BASE 45239 with CURING AGENT 95040
HEMPADUR HI-BUILD 45230 is a two-component, high-build, polyamide cured epoxy
paint. It forms a hard and tough coating, resistant to seawater, splashes of mineral oils
and aliphatci hydrocarbons. Limited resistance to vegetable and animal oils, aromatic
hydrocarbons and stronger solvents.
As an intermediate or finishing coat in moderate to severely corrosive environments.
Can be applied directly on cured zinc silicate (GALVOSIL qualities) or similar surfaces to
minimize popping.
Maximum, dry exposure only: 140°C/284°F
Not included in Group Assortment. Local availability subject to confirmation.

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.

HEMPADUR HI-BUILD 45230

SURFACE Zinc silicate coated surfaces: Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt
PREPARATION: and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. After exposure to high humidity,
zinc salts (“white rust”) will have to be removed thoroughly by high pressure fresh water hosing, if
necessary combined with scrubbing with stiff nylon brushes. Consult the APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS for the relevant GALVOSIL product.

APPLICATION Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above 10°C/50°F.
CONDITIONS: The temperature of the surface and that of the paint itself must also be above this limit.
Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid
condensation. In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

REMARKS:
Weathering/service The natural tendency of epoxy coatings to chalk in outdoor exposure and to become more
Temperatures: sensitive to mechanical damage and chemical exposure at elevated temperatures is also
reflected in this product.
Film thickness: 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 50-125 micron/2.0-5.0 mils. However, to obtain optimum anti-popping properties on top of
zinc silicates (GALVOSIL), apply HEMPADUR HI-BUILD 45230 in a dry film thickness of at least
75 micron/3.0 mils. It is recommended to apply a mist coat of the non-diluted HEMPADUR
HI-BUILD 45230, let the air escape, and then apply the full coat of HEMPADUR HI-BUILD 45230 a
few minutes later. Especially at temperatures below 25°C/77°F, this procedure is recommended.

*If the coating has been subjected to direct sunlight for a short period only, the maximum recoating interval may be prolonged.

Before recoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean the surface thoroughly by high
pressure fresh water hosing and allow to dry.
If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure
intercoat adhesion.
Note: HEMPADUR HI-BUILD 45230 is for professional use only.
