Hempel A/S now launches the latest addition to the Hempaline Defend family. Hempaline Defend 430 is a next-generation tank lining created to help energy operators boost efficiency, minimize downtime and extend maintenance intervals.

The solvent-free epoxy phenolic lining streamlines application lowers energy use during installation and supports more sustainable operations by reducing VOC emissions and workplace hazards.

By combining single-coat efficiency with rapid curing and long-term durability, Hempaline Defend 430 enables asset owners to keep tanks in service longer while lowering lifecycle costs.

“After a trial application with a major tank builder, we received clear feedback that the shorter inspection time, compared to their existing lining, will significantly improve output in their workshop,” Matthew Fletcher, segment development manager, linings at Hempel A/S explains.

“With Hempaline Defend 430, asset owners benefit from a solvent-free lining that can be applied in a single coat, returned to service quickly and approved even for the most sensitive cargos,” adds Fletcher. “And with a temperature resistance up to 90°C and strong hydrocarbon resistance, Defend 430 truly offers a versatile one-product solution for storage tanks.”

Hempaline Defend is a range of high-performance lining solutions engineered for the demanding conditions of the energy and process industries. Designed to withstand corrosion, high temperatures, abrasion and exposure to a wide spectrum of chemicals and solvents, these linings provide reliable long-term protection.
