Protective coatings supplier, Hempel, recorded sales of $1.699 billion in 2013. Hempel is present in more than 80 countries and has 25 factories, 48 sales offices and more than150 stockpoints.
The company offers protective coatings oil and gas, chemical plants, infrastructure, rail, mining and metal processing, pipelines and power generation. In the marine segment the company provides marine maintenance and marine newbuilding products. Hempel also offers both interior and exterior decorative coatings.
Hempel launched HEMPAGUARD, a new hull coating concept for the shipping industry which offers both outstanding resistance to fouling during idle periods and significant fuel savings. The technology, dubbed ActiGuard, has been five years in development and is based on silicone-hydrogel and biocide science. Hempel’s tests show excellent fouling resistance of up to 120 days during idle periods plus fuel savings of six per cent on average with HEMPAGUARD.
Hempel offers a performance satisfaction guarantee contract for vessels complying with a full HEMPAGUARD X7 specification. HEMPAGUARD is extremely flexible – a product covering most combinations of sailing routes and trading patterns.
“Our tests have shown that HEMPAGUARD retains its effectiveness when switching between slow and fast steaming anywhere in the world as well as during extended idle periods of up to 120 days. This is particularly interesting for bulk carriers that can be redirected at short notice, as well as larger container vessels and tankers that may wish to increase speed to meet schedules, or slow steam to achieve extra fuel savings,” Claes Skat-Rørdam said.
