Description
Anti-Corrosion Protective Coating System for the painting of steel to protect against corrosion in C5 basic atmospheric corrosivity environments as per ISO 12944.
Systems are also available for C2, C3, and C4 corrosivity environments (ranging from Medium, High and Very High - specified separately).
Full system includes zinc-rich Primer, Undercoat and Topcoat.
If you require an Intumescent System, see 'Intumescent Fire Protection' and choose the system you require. If you would like specific information or advice on specifying a system for your project please contact Hempel.
Selecting the correct paint system for protection against corrosion requires a variety of factors to be taken into account to ensure that the most economical and best technical solution is achieved. For each project the most important factors to consider before selecting a protective coating are:
- Environmental Corrosivity (see table in image 2 above or Hempel ISO 12944 Brochure attached).
- Type of protected surface - Designing a coating system normally involves dealing with construction materials such as steel, hot dipped galvanized steel, spray-metallised steel, aluminium or stainless steel. The surface preparation, the paint products used (particularly the primer) and the total system thickness will depend mainly on the construction material to be protected.
- The durability required for a paint system. The lifetime of a paint system is assumed to be the period of time which passes until maintenance is required for the first time after application. ISO 12944 specifies a range of four time frames to categorize durability (see table in image 3 above or Hempel ISO 12944 Brochure attached).
- Planning the paint application process. The building schedule and the various stages of construction of any particular project determine how and when the paint system needs to be applied. Consideration needs to be given to materials at their prefabrication stage, when components are being prefabricated both off and on-site and when building stages are complete. It is necessary to plan the job so that surface preparation and the drying/curing time of paint products in relation to temperature and humidity are considered. Also if one stage of construction takes place in a protected workshop environment and the next stage then takes place on site, recoating intervals must also be taken into account.

System performance | C5 High (LFTM: 15–25 Years). Guidance for specification option: High corrosivity category (C5) environments requiring High durability (15-25 years estimated life to first major maintenance), such as: External: Industrial areas of high humidity and aggressive atmosphere and inshore areas of high salinity. Internal: Buildings and areas of almost constant condensation and high contamination. Hempadur Avantguard 550: An activated, zinc epoxy primer, Avantguard 550 functions as a zinc-rich epoxy featuring a higher mechanical strength, recommended as a versatile primer for long-term protection of steel in severely corrosive environments. Hempaprime Multi 500: A fast drying, high solids epoxy paint. It provides hard wearing and long lasting barrier protection in coating systems for severe corrosive environments. The product meets the requirements of ISO 12944 Part 5, 2019 when used as part of a predefined paint system. Hempathane HS 55610: This type of polyurethane has a high resistance to chemical leaks and spills. VOC compliant, with good gloss and colour retention. It is recommended as a topcoat for anticorrosive protection for industrial structures such as refineries, cellulosic plants, mines, exterior of storage tanks as well as in ports and ships. |
Preparation | Guidance for specification option: Blast clean to the cleanliness preparation grade Sa2½ according to ISO 8501-1: 2007 or as per the Product Data Sheet of the primer to be applied. Both metallic and non-metallic abrasives can be used. Grit is recommended. Remove any remaining dust before applying the paint. Surface preparation for most common substrates Carbon Steel, including cast iron and Corten steel Remove oil and grease by fresh water washing with a suitable detergent followed by fresh water rinsing to remove remaining salts and other contamination. Solvent cleaning may also be applied for small areas. All surfaces to be prepared in accordance with the coating manufacturer's written instructions.
