Hempel's Multi-purpose Epoxy High Build 500 is a fast-drying, high-solids epoxy/epoxy resin coating. It provides hard, abrasion-resistant protection and long-lasting barrier protection in coating systems for severely corrosive environments. When used as part of a pre-specified paint system, the product complies with the requirements of ISO 12944 Part 5 (2019).
Where fast handling and short recoat intervals are required, Hempel's Multi-purpose Epoxy High Build 500 is recommended as a high-build intermediate coat in high-performance coating systems. Due to its fast drying, the product is ideal for projects requiring rapid completion. The product can also be used as a surface-tolerant coating that acts as its own primer and as a topcoat in heavy-duty coating systems. Suitable for application at temperatures down to 10°C [50°F].
The product is available in a range of MIO colour shades, such as 18021 and 18061; both shades have an MIO content of 80% and a solids content of 82% ± 2.
Other MIO colour shades are also available, such as 12430 and 16980, and non-MIO grey 13600, with a solids content of 85% ± 2.

If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are required to achieve the dry film thickness specified in the standard. For high or low temperatures and substrates with complex geometry, specialized application techniques may be required to achieve dry film thickness above 200 µm. Contact Hempel for advice. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to site conditions. Pressure values apply to material at 20°C. (*Consult the company representative if other application methods are required!).
