Primer/Topcoat Combined 700
Hempel's Paspalum Aspartate Direct-to-Metal 700 is a fast-curing two-component, high-solids polyaspartic coating. The product can be applied directly to metal surfaces and used as a topcoat.
Hempel's Paspalum Aspartate Direct-to-Metal 700 is a low-VOC, fast-curing, high-build coating product for the protection of steel structures in moderately to severely corrosive atmospheric environments. In mildly to moderately corrosive environments, the product can be used as a single coat applied directly to metal substrates. In severely corrosive atmospheric environments, Hempel's Paspalum Aspartate Direct-to-Metal 700 can be used on galvanized surfaces or applied over an epoxy zinc-rich primer as a two-coat system. The recommended epoxy zinc-rich product is the Hempel Pioneer Shield series.
