Danish coating manufacturer Hempel has introduced a new versatile high-build epoxy intermediate coating. It is mainly for industrial assets.
The new coating called Hempaprime Multi 500 gives faster drying times and shorter minimum overcoat intervals for the oil and gas sector and[ds_preview] for the infrastructure. Hempaprime Multi 500 enables three coats to be applied in 2 0% less time than current products without compromising on quality, strength, finish or the high-volume solids of the product Hempel informs.
It is a versatile coating that can be used as a direct to metal or on primed surfaces, as primer, intermediate or topcoat application and is also ideal for minor repairs offering customers simplicity with a single coating solution.
Due to the robustness of Hempaprime Multi 500, fast drying time, faster hardness development and improved cracking resistance, it is possible to move the coated steel or even build upon it faster, with a reduced risk of damaging the coating. This decreases the need for reblasting and recoating.
According to the developer the ne coating can be easily applied by spray, brush or roller, offering further efficiencies to asset owners.
