Hempel's Epoxy 47700 is a high-build pure epoxy for low-surface-treatment application, forming an extremely hard cured film with good abrasion and seawater resistance.
Hempel's Epoxy 47700 is recommended as a self-priming primer, heavy-duty coating or intermediate coat, suitable for immersed and non-immersed areas exposed to abrasion and corrosive climates, such as cargo holds, hulls, working decks or steel structures requiring low VOC, fast drying and high film build. Hempel's Epoxy 47700 is suitable for all-year application, cures at temperatures down to −10 °C [14 °F], and is suitable for applications requiring fast recoating and handling.
- When used as part of the specified coating system, it is approved as a low flame-spread material. For further details, see the Declaration of Conformity at hempel.com.
- Complies with US FDA and EU food regulations for contact with dry food. For details, consult Hempel.
