If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are needed to achieve the specified dry film thickness. The pot life of water-borne two-component epoxy and polyurethane cannot be determined by changes in the appearance of the coating itself. Furthermore, unlike other coatings, the pot life shortens as the temperature falls. When the pot life is exceeded, the remaining paint should be discarded. Spray parameters are indicative and can be adjusted according to site conditions. Pressure values apply to material at 20 °C. (*Consult the company representative if other application methods are needed!)

Depending on the end use and service area, the product may be specified at film thicknesses other than those indicated. This will alter the spreading rate, drying and curing times and recoat interval. To achieve optimum performance, avoid excessive film thickness.
- If brush or roller application is used, more coats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness.

Measured at 40 µm dry film thickness under standard conditions; see Hempel's explanatory notes.
For products of the same generic chemical composition, recoat times are for reference only.
For further information, refer to Hempel's specifications.
- To achieve the stated drying times, adequate ventilation during application, drying and curing is essential.
