SURFACE PREPARATION: New Steel: Oil and grease should be removed in accordance to SSPC-SP1-solvent cleaning. The
product is also designed for application to surface prepared to St2 (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC-SP2.
On machinery: May be applied directly on steel and iron after degreasing and mechanical
cleaning. Loosely adhering rust and paints to be prepared to minimum St2.Touch up to full firm
thickness.
Repair of damaged areas: Remove oil and grease in accordance with SSPC-SP1-solvent cleaning.
Loosely adhering rust and paints to be prepared to minimum St2. Touch up to full firm thickness.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS: 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: HEMPALS FAST DRY ENAMEL 538SG or according to specification.

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 DFT range is
40-80 micron / 1.6 3.2 mils.

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.
