Description:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 is a two-component polyamide adduct cured, high

solids, high build epoxy paint. It forms a hard and tough coating, has good wetting
properties and low temperature curing.
Recommended use:
As a selfprimed, surface tolerant paint system or as an intermediate or finishing coat in

heavy duty paint systems where low VOC and high film build are required.
Multipurpose coating as per specification for maintenance including ballast tanks and
underwater hull and new steel in those cases, where a need for few products
outweighs more specialised coatings.
Can be specified where extended recoating properties for polyurethane topcoats are
requested (typically travel coating). May be used directly on cured zinc silicate
(GALVOSIL products) or spray-metallized surfaces to minimize popping.
As a topcoat where the usual outdoor cosmetic appearance of epoxy paints is
acceptable.

HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881

SURFACE
PREPARATION:
New steel: When used as an intermediate or finishing coat please refer to the data sheet for the
preceding GALVOSIL or HEMPADUR primer. When used as a primer please refer to the
specification.
Zinc silicate painted or spray-metallized surfaces: Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable
detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Zinc salts
(white rust) must be removed by high pressure hosing combined with rubbing with a stiff nylon
brush if necessary. It is recommended to recoat spray-metallized surfaces as soon as possible to
avoid possible contamination.
Concrete: Remove slip agent and other possible contaminants by emulsion washing followed by
high pressure hosing with fresh water. Remove scum layer and loose matter to a hard, rough and
uniform surface, preferably by abrasive blasting, possibly by other mechanical treatment or acid
etching. Seal surface with suitable sealer, as per relevant painting specification.
Repair and maintenance: Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and
other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Clean damaged areas thoroughly by
power tool cleaning to minimum St 2 (spot-repairs) or by abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2, preferably
to Sa 2. Improved surface preparation will improve the performance of HEMPADUR MASTIC
45880/45881. As an alternative to dry cleaning, water jetting to min. Wa 2 (ISO 85014:2006)(or according to specification), may be used. A flash-rust degree of maximum M (ISO 85014:2006) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact paint. Dust off
residues.
On pit-corroded surfaces, excessive amounts of salt residues may call for water jetting, wet
abrasive blasting, alternatively dry abrasive blasting, high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and
finally, dry abrasive blasting again.
APPLICATION
CONDITIONS:
Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid
condensation. Use only when application and curing can proceed at temperatures above -5C/23F
(recommended lowest temperature is 0C/32F) for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 and above approx
15C/59F for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45881. The temperature of the paint itself should be
15C/59F or above, but advantageously below approximately 30C/86F to secure proper
application properties. Optimal spraying properties are obtained at a paint temperature of 1822C/64-72F. In warmer climates, the paint should be stored in a cool place and the paint
temperature should preferably be kept below 30C/86F. In confined spaces provide adequate
ventilation during application and drying. In cases where faster drying at very low temperatures is
required, HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 may advantageously be replaced by HEMPADUR 45143.
Please also see separate APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
PRECEDING and
SUBSEQUENT COAT: None or according to specification.

Curing agents:
It is recommended to apply HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 by using a "mist-coat" procedure

Provided the paint temperature is approximately above 20C/68F: A thin, undiluted coat is
applied (the mist coat) and after a few minutes, a second coat is applied in the full specified film
thickness. If the paint temperature is below 20C/68F, thinning (max 15%) may be required.
Curing agents 95880 and 95881 are hazy. This is intended and has no negative influence on the
performance.

High temperatures: 45881: BASE 45889 with CURING AGENT 95881
Low to medium temperatures: 45880: BASE 45889 with CURING AGENT 95880
Scope:
These Application Instructions cover surface preparation, application equipment and

application details for HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881.
Surface preparation:
General: In order to obtain best performance, abrasive blast cleaning is recommended.

However, HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 has surface tolerant properties and
offers higher performance than many other coatings when applied to surfaces
mechanically cleaned only (salts, oil, grease etc. shall always be removed).
Remove oil and grease with suitable detergent, salt and other contaminants by (high
pressure) fresh water cleaning.
NEW STEEL:
When used as intermediate and/or finishing coat, surface preparation according to
Product Data Sheet for the preceding primer coat (HEMPADUR primers). When used as
a selfpriming coat, surface preparation according to specification.
When applied to GALVOSILS:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 can be applied when the GALVOSIL is cured.
Consult APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS for the relevant GALVOSIL. Remove oil and grease
etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other contaminants by high pressure
fresh water cleaning. After exposure to high humidity, zinc salts, "white rust", must be
removed carefully by high pressure fresh water cleaning, if necessary combined with
scrubbing with stiff nylon brushes.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE:
Spot-repairs:
Clean damaged areas thoroughly by power tool cleaning to minimum St 2 (spot-repairs)
or by abrasive blasting to minimum Sa 2, preferably Sa 2. Improved surface
preparation will improve the performance of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an
alternative, water jetting to minimum Wa 2 (ISO 8501-4:2006)(or according to
specification) may be used. A flash-rust degree of maximum M (ISO 8501-4:2006) is
acceptable before application. Feather edges to sound and intact areas. Brush off loose
material. Touch up to full film thickness.
Compatibility: HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 may be used in connection with
other generic paint systems than epoxy and polyurethanes.
It is recommended to make a test patch. In any case it is a must that the old paint
system is tightly adhering and is properly prepared before the touch-up is performed.
Full coating:
Compatibility with old system: In general full compatibility can be expected with old
epoxy systems. A test patch should always be performed before full coating is decided.
If the old epoxy is not weathered/chalked or if it is topcoated with polyurethane, it is
recommended to roughen the surface before recoating. Furthermore, very thorough
cleaning is a must. Any dirt, chalked surface material, oil and grease should be
removed with suitable detergent followed by high pressure fresh water hosing of the
entire surface.
Removal of old system: Full coating after complete mechanical removal of an old paint
system is possible too. Yet, it must be considered that mechanical cleaning by disc
grinding or by rotating wire brushing may produce a very smooth surface which reduce
the adhesive forces of the primer coat
Issued: December 2007

Instructions

Note: Another risk is remains of a hard black rust scale being cleaned to an apparent
brightness without showing any adhesive defects. Yet, the exposure to open air during
cleaning may have started a further oxidation of the hard black rust making it
mechanically weak and of poor adhesion to the underlying steel surface. Later, during
service, the scale plus overlaying paint material may flake off.
When used for immersion service, repair:
Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and other
contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Clean damaged areas thoroughly
by power tool cleaning to St 3 (minor areas) or by abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2,
preferably Sa 2. Improved surface preparation will improve the performance of
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881. As an alternative to dry cleaning, water jetting to
minimum Wa 2 (ISO 8501-4:2006), may be used. A flash rust degree of M,
preferably L (ISO 8501-4:2006) is acceptable before application. Feather edges to
sound intact areas. Dust off residues. Touch up to full film thickness
Note: On old steel surfaces having been exposed to salty water, excessive amounts of
salt residues in pittings may call for high pressure water jetting, wet abrasive blasting,
alternatively dry abrasive blasting, high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally,
dry abrasive blasting again.
Application equipment:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 being a high solids and a relatively high viscosity
material, may require special measures to be taken at application.
Recommended airless spray equipment:
Pump ratio:
Pump output:
min. 45:1
12 litres/minute (theoretical)
Input pressure:
Spray hoses:
min. 6 bar/90 psi

max. 100 metres/300 feet, internal diameter
max. 30 metres/100 feet, 3/8" internal diameter
max. 6 metres/20 feet, 1/4" internal diameter
Regular surfaces:
Nozzle size:.021" through .023"
Fan angle: 60.
Complicated surfaces (and touch up):

Nozzle size: .017" through .021"
Fan angle: 40.
After finishing the application, clean the equipment immediately with THINNER 08450 or
HEMPELS TOOL CLEANER 99610.
Note: Increasing hose diameter may increase paint flow, thereby improving the spray
fan. If longer hoses are necessary it may be necessary to raise the pump ratio to 60:1,
maintaining the high output capacity of the pump.
Alternatively up to approx. 5% THINNER 08450 may be added, but thinning must be
done with care as the anti-sagging properties are drastically reduced by overthinning.
Airless spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment.
Induction time:
Should the paint temperature as an exception be 15C/59F or below, it is an

advantage to allow the two components to prereact before application. This is
especially relevant in the case of substrate temperatures also being below 15C/59F.
In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 15C/59F, an induction time of 15
minutes is recommended. In case of a paint or substrate temperature at 10C/50F, an
induction time of 25 minutes is recommended. In order to obtain proper application
properties, the paint temperature should preferably never be below 10C/50F. Yet for
substrate temperatures below 10C/50F an induction time of 30 minutes is
recommended.

Spray application:
Film-build/continuity: With this paint material applied in one/few coat(s) it is of special

importance that a continuous, pinhole-free paint film is obtained at application of each
coat. An application technique which will ensure good film formation on all surfaces
must be adopted. It is very important to use nozzles of the correct size, not too big, and
to have a proper, uniform distance of the spray gun to the surface, 30-50 cm should be
aimed at. Furthermore, great care must be taken to cover edges, openings, rear sides
of stiffeners etc. Thus, on these areas application of a stripe coat will therefore be good
painting practice. To obtain good and steady atomizing, the viscosity of the paint must
be suitable and the spray equipment must be sufficient in output pressure and
capacity. At high working temperatures, use of extra thinner may be necessary to avoid
dust-spray.
The paint layer must be applied homogeneously and as close to the specification as
possible. Avoid exaggerated film thickness due to the risk of sagging, cracks and
solvent retention. The paint consumption must be controlled.
The finished coating must appear as a homogeneous film with a smooth surface and
irregularities such as dust, dry spray, abrasives, should be remedied.
Brush and roller application:
At application with hand tools, brush, but especially by roller the natural tendency to a
more uneven paint film obtained by these methods, is to be counteracted by more
coats applied. If at all possible each coat is to be applied across the preceding one - in
general follow good painting practise.
On poorly prepared surfaces it is always recommended to apply the first coat by brush.
Extra thinning will facilitate the penetration of the paint material, but will also require an
extra layer to be applied.
Wet/dry film thickness:
Please note that the thixotropic nature of HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 may give
a rather "wavy" surface of the paint just after application. This smoothens at drying, but
can make it necessary to let the wet film readings be of a higher value than indicated.
In many cases the wet film thickness, reading should be 25-50 micron/1-2 mils higher
than calculated. As the wavy surface becomes more smooth during drying these extra
wet film thickness readings will not cause a higher paint consumption than otherwise
stipulated.
Film thickness/thinning:
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 is normally specified in 125-200 micron/5-8 mils.

Depending on ambient conditions, usually maximum 5% thinning with THINNER 08450
is relevant, however, increasing at high temperatures to ensure proper film formation
and avoid dust spray. May be specified down to 75 micron/3 mils. To obtain optimum
film formation in film thicknesses lower than 125 micron/5 mils dry film thickness
additional thinning with 5-10% THINNER 08450 is recommended.
Pot life:
When measured under standard conditions the pot life is 1 hour at 20C/68F for
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 respectively 1 hours at 30C/86F for HEMPADUR
MASTIC 45881. However, for a 20 litres/5 US gallons mix, and used under warm
climate conditions, the heat developed by the chemical reaction between BASE and
CURING AGENT may make the corresponding practical pot life shorter.
Therefore: At high temperatures, use the paint immediately after mixing irrespective of
equipment.

* Notes on extended recoating Intervals with HEMPADUR and HEMPATHANE

qualities
Page 5 of 6

Extended recoating intervals can be utilised when the following is strictly observed:
The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned from all sorts of contaminants including
invisible deposits of water soluble salts, oil, grease and similar harmful chemical
substances.
Surfaces having any degraded layer from exposure to UV radiation, heat etc. must have
this layer removed by mechanical cleaning methods like, water jetting, abrading or
sweep blasting.
The existing coating system must in all respects be sound and applied according to
Product Data Sheets, Application Instructions and Specification,
It should be recognised that the optimal intercoat adhesion is best ensured by
observing the interval between the stated minimum and Cured Time. Utilising
extended recoating intervals it should further be understood that by chemical nature the
intercoat adhesion between HEMPADUR qualities are better than between HEMPADUR
and HEMPATHANE qualities. To determine whether the quality of the surface cleaning is
adequate, a test patch may be relevant. However, such a test is not the final proof of
long-term durability, but if the result is doubtful, repeated cleaning will be relevant. A
more safe solution could be to refresh the surface with a new thin (diluted) coat of
HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881.
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.

HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210

APPLICATION
AND CURING
CONDITIONS:
The surface must be completely clean and dry at the time of application, and its temperature
must be above the dew point to avoid condensation. Minimum temperature for curing is
-10C/14F. At the freezing point and below, be aware of the risk of ice on the surface which will
hinder the adhesion. High humidity and/or condensation during application and the following 10
hours (20C/68F) may adversely affect the film formation.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
PRECEDING COAT: HEMPADUR 45141/45143, HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880/45881 or according to specification.
SUBSEQUENT COAT: None.

Colours:
Certain lead-free red and yellow colours may discolour when exposed to chlorine- containing
atmosphere.
Leaded colours may become discoloured when exposed to sulphide-containing atmosphere.
To obtain full opacity, an extra coat may be necessary, especially for certain lead-free colours in eg
red, orange, yellow and green.
Service
At service temperatures above 100C/212F, HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210 will become more
temperatures:
soft. Furthermore, discolouration may occur.
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 is
40-75 micron/1.6-3 mils.
Thinning:
The type and amount of thinner depend on application conditions, application method,
temperature, ventilation, and substrate. THINNER 08080 is recommended in general. THINNER
08510 may be used alternatively depending on local conditions.
Airless spray: 5-15% thinning is recommended. Under extreme conditions up to more than 20%
may be necessary to obtain satisfactory film formation.
The best result is obtained by applying a mist coat of HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210 at first, and
then 2-15 minutes later apply to full film thickness giving a uniform film formation. Do not
exaggerate the film thickness.
Electrostatic spray: 10% thinning with specified thinner is recommended. Please contact HEMPEL for further advice.

Notes:
ISSUED BY:
A completely clean surface is mandatory to ensure intercoat adhesion, especially at long

recoating intervals. Any dirt, oil, and grease has to be removed, e.g. with suitable detergent.
Salts to be removed by fresh water hosing. To check an adequate quality of the surface cleaning
a test patch is recommended before actual recoating.
CURING AGENT 95370 is sensitive to moisture. Store in a dry place and keep the can tightly
closed until use. Open curing agent cans with caution as overpressure might exist. Even small
traces of water in the mixed paint will reduce the pot-life and result in film defects.
HEMPATHANE TOPCOAT 55210 is for professional use only.

Product Data Sheet
HEMPADUR 85671
New steel: Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove salts and other
contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Abrasive blasting to near white metal Sa 2 (ISO
8501-1:2007) with a surface profile corresponding to Rugotest No. 3, BN10a, Keane-Tator Comparator
3.0 G/S, or ISO Comparator Medium (G). Other degrees of cleaning including wet methods like ultrahigh-pressure-water-jetting (UHPWJ) and blasting with mixtures of grit and water may be relevant
according to Hempel-specification. Apply immediately after cleaning.
Repair and maintenance: Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove
salts and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Old steel surfaces having been
exposed to salt water, excessive amounts of salt residues in pittings may call for abrasive blasting,
high pressure fresh water hosing, drying, and finally, dry abrasive blasting again.
Concrete: Remove slip agent and other possible contaminants by emulsion washing followed by high
pressure hosing with fresh water. Remove scum layer and loose matter to a hard, rough and uniform
surface, preferably by abrasive blasting, possibly by other mechanical treatment or acid etching. Seal
surface with suitable sealer, as per relevant painting specification.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation.
Use only where application and curing can proceed at temperatures above: 10C/50F. The
temperature of paint itself should be 15C/59F or above. In-can temperature of the paint should
preferably be below 25C/77F. Curing requires a relative humidity of: max 80%, preferably 40-60%.
In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
Reference is made to separate APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.

Note:
ISSUED BY:
The thoroughly mixed BASE and CURING AGENT must be prereacted before application (15 minutes
at 20C/68F), at other temperatures, please see APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
May be used under insulation, pipes and the like in one or two-coat systems. Dry film thicknesses
should not exceed: 300 micron/12 mils. May be specified in another film thickness than indicated
depending on purpose and area of use
Film formation of each coat has to be of good quality, free from defects such as pinholes and without
any dry spray.
Exudation of the curing agent causes the mentioned patchy, whitish, and/or greasy formation, which
will take place if the product is applied at low temperatures without proper induction time and/or if the
coating is exposed to water (rain, condensation) during drying and curing.
The minimum total dry film thickness for the system is normally: 300 micron/12 mils
The coating should be cured for at least 7 days at 20C/68F before exposure to high temperatures.
At temperatures above 160C/320F, max 205C/401F, it is recommended to apply maximum: 2 x
100 micron/4 mils. The coating will discolour at high service temperatures. Keep thinning at absolute
minimum. Do not dilute the components separately - only the mixture.
The coating is to be applied in a dry film thickness as near as possible to the specified: 100 micron/4
mils
Drying and curing conditions have to be according to APPLICATION CONDITIONS until full curing has
been obtained.
The surface MUST be completely clean before overcoating. All dust, abrasives and loose dry spray
must be removed by vacuum cleaning. Dry spray should be removed by light abrading.The coating
may only be exposed to strong direct sunlight or ultraviolet light under exceptional circumstances and
then only for short periods.
The coating is to be checked carefully and should have no patchy, whitish, and/or greasy formation,
which can hinder adhesion of the subsequent coat.
Minimum:
Non-potable water service: 36 hours (20C/68F) between the first and second coat, 24 hours
(20C/68F) between the second and third coat.
Potable water service: 3 days (20C/68F) between coats.
The approval from Folkehelseinstituttet, Norway will apply provided a minimum recoat interval of 6
days (20C/68F).
Maximum: 21 days (20C/68F).
If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure
intercoat adhesion.
