HEMPADUR 15590
SURFACE New steel: Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½-3 depending on area of use. Minimum surface profile
PREPARATION: corresponding to Rugotest No. 3, BN11a, Keane-Tator Comparator, 5.5 G/S, or ISO Comparator
Coarse (G) - or as per the specification for the subsequent coat(s). Oil and grease must be
removed with suitable detergent, salts and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water
cleaning prior to blasting. After blasting, clean the surface carefully from abrasives and dust.
Maintenance: On old steel surfaces having been exposed to salt water, excessive amounts of salt
residues in pitting may call for wet abrasive blasting followed by dry abrasive blasting. Alternatively,
dry abrasive blasting followed by high pressure fresh water cleaning, drying, and finally, dry
abrasive blasting again.

APPLICATION Apply only to a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid
CONDITIONS: condensation. Minimum temperature for application is 5°C/41°F, preferably above 10°C/50°F.
Relative humidity maximum 80%, preferably below 60%.
The temperature of the paint itself should preferably be between 15°C/59°F and 25°C/77°F.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

PRECEDING None.
COAT:
SUBSEQUENT
COAT: HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 35530 and HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45751. May be used as a
blast primer in HEMPADUR 15400 systems.

Film thicknesses: May be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use.
This will alter spreading rate and may influence drying time and recoating interval. Normal range dry
is 30-50 micron/1.2-2 mils.
The stated minimum recoating interval may be halved for areas not intended for water immersion.
To secure good adhesion and the best possible mechanical properties, the following implies:
• The coating has been applied in a dry film thickness as near as possible to the specified 40
micron.
• The film formation has been of good quality and without any dry spray.
• The drying and curing conditions have been according to APPLICATION CONDITIONS, please see
above. (In the case of long recoating intervals: until full curing has been obtained).
• No kind of surface contamination exists, except loose dust, etc. which is possible to remove by
vacuum cleaning (tanks) / hosing down (exterior).
The surface MUST be completely clean before recoating. The coating is checked carefully and
should be without patchy, whitish, and/or greasy formations, which can hinder adhesion of
subsequent coat. Note: Exudation of curing agent causes the mentioned patchy, whitish, and/or
greasy formations which will take place if HEMPADUR 15590 is applied at low temperature
without proper induction time and/or if the coating is exposed to water (rain, condensation)
during drying and curing.
• Depending on actual local conditions, extended maximum recoating intervals may apply.
Please contact HEMPEL for further advice.
If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure
intercoat adhesion. Before recoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean surface
thoroughly by (high pressure) fresh water hosing and allow to dry. HEMPADUR 15590 will resist a
hosing down of the surface 8 hours after application at a steel temperature of 20°C/68°F.
Note: HEMPADUR 15590 is for professional use only.
