Chemical
resistance
guide
for protective coatings
Hempel protective coatings produce the most versatile range
of chemically resistant linings on the market. This guide is
intended to provide a summary of the capabilities of the
Hempel linings offer. It does not contain all the linings in the
Hempel offer and the chemicals listed are not the limit of
chemicals to which Hempels linings areresistant.

Hempel supply linings suitable for a wide variety of applications

including, but not limited to:
internal lining of above and below ground storage tanks
internal lining for process vessels and piping
external lining of buried tanks, vessels and equipment

Hempel also provide a range of linings suitable for use onto

concrete surfaces which protect against chemical, abrasion
and impact attack. Specialised systems are available which can
provide crack bridging solutions for applications where concrete
movement is expected. Hempadur 15400

Specific notes
(A) Introduction
Hempel provides guidance on the resistance of tank linings
to those products which are commonly stored in bulk
quantities. An explanation of the notations against each
product is asfollows:
Note = storage of product subject to the conditions of the
specific Chemical notes itemized.
1,4 = Recommended provided the requirements of Notes 1
and 4 are met.
NR = Not recommended for this service.
T = Testing is required to determine if this product is
suitable for this service.
Recommendations are based on laboratory test data,
field service and/or practical experience.
Performance is subject to application and cure in
strict accordance with the product data sheets and
project specification.
The chemical resistance information included in this
document is for materials cured under normal ambient
conditions. Post-curing can in some cases improve the
chemical resistance of certain linings (and also reduce
any risk of contamination in some critical chemicals)
consult Hempel.
All concentrations listed are aqueous,
unless otherwisenoted.
(B) Substrates and primers
The resistance quoted in the guide refers to the coating
system being applied directly to mild steel that has been
prepared to the standard quoted on the product data sheet
or over an approved primer. Application to alternative
primers and substrates is possible.
All information is correct at the time of going to press. Please check with your local sales representative for the latest information.

Chemical resistance guide
(C) Product storage temperature
Chemical resistance is recorded as the maximum continuous
storage temperature (loading temperatures may be up to
10C higher than the storage temperature).
In certain circumstances some products have been
demonstrated to be suitable for high temperature service
and the recorded value may be increased subject to
confirmation of the conditions - please consult your regional
linings technical representative.
Care should be taken when storing high temperature
aqueous chemicals. Where large temperature differentials
exist between the chemicals and external tank wall there is a
danger of the tank coating system being adversely affected
due to cold wall thermal shock. If temperature differences are
in excess of 30C (54F), it is recommended that the tank is
insulated to reduce thermal gradient.
(D) Coating discolouration
Some stored products may cause discolouration or
staining of the surface of the coating under certain storage
conditions. Coatings may also become discoloured by dyes
etc. which are added to products (e.g. to petroleum products
for tax exemption purposes). This colour change does not
affect the chemical resistance properties of the coating.
(E) Tank cleaning
Hempel does not advise on methods of tank cleaning, except
where cleaning methods may cause damage to the coating.
Expert advice should be sought from one of the specialist
tank cleaning companies.
Before use, any cleaning chemicals should be tested
to determine if they have any detrimental effect on the
liningmaterial.
(F) Mixtures
For mixtures of materials it may not simply be a case
of the chemicals resistance list for the components.
Mixtures can behave differently to the sum of their
components. Please consult Hempel to confirm suitability
of lining schemes for chemical blends.

Product notes
1. Water miscible and hydrolysable chemicals
These products are susceptible to hydrolysis in the presence
of water to form compounds which are potentially damaging
to the coating.
These products are only acceptable for storage if they are
pure, essentially neutral and are carried under completely
dry conditions.
2. Vegetable and animal oils and fats
Vegetable and animal oil, fats etc. are esters of polyols
with fatty acids and nearly always contain free fatty acid.
If in contact with water, especially at higher temperatures,
these can saponify, resulting in increased free fatty acid
content. Free fatty acids can be very aggressive to tank
coatings. Thus, during loading, storage and discharge the
acid values should not exceed the values shown below.
Acid value measured in accordance with ISO 660 (1996)
is the only accepted method to determine a cargos suitability
for storage. The free fatty acid percentages are a guide only
as the acid value is dependant on the molecular weight
of the fatty acid(s).
Galvosil 15700 - Maximum acid value (acc.to ISO 660
(1996)) - 5 mg KOH/g oil.
Hempadur 15400 - Maximum acid value (acc.to ISO 660
(1996)) - 30 mg KOH/g oil.
Hempadur 85671 - Maximum acid value (acc.to ISO 660
(1996)) - 100 mg KOH/g oil.
Hempel 35910 - Maximum acid value (acc.to ISO 660
(1996)) - No limit.
3. Caustic products
Dilute caustic solutions can be very aggressive towards
tank linings. Care should be taken when cleaning tanks
containing caustic materials to avoid prolonged contact
of the lining with dilute solutions.
All information is correct at the time of going to press. Please check with your local sales representative for the latest information.

a selection.
Please consult Hempel for the status of approvals in your
country/region.
5. Generically identified materials
These products are believed to be suitable for storage in the
indicated tank lining since they seem to be generically similar
to products successfully stored. Since the composition may
vary, a detailed specification for the product to be stored
must be supplied to Hempel a recommendation on the
product notation can usually be made without testing,
however in some cases confirming tests may be required.
6. Discolouration of acids on storage
Storage of strong acids (such as Hydrochloric, Sulphuric and
Phosphoric acid) in contact with chemically resistant linings
may cause discolouration of the lining. This will not influence
the corrosion protection, however, with prolonged immersion
there is a risk of discolouration of the stored acid. If purity is
a requirement alternative storage solutions may berequired.
