HEMPELS URETHANE 5595U

APPLICATION AND CURING

CONDITIONS:

The surface must be completely clean and dry at the time of application, and its temperature
above the dew point to avoid condensation. Minimum temperature for curing is -10C/14F. At
the freezing point and below, be aware of the risk of ice on the surface which will hinder the
adhesion. High humidity and/or condensation during application and the following 16 hours
(20C/68F) may adversely affect the film formation.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

PRECEDING COAT:

HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 or according to specification.

SUBSEQUENT COAT:

None or HEMPATHANE qualities.

REMARKS:
Film thicknesses/thinning:

Overcoating and drying/curing time:

May be specified in other film thicknesses than indicated depending on purpose and area of
use. This will alter spreading rate and may influence drying time and overcoating interval.
Normal range dry is 40 - 60 micron/1.6 - 2.4 mils.

Overcoating interval
with 5595U

A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion especially at long

overcoating 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 overcoating.
If faster drying property is desired, HEMPELS P/U ACCELERATOR 627US should be added.
Consult the corresponding Product Data Sheet.

Curing agent:

HEMPELS CURING AGENT 931US 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.

Note:

HEMPELS URETHANE 5595U is for professional use only.
