Hempel Multi-purpose Epoxy High-build Paint 500 (Summer) is a fast-drying high-solids epoxy resin coating. It provides hard abrasion-resistant protection and long-lasting barrier protection in the coating system, suitable for severely corrosive environments.
When fast handling and short overcoating times are required, Hempel Multi-purpose Epoxy High-build Paint 500 (Summer) is recommended as a high-build intermediate coat in high-performance coating systems. Due to its ultra-fast drying (twice that of similar products), it is very suitable for projects requiring fast production. This product can also be used as a self-priming surface-tolerant coating layer and a topcoat in heavy-duty coating systems.
