FILM THICKNESS

	Low	High	Recommended
Dry film thickness	30 micron [1.2 mils]	60 micron [2.4 mils]	40 micron [1.6 mils]
Wet film thickness	61 micron [2.4 mils]	122 micron [4.9 mils]	81 micron [3.2 mils]
Theoretical spreading rate	16 m²/L [652 sq ft/US gal]	8.2 m²/L [334 sq ft/US gal]	12 m²/L [489 sq ft/US gal]

Overthickness must be closely controlled and never locally exceed 80 micron [3.2 mils] DFT. On irregular surfaces it is recommended to employ special care in avoiding over application.

---

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

• Surface temperature must be above 10°C [50°F] during application and curing.
• To avoid condensation, apply on a clean and dry surface with a temperature that is at least 3°C [5°F] above the dew point.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY

• Relative humidity must be in the range 40-80% during curing.
• Relative humidity must be below 80% during application.

APPLICATION REMARKS

• Two coats of the topcoat may be necessary to obtain full hiding power.

CARBON FOOTPRINT

Dry film thickness	GWP (Global Warming Potential)
1 µm	8.2 g CO₂e/m²
1 mil	0.043 lb CO₂e/ft²

The carbon footprint is for 1 square meter / square foot of surface area with a dry film thickness of 1 micron / mil. The scope includes raw materials, in-bound transport to the Hempel factory, Hempel manufacturing processes, and any Volatile Organic Compounds emitted during and after the application of the product. It is calculated based on the standard shade defined in this PDS. Values may vary with shade.
