If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Never thin beyond the range permitted by local environmental regulations. For brush or roller application, a suitable thinner or brushing agent may be used as required. HEMPEL brush/roller additive 99140 may be used to improve flow and levelling. Consult Hempel for advice. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to site conditions. Pressure figures apply to material at 20 °C. (*For other application methods, consult the company representative.)

To achieve optimum performance, avoid excessive film thickness.
During and for a period after application, film formation may be adversely affected by light rain, high humidity and/or condensation: '8 h, 20 °C/68 °F'.
- Ideal spray performance is obtained at paint temperatures of 15–30 °C [59–86 °F]; outside this range, additional thinning may be required.

Measured at 80 µm dry film thickness under standard conditions; see Hempel's explanatory notes.
Recoat times are for reference only for products of the same generic chemical composition at the recommended dry film thickness (DFT).
For further information, refer to Hempel's specifications.
- To achieve the stated drying times, adequate ventilation during application, drying and curing is essential.
