system), is used for re-bottoming of steel storage tanks or for reinforcing the interior of
concrete storage tanks.
Service temperatures: Dry exposure: Maximum 120°C/248°F

In water service: Resists normal ambient temperatures

HEMPEL’S EPOXY RESIN 05500
SURFACE Steel: Abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ or Sa 3, depending on the area of use.

PREPARATION: Surface profile corresponding to Rugotest No. 3 BN11, Keane-Tator Comparator 5.5 G/S, or ISO
Comparator, Coarse (G). Oil and grease must be removed with suitable detergent, salt and other
contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning prior to blasting. After blasting clean the
surface carefully from abrasives and dust. The blasted and cleaned surface may advantageously
be primed with HEMPADUR 15590.
Concrete: Remove slip agent and other possible contaminants by emulsion cleaning 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, flame
cleaning or acid etching. Seal surface with suitable sealer, e.g. HEMPADUR SEALER 05990 (see
Product Data Sheet for 05990).
For further information in respect of surface preparation, reference is made to the separate
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS or Hempel's painting specification.
APPLICATION Use only where curing can proceed at temperatures above 10°C.
CONDITIONS: The temperature of the substrate and the paint itself should be above 15°C to secure proper
application properties.
Apply on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation.
PRECEDING None, HEMPADUR SEALER 05990 or HEMPADUR 15590.
COAT:
SUBSEQUENT None or according to specification.

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 intervals.
Normal range dry is 300-600 micron/12-24 mils. Further reference is made to the separate
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Recoating: If the maximum recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure
intercoat adhesion.
Before recoating after exposure in a contaminated environment, clean surface thoroughly with high
pressure fresh water hosing and allow to dry.
Note: HEMPEL’S EPOXY RESIN 05500 is for professional use only.
