SURFACE PREPARATION
Black Steel:
• Oil and grease must be removed from all surface with suitable means.
• All contaminants must be removed, especially from the areas where products for welding control
have been used.
• Abrasive blasting up to Sa2½ degree according to ISO 8501-1:1988 on all surface and with an
average roughness according to grade BN9a of the Rugotest nº 3 or grade 2 G/S, 2-S, of the Keane
Tator Comparator, or ISO Comparator, medium (G).
• After that, to remove all dust settled on surface.
Steel with Zinc Silicate Shopprimer:
• Remove oil and grease from the entire surface with suitable means.
• Remove salts and contaminants mainly from the areas where products for welding control have
been used.
• Abrasive blasting up to Sa2½ degree according to ISO 8501-1:1988 on welding and flanges
(interior and exterior) with an average roughness according to grade BN9a of the Rugotest nº 3
or grade 2 G/S, 2-S, of the Keane Tator Comparator, or ISO Comparator, medium (G).
• Abrasive swept to Sa 1 according to ISO 8501-1:1988 on the rest of the surface if the primer is in
good condition. Otherwise, the whole surface must be blasted to Sa 2½.

Leave the section during at least THREE hours and check the steel temperature
after that. With the steel temperature around 40°C, three hours is enough to finish
13 the drying/curing. It is useful to know the evolution of the steel temperature to
know exactly how long has been the section at the maximum temperature.

If during and after application of HEMPADUR 17630/2/3 the steel temperature is below
18°C, you can provide heat for about one hour, but not more, in order to shorten the
polyurethane application time. In this case, the steel temperature should not exceed 25
° C.
Remarks
IMPORTANT!
Pay attention to the overlaps between the exterior coats: HEMPADUR 17630/2/3 and
HEMPATHANE 55930.
In order to avoid a high thickness on the welding seams, overlapping of the second coat
(HEMPADUR 17630/2/3) on the external areas must be done between the welding
seams and not on them
When applying HEMPATHANE 55930 the overlap must be done on the welding seam.

GENERAL REMARKS
Painting shop: light and cleaning
To perform the painting jobs in the optimum conditions, there should be enough light (≥500 lux) so
that the painter can see perfectly "cutting" areas between the different exterior layers.
To facilitate the painting and get a result fulfilling Gamesa Wind’s demands, it is important to
maintain a certain speed on the section rotation during the application of the exterior coats and
during the first phase of drying.
The inside of the shop and the access’s front area must be in a state of optimal cleaning to prevent
the dust from the workshop to be set down in the paint coat when it is still wet. If the area cannot be
vacuumed, wet the shop area and the access with spray water but do not overdo it to avoid a build-
up of water that would increase the humidity values.
The area where cutting, welding and grinding is done must be totally independent and away from
the areas where painting jobs are carried out. Environmental pollution can directly affect the final
quality of the painting, in terms of appearance, dirt, and all types of surface defects. In some cases
may even cause premature corrosion.
The opening of doors during the application of the polyurethane coat, HEMPATHANE, can lead to
problems during the application that can affect its final aspect. The section exposure to high humidity
in the initial phase of curing may lead to an important "loss of brightness or shading" of the paint
layer.
Aplication equipment:
The auxiliaries used for the paint preparation, such as mixers / agitators, and the ordinary application
equipment must be perfectly clean. This is completely necessary to perform an optimum application
and get the final quality that requires Gamesa Wind.
Paint shaker / Mixer: it must be kept perfectly clean because it is used to homogenize the bases of
all products, but at the same time is also used to mix the Base with the Curing Agent. This means
that if it is left to dry instead of being immediately "soaked" with a strong solvent, the paint cures by
chemical reaction and may come a time when it will be impossible to clean it with solvent. If this
happens, the shaker /mixer will have to be clean using other methods as for example blasting it or
submerging it in a paint remover.
High Pressure Equipment: This type of equipment is "strong" but at the same time is extremely
sensitive to contaminants. Accessories, filters, valves, etc. that are in constant contact with the paint
must be in perfect condition to avoid any incidents that would inevitably affect the final quality of the
finished piece. Note that all the paint flowing through the equipment and the hoses is mixed and "in
phase of chemical reaction". Therefore, if either the cleaning times are delayed or little energetic
solvents are used, it is possible that traces of cross-linked paint remain in any area or piece of the
equipment, such as accessories, valves, hoses, etc.
Equipment Cleaning: The solvents used for optimal and thorough the equipment cleaning must have
a minimum of strong solvents such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Isopropanol, Methoxy-Propanol,
Toluene, etc. Usually, cleaning solvents available on the market that are of proven quality, are
composed of a mixture of them all, to a greater or lesser extent, but this ratio is constant and does
not vary from batch to batch, unless expressly modification from manufacturer.
12
However, if the cleaning solvent comes from "distillates or recoveries" of other solvents, then it is
not possible to ensure that the contents of certain solvents remain constant over time and between
different batches. For example, if the solvent used were only composed by Toluene it would not be
suitable for epoxy or polyurethane paints.
For this purpose Hempel has the THINNER 08570, a "strong" enough organic solvent which can
effectively clean the application equipment and accessories. If one of any other manufacturer would
be used its composition should be contrasted qualitatively and quantitatively. Hempel also has
available HEMPEL’S TOOL CLEANER 99610, a cleaner highly effective when there are long stops,
such as weekend, holidays, etc. or just when the equipment has to be left in perfect conditions. The
use of Tool Cleaner 99610 is recommended when you want to perform an optimal cleaning of the
equipment. For example, once a week or fortnight, it would be appropriate to recirculate the Cleaner
Tool 99610 through the painting equipment to leave it in perfect condition.
Finally, it would be necessary and recommended to recirculate a small amount of polyurethane

solvent THINNER 08710 or 0871M (India) before starting the application of the polyurethane coat
to leave the circuit in perfect condition.
Paint Jobs disruption:
In case of labour day end, weekend or holidays, the section must be left with only the coat of
HEMPADUR ZINC 17360 applied, both, in the interior and the exterior areas. In no case should
the section be left without paint protection after blasting.
Sections’ handling:
To minimize the amount of damage, both inside and outside the painted section, it would be
advisable to carry out the handling with suitable elements that cause minimal damage to the painted
surface. In addition, for assembly jobs inside the section, the surface should be sufficiently dry and
the passageway area must be protected to prevent any damage and dirt that could be cause by the
operators’ footsteps.

HEMPADUR ZINC 17360
SURFACE PREPARATION: Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove salts and other contaminants
by high pressure fresh water cleaning.
Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC-SP 10/ NACE No. 2, with a sharp-edged surface
profile corresponding to Rugotest No. 3, BN10a-b, Keane-Tator Comparator, 3.0 G/S, 2-3 S, or ISO
Comparator, Medium (G).
APPLICATION CONDITIONS: Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above: -10°C/14°F. The
temperature of the surface must also be above these limits. The temperature of paint itself should be
15°C/59°F or above. Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to
avoid condensation.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
SUBSEQUENT COAT: According to specification.
REMARKS: Note: If used as anticorrosive protection under insulation of high temperature equipment it is very
important that NO moisture can penetrate during slow-down periods. This is to avoid the risk of "wet
corrosion" when the temperature rises.

For VOC of other shades, please refer to Safety Data Sheet.
Weathering/service temperatures: The natural tendency of epoxy coatings to chalk in outdoor exposure and to become more sensitive to
mechanical damage and chemical exposure at elevated temperatures is also reflected in this product.
Stirring: Before mixing with the curing agent stir the base thoroughly in order to redisperse any possible settling
after storage. After mixing it is equally important to maintain stirring to keep the wet paint as a
homogeneous mixture.
This is specifically important in case of a high level of thinning and/or long break in application, where
the risk of settlement of zinc particles is the highest.
Film thicknesses/thinning: May be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This
will alter spreading rate and may influence drying time and overcoating interval. Normal range dry is:
40-80 micron/1.6-3.2 mils. Thicknesses down to 15 micron/0.6 mils (extra thinning) and up to 80
micron/3.2 mils may be possible. This will alter spreading rate and may influence amount of thinning
necessary, drying time, and recoating interval.
(The dry film thickness range does not take into account the correction factors for rough surfaces as
listed in ISO 19840).
Overcoating: Overcoating intervals related to later conditions of exposure: If the maximum overcoating interval is
exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion.
Before overcoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean the surface thoroughly with high
pressure fresh water hosing and allow drying.
A specification supersedes any guideline overcoat intervals indicated in the table.

Colours/Colour stability: Colour stability for some shades may be effected by exposure to harsh chemical atmospheres. This
does not affect the performance of the coating. For certain colours (yellow, red, orange, green, etc.),
extra coats may be necessary to obtain full opacity.
For aluminium pigmented shades scratching actions or high humidity/water may cause discolouration/
disturbances of the surface. This will have no influence on the performance. This phenomenon may be
avoided by applying a clear varnish.
Weathering/service temperatures: At service temperatures above: 100°C/212°F, The product will become softer. Elevated temperature

HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700
15700: LIQUID 15709: METAL PIGMENT 97170/97140
For product description refer to product data sheet HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700
Scope: These application instructions cover surface preparation, application equipment, and application of
HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700.
The following are general rules, which may be supplemented with more detailed descriptions when
needed, for instance for major new-buildings/new constructions or extensive repair jobs.
Steel work: For optimum performance, e.g. relevant for cargo tank coating, the following is recommended:
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 welding seams, undercuts, cracks, etc. should be avoided. If found,
they must be remedied by welding and/or grinding.
All steel work must comply with ISO 8501-3:2006, preparation grade P3.
The steel must be of first class quality and should not have been allowed to rust more than corresponding
to grade B of ISO 8501-1:2007.
Local areas showing rust grade C must be subject to extended inspection of salt contamination.
Note: Porous surfaces such as certain types of cast iron cannot be properly protected with zinc silicate.
Deeply corroded steel may also be difficult to protect with a zinc silicate.
All steel work (including welding, flame cutting, grinding) must be finished before the surface preparation
starts.
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. Water soluble salts shall be removed by
high pressure fresh water hosing if the concentration is above 50 mg/m2.
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 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 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.
Abrasive blasting with sharp abrasive to min Sa 2½, ISO 8501-1:2007.
To obtain full chemical resistance according to the CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE, the steel surface must
be abrasive blast cleaned according to ISO 8501-1:2007, very near to white metal Sa 2.5-3. 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 10 or ISO Comparator min. 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 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.
The compressed air must be dry and clean. The compressor must be fitted with suitable oil and water
traps.
Issued: April 2016 Page: 1/7

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.
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 overcoating 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
equivalent to 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.
Gaskets: Teflon
Nozzle orifice: .019" through .023".
Fan angle: 40° through 70°.
Nozzle pressure: 100-150 bar (1400-2100 psi).
(Spray-data are indicative and subject to adjustment).
Thinning, if required: max. 30% of THINNER 08700 – see below.

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 re-
circulated 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.
HEMPEL’S THINNER 0870M can be used to accelerate curing - when airless spray application is used.
This may increase the tendency for mud cracking.
HEMPEL’S THINNER 0870M is not allowed to be used when HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 is used as a
tank coating.
Cleaning of equipment: The whole equipment must thoroughly be cleaned 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. Leftovers in the packings cannot be used later.
Protect HEMPEL’S ZINC METAL PIGMENT 97170/97140 against moisture before mixing.
b. Before mixing, shake or stir the GALVOSIL 15709 LIQUID very thoroughly.
c. Pour HEMPEL’S ZINC METAL PIGMENT 97170/97140 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).
Temperature of paint: In a hot climate it is important that the cans with LIQUID 15709 are kept out of the sun and that the
temperature of LIQUID 15709 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 the correct spray technique the amount of thinner added must be carefully adjusted to secure
optimum film formation. Refer to “Thinning” section for more details.
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.
Application procedure, When used as a tank coating, HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 is normally specified in 1 x 100 micron/1 x 4
tank coating: mils - minimum 90 micron/3.6 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.
Dry spray: 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:
Recommended minimum surface temperature is 0°C/32°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 night time.
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. All surfaces must be ventilated. However, avoid ventilators blowing directly onto
the freshly applied paint.
Drying and curing, Correct film formation depends on adequate ventilation during drying.
ventilation:
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 HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 gives off in total 160 litres solvent vapour until it is
completely dry.
The lower explosive limit, LEL, is 0.5%.
To reach a common safety requirement of 10% LEL, the theoretical ventilation requirement is 320 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.
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 state/time: The coating must be fully cured before taking into use and before overcoating.
The state of curing should be checked according to ASTM D4752 with a resistance rating of minimum 4.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) may be substituted by HEMPEL THINNER 08700 for the test.

Curing is dependent on relative humidity, (steel) temperatures and air circulation.
General curing conditions (using HEMPEL’S THINNER 08700)

Relative humidity Temperature Curing time
65% 0°C/32°F 3 days
65% 10°C/50°F 36 hours
65% 20°C/68°F 16 hours
The curing time can be reduced at low humidities by:
1. Hosing down the surface with water 1-2 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 recoated.
2. Adding upto 20% HEMPEL’S THINNER 0870M which can be used as an accelerator.
The coating will resist light showers after 1-2 hours at 20°C/68°F and 50% relative humidity.
Full curing for cargo loading:
Before tanks are taken into use, the coating must be fully cured (The coating will be fully resistant
according to the CARGO PROTECTION GUIDE.) 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.
HEMPEL’S THINNER 0870M is not allowed to be used when HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700 is used as a
tank coating.
Recommended film For long time protection, when overcoated with heavy-duty systems:
thickness: Dry film thickness: 50-80 micron/2-3.2 mils
Wet film thickness: 75-100 micron/3-4 mils (undiluted).
For long time protection, without topcoat:

Dry film thickness: 75-100 micron/3-4 mils
Wet film thickness: 125-150 micron/5-6 mils (undiluted).
In tanks:
Dry film thickness: 100 micron/4 mils
Wet film thickness: 150 micron/6 mils (undiluted).
High service temperature:

Dry film thickness: Maximum 40-50 µm/1.6-2 mils. This DFT should not be exceeded in order to prevent
cracking, especially in cases where service conditions include sudden temperature changes. (Note: The
dry film thickness range does not take into account the correction factors for rough surfaces as listed in
ISO 19840).
For a tank coating specification the specified film thickness should be controlled according to the 90-10
rule, i.e. 90% 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 90% 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, i.e. above approximately 125 micron/5 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 close vicinity.
Note: Special care is necessary to ensure proper film thickness on welding seams, edges, corners, ribs,
etc.
Extra coat (overcoating Too low film thickness can be made good by applying an extra coat of HEMPEL'S GALVOSIL 15700.
by itself): Surface preparation procedure - if necessary - and dilution of paint according to section “Application
procedure, tank coating".

Application of an extra coat should be done before the coating has fully cured, i.e. during the curing
period with low relative humidity. The relative humidity must be kept below 60%, absolute maximum 65 all
the time until overcoating and the painted surface is not exposed to open weather, contamination of the
like.

Overcoating interval HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 must be fully cured before overcoating with a full paint system.
(other paints):
Overcoating 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 overcoating, e.g. HEMPADUR qualities.
Surface cleaning: The cleaning before overcoating 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.
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 overcoating.
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).
Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and paint containers,
consult Hempel Material Safety Data Sheets and follow all local or national safety regulations. Avoid
inhalation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do not swallow. Take precautions against possible risks
of fire or explosions as well as protection of the environment. Apply only in well ventilated areas.

damage to shopprimer and contamination from storage and fabrication should be
thoroughly cleaned prior to final painting.
Stainless steel: 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.
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.

Issued: February 2015 Page 1 of 4

HEMPADUR 17630/
HEMPADUR 17633
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 over
thinning.
Airless spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment
Application: Film-build/continuity: for high performance paint specifications 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 stripe coat will usually be necessary. 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. Avoid exaggerated film thickness due to the risk of sagging, cracks and solvent
retention. The paint consumption must be controlled.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous film with a smooth surface and
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.
Application on A proper mist-coat technique is necessary in order to avoid/reduce the risk of

zinc silicate or spray “popping”/”pinholes”. Add up to 50% thinner depending on the actual conditions
metallised surfaces: 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 packing. 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: 86 parts by weight of base
and 14 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. 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):
Temperature of mixed paint 15°C/59°F1) 20°C/68°F 25°C/77°F 30°C/86°F2)
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 substrate 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).
Application with two-component spray equipment:

Heating of the paint may be relevant to obtain a proper spray fan and a uniform and smooth
paint film.

HEMPADUR 17630/
HEMPADUR 17633
This can either be done by preheating the two-components separately 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.
Attached: Tables of "physical data versus temperature"
In relation to overcoating intervals the following must be observed:
Maximum overcoating intervals:

If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, whatever the subsequent coat,
roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure optimum intercoat adhesion or in the case
of overcoating with coatings other than HEMPADUR, apply a (thin) additional coat of
HEMPADUR 17630/17633 within the following directions for overcoating:
Long overcoating intervals:

The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned from all sorts of contaminants including such
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, grinding
or sweep blasting. The existing coating system must in all respects be sound and applied
according to Product Data Sheets, Application Instructions and Specification, To check
whether the quality of the surface cleaning is adequate, a test patch may be relevant.
Consult HEMPEL for specific advice if in doubt.
