performance.
Issued: March 2003


Intact shopprimer:
Zinc salted surfaces, deposits of black iron oxides of plasma cutting and similar foreign
matters to be removed by light abrasive sweep blasting. Chalk markings and plate
marking of a non-compatible nature to be removed as well.
The shopprimer must have been checked randomly for excessive film thicknesses and
areas detected to have film thicknesses above approx 40 micron/1.6 mils (as measured
directly on the shopprimed surface with equipment calibrated on smooth steel) are to be
sweep blasted in order to remove most of the shopprimer.
Spot-checking for possible salt contamination of the surface to be executed before and
after abrasive sweep blasting.
When blasting, the importance of working systematically must be stressed. Poorly

blasted areas covered with dust are veryPage
difficult to locate during the blast inspection
made after the rough cleaning.
The surface profile to be equivalent to Rugotest No. 3, BN9-BN10 or Keane-Tator

Comparator, 3.0 G/S. According to ISO 8503-1 the grade will be MEDIUM (G).
Note: If any doubt exists about the quality of the primary surface preparation (before
shoppriming), the substrate must be re-blasted in situ as defined above.
Block assembly zones: Overlap zones must be treated with great care. Damage caused
by possible over-blasting must be avoided, paint edges must be feathered and
consecutive layers of paint coatings given greater and greater overlaps - old layers being
roughened corresponding to these overlaps (when sandpapering, use free-cut paper,
grain size 80).
Furthermore, these areas may be either masked off with tape - to keep them as narrow
as possible - or left with a thin zinc epoxy primer coat applied on these areas after
secondary surface preparation at blockstage.
Secondary surface preparation of block assembly zones are preferably to be abrasive

spot-blasted. However, mechanical cleaning to St 3 may be acceptable if zones are
narrow and an extra coat of HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751/45753 diluted
approx. 10-15% is applied to these areas as the first coat. The procedure of masking
off with tape or using the zinc epoxy primer as described above may advantageously be
used in case of mechanical cleaning.
Stainless Steel: (Ballast tanks of chemical carriers) to be abrasive blast cleaned to a

uniform, sharp, dense, profile (Rugotest No. 3, BN9, ISO Comparator Medium (G),
Keane-Tator Comparator 2.0 G/S corresponding to Rz minimum 50 micron). Any salts,
grease, oil etc. to be removed before abrasive blasting is commenced.
Refurbishment: It is recommended to carry out rough abrasive blast cleaning - or water jetting - to
facilitate visual inspection and any necessary repair of the existing steel work. In the
case of pit-corroded tank bottoms this rough blasting will also provide a better basis for
a decision between welding of corroded pits or repair by filling.
Corroded pits deeper than approx. 2 mm, but not repaired by welding, are recommended
to be filled with HEMPADUR EPOXY FILLER 35250 after blast priming has been carried
out.
At refurbishment, a main concern is the contamination from sea water (water-soluble,

corrosive salts). The preventive method will be to include very thorough cleaning with
plenty of fresh water, please see below.
The maximum allowable concentration of chlorides on steel surfaces immediately

before application is 7.0 microgrammes/cm² as detected by the "Bresle Method".
In the case of contamination, cleaning procedures must be repeated and/or improved.

Especially pit-corroded steel will need special attention and the only possible way to
Issued: March 2003


remove contamination from the pits may often be to carry out very thorough cleaning
with fresh water after abrasive blast cleaning. After repeated control and drying, the
entire surface will need abrasive blast cleaning to obtain the specified degree of
cleaning. Alternatively, the pit-corroded areas are cleaned by water jetting, any surplus of
water is mopped up or removed by vacuum cleaning, allow to dry.
Note: Actual type of steel work and surface preparation is dependent on factors such
a shipyard technology, contractual specification, required lifetime, etc. Reference is
also made to HEMPEL’s Technical Standard for Ballast Tank Coating Work.
Application equipment: HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751/45753, being a high viscosity material, may
require special measures to be taken at application.

selfpriming coat, surface preparation according to specification.
When applied to GALVOSILS:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 can be applied when the GALVOSIL is cured. Consult
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS for the relevant GALVOSIL. Remove oil and grease etc. with
suitable detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water
cleaning. After exposure to high humidity, zinc salts, "white rust", must be removed
carefully by high pressure fresh water cleaning, if necessary combined with scrubbing
with stiff nylon brushes.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE :
Spot-repairs:
Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to minimum St 2 (spot-repairs)

or by abrasive blasting to minimum Sa 2, preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface
preparation will improve the performance of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an
alternative, water jetting to minimum WJ-2 (NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP12)(or according to
spedification) may be used. A flash-rust degree of maximum FR-2 (Hempel standard) is
acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact areas. Brush off loose
material. Touch up to full film thickness.
Compatibility: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 may be used in connection with other

generic paint systems than epoxy and polyurethanes.
It is recommended to make a test patch. In any case it is a must that the old paint
system is tightly adhering and is properly prepared before the touch-up is performed.
Full coating:
Compatibility with old system: In general full compatibility can be expected with old
epoxy systems. A test patch should always be performed before fullcoating is decided. If
the old epoxy is not weathered/chalked or if it is topcoated with polyurethane, it is
recommended to roughen the surface before recoating. Furthermore, very thorough
cleaning is a must. Any dirt, chalked surface material, oil and grease should be removed
with suitable detergent followed by high pressure fresh water hosing of the entire
surface.
Removal of old system: Full coating after complete mechanical removal of an old paint
system is possible too. Yet, it must be considered that mechanical cleaning by disc
grinding or by rotating wire brushing may produce a very smooth surface which reduce
the adhesive forces of the primer coat.
Issued: August 2002

Note: Another risk is remains of a hard black rustscale being cleaned to an apparent
brightness without showing any adhesive defects. Yet, the exposure to open air during
cleaning may have started a further oxidation of the hard black rust making it
mechanically weak and of poor adhesion to the underlying steel surface. Later, during
service, the scale plus overlaying paintmaterial may flake off.
When used for immersion service, repair:

Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other
contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Clean damaged areas thoroughly
by power tool cleaning to St 3 (minor areas) or by abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2,
preferably Sa 2½. Improved surface preparation will improve the performance of
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an alternative to dry cleaning, water jetting to
minimum WJ-2 (NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12), may be used. A flash rust degree of FR-2 ,
preferably FR-1 (HEMPEL standard) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to
Page
sound intact areas. Dust off residues. Touch up to full film thickness
Note: On old steel surfaces having been exposed to s alty water, excessive amounts of
salt residues in pittings may call for high pressure water jetting, wet abrasive blasting,
alternatively dry abrasive blasting, high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally,
dry abrasive blasting again.
Application equipment: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 being a high solids and a relatively high viscosity
material, may require special measures to be taken at application.
Pump ratio: min. 45:1


Regular surfaces: Complicated surfaces (and touch up):

Nozzle size:.021" through .023" Nozzle size: .017" through .021"
Fan angle: 60°. Fan angle: 40°.
After finishing the application, clean the equipment immediately with THINNER 08450 or
HEMPEL’S TOOL CLEANER 99610.
Note: Increasing hose diameter may increase paint flow, thereby improving the spray
Alternatively up to approx. 5% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must be

done with care as the anti-sagging properties are drastically reduced by overthinning.
Induction time: Should the paint temperature as an exception be 15°C/59°F or below, it is an

advantage to allow the two components to prereact before application. This is especially
relevant in the case of substrate temperatures also being below 15°C/59°F.
In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 15°C/59°F, an induction time of 15

minutes is recommended. In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 10°C/50°F, an
induction time of 25 minutes is recommended. In order to obtain proper application
properties, the paint temperature should preferably never be below 10°C/50°F. Yet for
substrate temperatures below 10°C/50°F an induction time of 30 minutes is
recommended.
Spray application: Film-build/continuity: With this paintmaterial applied in one/few coat(s) it is of special
importance that a continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of each
coat. An application technique which will ensure good film formation on all surfaces
must be adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and
to have a proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be
aimed at. Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of
stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas application of a stripecoat will therefore be good
painting practice. To obtain good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must
be suitable and the spray equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity.
At high working temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid
dust-spray.
possible. Avoid exaggerated film thickness due to the risk of sagging, cracks and solvent
retention. The paint consumption must be controlled.
Brush and roller application : At application with hand tools, brush, but especially by roller the natural tendency to a
more uneven paint film obtained by these methods, is to be counteracted by more coats
applied. If at all possible each coat is to be applied across the preceding one - in
general follow good painting practise. Page
On poorly prepared surfaces it is always recommended to apply the first coat by brush.
Extra thinning will facilitate the penetration of the paint material, but will also require an
extra layer to be applied.
Wet/dry film thickness: Please note that the thixotropic nature of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 may give a
rather "wavy" surface of the paint just after application. This smoothens at drying, but
can make it necessary to let the wet film readings be of a higher value than indicated. In
many cases the wet film thickness, reading should be 25-50 micron/1-2 mils higher
than calculated. As the wavy surface becomes more smooth during drying these extra
wet film thickness readings will not cause a higher paint consumption than otherwise
stipulated.
Film thickness/thinning: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 is normally specified in 125-200 micron/5-8 mils.
Depending on ambient conditions, usually maximum 5% thinning with THINNER 08450 is
relevant, however, increasing at high temperatures to ensure proper film formation and
avoid dust spray. May be specified down to 75 micron/3 mils. To obtain optimum film
formation in film thicknesses lower than 125 micron/5 mils dry film thickness a dditional
thinning with 5-10% THINNER 08450 is recommended.
Pot life: When measured under standard conditions the pot life is 1 hour at 20°C/68°F for
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 respectively 1½ hours at 30°C/86°F for HEMPADUR MASTIC
45881. However, for a 20 litres/5 US gallons mix, and used under warm climate
conditions, the heat developed by the chemical reaction between BASE and CURING
AGENT may make the corresponding practical pot life shorter.
Therefore: At high temperatures, use the paint immediately after mixing irrespective of
equipment.

* Notes on extended recoating Intervals with HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE qualities

Extended recoating intervals can be utili sed when the following is stri ctly observed:
The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned from all sorts of contaminants including
invisible deposits of water soluble salts, oil, grease and similar harmful chemical
substances.
Surfaces having any degraded layer from exposure to UV radiation, heat etc. must
have this layer removed by mechanical cleaning methods like, water jetting, abrading
or sweep blasting.
The existing coating system must in all respects be sound and applied according to
Page
Product Data Sheets, Application Instruction s and Specification,
It should be recognised that the optimal intercoat adhesion is best ensured by observing
the interval between the stated minimum and “Cured T ime”. Utilising extended recoating
intervals it should further be understood that by chemical nature the intercoat adhesion
between HEMPADUR qualities are better than between HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE
qualities. To determine whether the quality of the surface cleaning is adequate, a test
patch may be relevant. However, such a test is not the final proof of long-term durability,
but if the result is doubtful, repeated cleaning will be relevant. A more safe solution
could be to refresh the surface with a new thin (diluted) coat of HEMPADUR MASTIC
45880/45881.

Control for absence of contamination according to separate guidelines.
Old steel: Even after a very thorough cleaning, pits may typically contain contamination
in the form of remnants of chemicals/water soluble salts. For this reason, repeated
detergent washing plus abrasive blasting may be necessary. After the first blasting, a
very thorough vacuum cleaning is carried out in order to see if any "chemical bleeding"
occurs as well as controls for water soluble salts (reference is made to separate
instructions) are made. Special care should be taken in evaluating pitted areas - ask for
special guidelines.
For optimum performance, gritblast to very near white metal, Sa 2½-3, ISO
8501-1:1988. In practice this requirement is to be understood as white metal Sa 3 at
the moment of abrasive blasting, but allows a slight reduction at the moment of paint
application.

possible.
However, if the steel is shopprimed with zinc, it is very important that all zinc is removed
by abrasive blast cleaning. Separate check procedures will be necessary to demonstrate
the effectiveness of removal. More blast cleaning may be deemed necessary! Use of a
red zinc shopprimer will facilitate the visual check of the blast cleaning and is
considered necessary in order to obtain an acceptable surface preparation.

Application procedure: The first full coat is usually applied immediately after vacuum cleaning. First stripe coat
to follow afterwards.
Film-build/continuity: With this tank coating intended for aggressive service, it is of

special importance that a continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of
each coat. An application technique which will ensure good film formation and no
dry-spray on all surfaces must be adopted.
It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, ie not too big. Select small nozzles
for spray application of complicated structures, while bigger nozzles may be used for
regular surfaces.
A proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm, should be aimed
at. To obtain good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must be suitable and
the spray equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and capacity. At high working
temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid d ry-spray.
Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners
etc. Thus, on these areas a stripecoat will usually be necessary.
Note: In case of old, pit corroded steel, application of a diluted, extra first coat is
relevant to dilute 5-10%. Application by brush is recommended and film thickness so low
that the surface is "saturated" only.
brushing immediately before the spray application. First stripe coat is applied after the
first full coat and second stripe coat after second full coat.
The second stripe coat with brush can be replaced with spray application with a small
narrow nozzle, but still air slots and similar and possible undercuts (welds) and the like
will require brush application.
Film thicknesses: The final dry film thickness of the three coat system must be between 300-600 micron
(max. 450 micron below 15°C)/12-24 mils (max. 18 mils below 59°F).
Corresponding to 100 micron/4 mils dry film thickness, the wet film thickness must be
150-175 micron/6-7 mils and must be measured regularly.
Normally up to 200 micron/8 mils per coat may be accepted for 100 micron/4 mils
specifications, but at temperatures below 15°C/59°F, it is important not to exceed a
dry film thickness of 150 micron/6 mils in any area .

Microclimate: The actual climate conditions at the substrate during application:
The minimum surface temperature until full cure is 10°C/50°F.
To ensure an all-over steel temperature of minimum 10°C/50°F, special attention should

be paid to possible "cold bridges" eg stiffeners on deck.
In case of steel temperatures lower than 10°C/50°F there is a severe risk of incomplete
curing, resulting in a too open film with reduced chemical resistance.
When the outside temperature is lower than 10°C/50°F, it is therefore recommended to

use insulation mats on deck and in addition to aim at a general steel temperature of
15°C/59°F to minimise the risk of too low steel temperatures.
Page
Furthermore, the steel temperature should be kept reasonably constant - within the
range of ± 3°C/5°F is recommended. Any changes of the outside temperature should
therefore be carefully monitored and heating equipment calibrated accordingly.
A sudden drop of the steel temperature shortly after application will result in solvent
entrapment and will cause a dry film containing vacuoles, ie resulting in reduced
performance.

nighttime. Application at higher temperatures is possible, but extra care must be taken
to avoid poor film formation and excessive spray-dust.
The steel temperature must be above the dew point. As a rule of thumb a steel
temperature which is 3°C/5°F above the dew point can be considered safe.
The relative humidity should preferably be 40-60%, maximum 80%. In confined spaces,
supply an adequate amount of fresh air during application and drying to assist the
evaporation of solvent.
Drying and curing, In a dry film thickness of 100 micron/4 mils, with a steel temperature of 20°C/68°F, a
ventilation: relative air humidity of maximum 80% and adequate ventilation, HEMPADUR 85671 will
be dry to touch after 4-6 hours. Under these drying conditions, the paint film will accept
light traffic after approximately 16 hours.
One litre undiluted HEMPADUR 85671 gives off in total 81 litres solvent vapour until it is
completely dry.

Hold spray gun at a right angle to and about 30 cm/1 foot from surface making even
parallel passes at a rate to produce the specified wet film thickness as per
specification.
Avoid dry spray (overspray creating exessive paint mist), e.g. by using a smaller fan
angle, and the lowest possible pressure. A small fan angle should also be used, if spray
application is used, for "stripe coating" of for instance reverse sides of stiffeners.
Each layer must be applied homogeneously, must be free from pinholes and other
defects and as near above the specification of 100 micron/4 mils dry film thickness, as
possible. The consumption of paint must be controlled, and heavy layers must be
avoided because of the risk of saggings, cracks and solvent retention.
Surface irregularities such as dry spray, saggings, exaggerated thickness or embedded

If a sandpapering between layers, for instance on the bottom, is needed, great care
must be taken to avoid damaging of otherwise intact surfaces. When using mechanical
means only lightweight equipment should be used, orbital sander is recommended. Yet,
avoid sandpapering on top of welds or irregularities or near to vertical surfaces.
pollution of any kind.
Control of For the standard specification following applies to the dry film thickness:
dry film thicknesses:
The minimum dry film thickness is 300 micron/12 mils, maximum recommended
thickness is 600 micron/24 mils (below 15°C/59°F: 450 micron/18 mils). The minimum
dry film thickness is evaluated according to the "80-20" rule, ie no more than 20% of
the total number of individual measurements must be lower than the minimum dry film
thickness, and the lowest individual measurement must be at least 80% of minimum dry
film thickness, ie 240 micron/9.6 mils. The maximum dry film thickness can also be
evaluated according to the "80-20" rule.

HEMPADUR 85671
Dry film thickness control must not be carried out within the first 24 hours after
application of final coat (20°C, sufficient ventilation). The measurement must be carried
out using an electromagnetic dry film thickness gauge calibrated with shims placed on a
smooth steel substrate.
Taking into use: Do not use the tank or pipeline before the coating is properly cured. Reference is made
to curing time on page 5. When cured, but before taking the tank into use for potable
water, fill twice with water each time for a period of no less than 24 hours and finally
flush with fresh water.
Repair shall be started as soon as possible. Repair of mountings for stagings, etc. must
take place in connection with the dismantling of the stagings, the tempo of which should
be adjusted to the touch-up procedure. Page
The extent of damage to the coating can be evaluated by a seawater test: Wash the
tanks with clean seawater by means of the tank cleaning machines until profiles and/or
heating coils on tanktop is covered. Allow the water to stay for minimum 3 days, after
which period the tank is emptied and cleaned with clean fresh water to remove salts.
Areas less than 5 x 5 cm:
Touch-up to full film thickness with minimum 3 coats of HEMPADUR 85671.
Areas up to 1 sq.m:
The surface preparation must be executed by vacuum blasting or open nozzle blasting
so that the steel has a proper roughness and a cleanness to Sa 3 according to ISO
8501:1988. The overlapping zone must be sanded or sweep blasted to ensure a good
adhesion of the new paint.
