48140
Hempel's Water-borne Epoxy Paint 48140 is a two-component water-borne epoxy coating with good mechanical strength, chemical resistance and gloss retention.
Hempel's Water-borne Epoxy Paint 48140 can be used as a single-coat or two-coat system inside engine rooms and accommodation spaces. In a two-coat system, it may be self-overcoated or overcoated onto a general-purpose primer.
When appearance requirements are not high, the product may also be used as a topcoat.
- 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.
- When used as part of a predefined paint system, complies with IMO MSC.307 (88) Annex 1, 2010 FTP Code.

The pot life of water-borne two-component epoxy and polyurethane coatings cannot be determined from changes in the appearance of the paint itself. Unlike other coatings, pot life shortens as temperature decreases. Discard remaining paint after the pot life has been exceeded. If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are required to obtain the specified DFT. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to site conditions. Pressure values apply to material at 20°C. (*Consult a company representative for other application methods.)
