Hempel's HI-VEE 56540 is a non-hiding acrylic coating that strongly reflects daylight, containing fluorescent pigments that give a strong colour impression and high visibility (HI-VEE). It has no effect in the dark; to improve lightfastness, Hempel's HI-VEE Lacquer 06520 should be sprayed as a topcoat.
For life-saving equipment and warning purposes, e.g., protruding or moving objects.
