Safety: Handle with care. Before and during use, observe all safety labels on packaging and
paint containers, consult Hempel material safety data sheets and follow all local or
national safety regulations. Avoid inhalation, avoid contact with skin and eyes and do
not swallow. Take precautions against possible risks of fire or explosions as well as
protection of the environment. Apply only in well-ventilated areas.
Surface preparation: The surface should be stable, firm, dry, and free of dust, sand, loose old paint, laitance,
dirt, grease and oil. It is recommended to apply a primer/sealer prior to the application
of the specified filler. Touch-up with primer/sealer on areas repaired with filler is recom-
mended prior to application of topcoats.
o
Application conditions: Use only where application and drying can proceed at temperatures above 5 C, and
relative humidity is below 75%.
Remarks: Drying data given is on the assumption that proper ventilation is provided.
Masking tapes used during paint application should be removed when the paint is still
in the wet condition.
Note: *The physical constants stated are nominal data according to the Hempel Group’s
approved formulas. They are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances and where
stated, being standard deviation according to ISO 3534–1.
**The theoretical spreading rate has been calculated for the stated volume solids
and dry film thickness. A practical spreading rate will depend on the actual dry film
thickness, the nature of the substrate and the relevant consumption factor.
The physical constants are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
