Anti-corrosive two coat system

This new topcoat offers enhanced corrosion protection by actively repelling water from the coated surface. By enabling the use of fewer coating layers, Hempel claims that this solution for offshore assets and installations can be applied faster and lasts longer than conventional coatings solutions, saving owners time and money.

For optimum protection, Hempatop Repel 800 is used in combination with Hempel’s ground-breaking patented Avantguard technology activated zinc primer – Avantguard 770. The first volumetric water repellent topcoat on the market, Hempatop Repel 800 (used with Avantguard as the first coat) delivers improved flexibility and crack resistance, increased adhesion retention and minimises corrosion.

The two products work together to create an extremely robust anti-corrosive system. This unique two-coat system requires one coat less than standard protective coatings solutions for offshore installations and, according to Hempel, lasts significantly longer. This simplifies the construction and maintenance processes of offshore assets, reducing costs for owners.
