Leading paint manufacturer Hempel says it prides itself on providing the best coating solutions to the special and challenging problems faced by its clients.
Hempadur Mastic 45881 - a two-component, high solids epoxy coating with good adhesion and wetting properties - is a trusted and reliable solution with an excellent history of performance in harsh conditions of the Gulf, according to Cherian Varghese, Hempel's national co-ordinator for protective coatings.
"It scores over a number of traditional epoxy products and offers numerous advantages to the owners and applicators in the Gulf region," says Varghese.
Some of the advantages he cites for the product are:
Varghese continues: "Hempadur Mastic 45881 is specially designed for the protection of structural steelwork in a corrosive environment and has been successfully used on exteriors of large tanks, chemical and petrochemical plants, bridges, windmills, in above-the-waterline marine locations such as ship decks and superstructures and even on grain cargo holds."
"This product has been proven for its durability and ease of application in medium to severely corrosive environments and well received by customers," he adds. "Hempadur Mastic 45881 has been tested under different exposures and carries various certificates and approvals."
Available in a range of colours, Hempadur Mastic 45881 is approved by a major oil company in Saudi Arabia for external protection of large tanks and steel structures.
It can be tinted in many other non-stock shades on Hempel's multi-tint system, offering users a wide colour choice, Varghese says.
